“Hopefully, I’m
optimistic the Garuda players will be more ready compared to the previous years,”
the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) chairman Edy Rahmayadi told Tempo yesterday,
19th of March, via a text message.
Edy is
confident because the Under-22 national team had been progressing nicely since

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST' NABS $357 MILLION WORLDWIDE
"Beauty
and the Beast," Disney's live action remake of its beloved 1991 animated
film, made $357.1 million at the worldwide box office this weekend.
Of that 174.8 million came at theaters in North
America.
The domestic total exceeded what people in the
industry had expected, and it broke the record for the biggest box office
opening in March. The record had been held by last year's opening of
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." It is also the best opening
weekend of 2017 so far.
The film, which stars Emma Watson as Belle, is
another blockbuster hit for Disney's live action reboots of animated films. The
franchise includes 2010's "Alice in Wonderland," 2014's
"Maleficent," 2015's "Cinderella," and the last year's
"The Jungle Book."
"Beauty and the Beast' is the latest
example of Disney's perfectly executed strategy of going to their animation
vaults, dusting off a classic and reinventing it as a modern live-action
movie," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at comScore.
The film's PG rating, mid-March release,
casting, and mix of both new and classic songs helped lead to the film's big
opening, Degarabedian said.
The record haul is good news for Disney since
the movie had a steep $160 million production budget.
Other live action remakes in development at
Disney: "Dumbo," "The Lion King," "Aladdin,"
"Mulan" and "Pinocchio."
Thank
you viewers. That’s all for now.

bless, keep save, stay tune only on HK News.
