I am talking about Oscar, Critics Choice, Golden Globes, Guilds, and BAFTAs.
What are the critics saying about the film?
Rotten-Tomatoes - 71% favorable rating, 6.6/10 critical mean
Broadcast Film Critics - 81/100
Overall, the reviews are solid. It's viewed as a good film, not a great one. The Jungle Book (88/100 on BFCA, 95% on RT) and Cinderella (84/100 on BFCA, 83% on RT) were viewed more favorably than BATB.
Awards Attention for the previous two live-action adaptation:
Cinderella - BAFTA, Guild, Critics Choice, and Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design.
The Jungle Book - Won BAFTA, Guild, Critics Choice, and Oscar for Best Visual Effects. It was also nominated for best film editing for a comedy/musical at the EDDIE awards, and Best Sound at the MPSE Golden Reel Awards.
What advantage does BATB have over Cinderella and TJB?
Box-office. BATB has already grossed over 300 million dollars in the domestic box-office in two weekends. TJB grossed about 364 million total. Cinderella only grossed 201 million. Yes, "only" is correct. I highly doubt the movie is going to be forgotten. It's probably going to rival the amount of money Star Wars Episode 8 will make.
I am going to say, its award contention will be:
Art Direction
Costume Design
Sound (editing or mixing)
Song
Visual Effects
Score
Emma Watson (maybe)
I don't see any screenplay or picture consideration, but I would think it should get more awards attention than Cinderella and TJB.
What do you think?
