Aladdin has crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office on Thursday making it the fifth Disney live-action movie to do so after Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Congratulations to the cast and crew!!! Very Happy

No clue where to post this, but I recently learned that theatres in South Korea have been showing a singalong version of the new movie!!

Her solo song "Speechless," the newly added number on the film's original soundtrack, is gaining huge popularity in South Korea, along with beloved hits like "A Whole New World" and "Friend Like Me."

Moreover, the presence of "Aladdin" in 4DX theaters has helped accelerate the film's belated popularity in the country. The 4DX version gives audiences a chance to experience the feeling of a magic carpet ride while the romantic song "A Whole New World" is played.

More than 250,000 people had seen the film in 4DX theaters as of Tuesday, making it the most-viewed musical film shown on 4DX screens in South Korea.

Riding the burgeoning craze for the movie, local multiplex chains like CJ CGV moved to offer singalong screenings for "Aladdin" starting Monday, allowing the audience to sing together during the movie. In this karaoke version, the lyrics pop up on the big screen.

(There's also this somewhat useless video: https://youtu.be/rq_S9kAoISA)

One sign of the popularity of "Speechless" in South Korea may be that alllllll the K-pop stars have been posting covers of it. Even the guys!! Laughing

I posted about it under the random things thread, but I'm so mad we're all finding out about this months later cause I didn't hear a thing until a month and a half after the movie had been out.

Whoops! You totally did and I totally read it too.

My local theatre had the moving seats (but none of the other stuff) but I didn't try it because they're 3x the price of a regular ticket ...
