Personally, I don't think it's too fun for anything in real life unless there is some sort of comparison. So treat this as one of those "VS" threads, more specifically:
Beauty and the Beast (2017) V Once Upon a Time (2017) [also called Three Lives, Three Worlds]
It seems BatB fares better than Rogue One in China, but not by a lot.
Anyways, since there is not a lot of English info on the latter I'll list them in point form below:
1. Three Lives Three Worlds (the TV drama) has garnered over 30 billion views since it aired in China this Feb. At 58 episodes total that's a mind-boggling 500 million views/episode, or more than the total population of the USA!
2. Alibaba Pictures is attached to the movie adaptation that screens this coming July. Will it fare better/worse than BatB?
3. 3L3W deals with the theme of reincarnation, hence the "three lives" in its alternate title, and also a girl dressing up as a boy. There is rumor circulating that Rey will be revealed to be the reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker in Episode 8, and Disney is looking to go live action Mulan. So theoretically, China could claim to be first in both categories (a movie dealing with reincarnation, a movie about a girl appearing as boy)
4. The 3L3W movie has a very much "Disney's Princess" tone to it. With Alibaba Pictures attached to its production, it's possible it could be dubbed in English and released in the West.
5. Once again, 3L3W (OUaT) movie releases in July 2017. We shall see then the audience's reactions to BatB vs OUaT.
Anyways, the teaser trailer (some scenes in the trailer like standing on clouds/floating platforms only make sense because the characters are immortals):
