On what date did Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast premiere in London?
Answer
February 23, 2017
Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast premiered in London on February 23, 2017.
The premiere took place at Spencer House in London before the film's wider theatrical rollout. Bill Condon directed the production, which adapted Disney's 1991 animated feature with live-action performances, new visual effects, and several additional musical elements.
The premiere date is easy to confuse with the film's release dates. Its theatrical release began in several markets in March 2017, including the United States on March 17. The London premiere therefore preceded the main commercial opening by several weeks. The film starred Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast.
