I would fix the thread title because it didn’t make $200M opening weekend and you’re inviting people to drag.

The title doesn't say it made $200M opening weekend, it states that the gross is $200M. Which it is.

He was enchanted here too, hence the glowing eyes. But his love for Ariel was still fighting its way through the enchantment.

 

Spoiler

Oh really?!? That felt less obvious in that version 😶😶😶

Yeah, his eyes glowed gold and then the scene faded away with just the gold in his eyes remaining.

It's coming from the Xtina flop eras. 

That's uncalled for.

Numbers are numbers from a trusted source boo. Funny how you couldn't explain and instead came after my fave.

And you don't need to come for Xtina's flop eras when it looks like TLM has their own flop and won't have additional "eras" to worry about after this GIGANTIC worldwide debut flop. Good luck to TLM on booking that $1 Billion Dollar box office that ya'll speak of.

Exactly! That's what I said and got told by MULTIPLE people that is was due to racism. smh

It's just numbers, receipts just like everything else we use on this forum.

Any predictions for its second weekend?

Monday domestic jumped from $21M to $23.2M with actuals. Slightly better hold than Aladdin from Sun-Mon (-15%). in fact, of the 10 biggest Memorial Wknd debuts, it's the 2nd best hold, only behind Top Gun Maverick. Great 

 

OS Monday at $11M. Global total $198M after 4 days.

Sweetheart, the 185M$ (now 187M) number you quoted was including 4 days in US and was missing the 4th day internationally. 

The actual 3 day run number was $165M WW. So the +$200M WW report for 4 days in title  was accurate.

I just came out of my showing! It was very cute. Halle was PERFECT as Ariel. Wish we got more of the animals. King Flounder robbed. I thought Scutter’s Song was cute. The movie did feel a biT too long though. Overall very happy, and I think it will thrive on D+

Obsessed with the soundtrack. Also love how they expanded upon the love story (actually showing Eric being into Ariel. Def my 2nd fave Disney-remake, Jungle Book remains supreme though.

 

 

Oh and Jonah is a MAN! 

[barbiegrande]

Definitely the best live action remake so far. Halle was perfectly casted. Am I the only one who thinks she resembles a young Sandra Bullock? Something about their eyes. 
 

Melissa McArthy was a miscast though. Not nearly enough charisma. Felt like she was doing a skit rather than actually embodying Ursula.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the raves for Melissa's performance? She brought NOTHING new to the character of Ursula at all, choices were clearly made. 

No, you're completely right  The contrast between Melissa's performance and Jessica Alexander's, who actually delivered Ursula/Vanessa's unhingedness and crazy eyes, is like night and day. She focused entirely on sounding like Ursula's original voice actress but forgot all about how expressive she was with her face and movements in the animation.

Is it just my FYP or is this movie all over Tiktok? Hopefully that helps its legs.

Just got done watching it. It was really cute and fun, definitely entertaining. Halle did a superb job as Ariel and her voice is fantastic, Prince Eric was great and I LOVED Ursula. However, it was definitely way too long. I'm not sure why it was as long as it was, there was no need for it to be an hour longer than the original. The climax of the movie with Ursula was incredible but ended far too quickly. I have to say with all the hubbub about changing Ariels race, to me what was actually confusing was Eric's mom being black. That literally made NO sense. 

 

The CGI at times was really terrible and others really amazing. Not sure why they couldn't get it right for the entire movie. 

 

Anyway, it was a cute movie. Nothing spectacular but it doesn't deserve all the hate. I also don't think the "dark" scenes were bad at all like social media was trying to make it out to be. 

 

7/10

[Ivan_brit]

Just saw it today & I honestly loved it! It was really good probably one of the best Disney LIve actions with Beauty & the Beast & Aladdin

 

Halle did a really good job

 

Melissa & Prince Eric both are perfect for each character

 

Flounder was ugly that was my only complain!

[EmailMySwift]

This movie is far from perfect but I can't at it getting a lower Rotten Tomatoes score than Beauty and the Beast.

Right? It was at least a step up from that, but it will likely struggle to get to 500M.

#1 in France again for a 5th day
