Why hasn't there been any marketing or press for the 3D release of Beauty & the Beast as opposed for The Lion King. We're getting so close to the release date but we still haven't seen any ads or press for the movie (new interviews with the filmmakers, the cast and crew etc). Why is that?
Are you sure? I've seen plenty of commercials for it (BatB 3D) on TV for the past month or two. :?

I think it may have to deal with the fact that the TLK advertisements also served as a cross promotion for the Diamond that came out the next month, whereas BATB doesn't have a new release coming out anytime soon.

So, are there any official news on European releases? I read somewhere that it's being released in Germany in February, but I'm not really trusting the source.

In Greece we're getting it on March :cry: Lame. 15/3/2012
If we're getting it though, the rest of Europe surely will get it as well.

There has literally been zilch promo or hype for this at all .... Not even BATB merchandise which is unheard of for Disney, surely ?

I hope this one doesn't flop like the IMAX releases did and puts Disney off the future re-releases. I need to the The Little Mermaid !

Do you think it is because the Blu and 3D Blu has already come out ?

yeah, probably it's because the BD is already out. it's a shame because BatB is much better that TLK in 3D and (for me) better as a movie. did the IMAX release flop??

Maybe flop is a bit mean, but they did badly enough for Disney to halt All future IMAX releases. I think Aladdin was half way though being done, but was abandoned ?

It's not logical. I am surprised BatB actually beat TLK in the box-office. I don't get why they are not promoting it nowadays. and the box-office of the releases definitely does not justify the cancellation of Aladdin (IMAX)..

Domestic gross
The Lion King (IMAX) $15,686,215
Beauty and the Beast (IMAX) $25,487,190

Yeah, a bit late, but it's great as long as you're still getting it, March or not. Hopefully the rest of Europe will follow suite.

I really don't care how long we will have to wait in Europe, as long as we get it at all. Disney are releasing The Lion King in Norwegian cinemas next week, so I imagine Beauty and the Beast could be released in the summer or autumn 2012...

And I do hope that it does ok, in order for Disney to continue with those re-releases/3D-upgrades!

I've seen it advertised a few times on TV, but nothing like The Lion King release. I think it has to do with the Blu-ray/3D Blu-ray already being out. There isn't anything new coming out to promote the movie. I know Best Buy is advertising the free ticket promo from DMR in next weeks ad. Too bad I've already entered all those codes. :(

I see Beauty and the Beast commercials ALL THE TIME!!!!! My friends have even mentioned it on Twitter and Facebook several times. I guess it depends on what channels you watch, but I've seen them on ABC, ABC Family, Bravo, etc.

Is this going to be a two week thing like The Lion King was originally? I won't been in a town with a cinema till January 28th (it's third week of release) and will be most disappointed if I am unable to see it.

Hmm at my local cinema, Vue, one of the assistants said (when asked about BATB 3D) said that it wasn't in the upcoming schedule ?? If this is true I will be so upset !!

Does anyone know what the name of the song/music is in the short trailer? it's kind of a moody type of theme, puts the movie in a whole new perspective.

I checked the listings for this Friday's shows and disappointedly, Beauty and the Beast didn't get a 2-D screening. The Lion King was in 2-D for the first showing and then 3-D for the rest of the day. But, it looks like they're only offering Beauty and the Beast in 3-D.

Is this the case for everybody else, too?
