CAIRO — Though "Beauty and the Beast" was released over a month ago in Egyptian theaters, it's still making waves.
The movie has been ruling the box office for more than a month now, even though several other movies were also released during Egypt’s spring holiday season. As of April 18, the movie had made 8 million Egyptian pounds (about $443,000). The unprecedented revenues the movie raked in in Egypt are in line with its record revenues around the world, making it one of 29 films to bring in over $1 billion.
