Imagine thinking she wants ignorant, racist fans. :toofunny3: It's clear which person has morals here.

I would have done the same thing tbh!! It was blatant racism hidden in a compliment

NO SPOILERS

I don't call the actors by their name except for Halle because I don't know most of them:

 

Triton was a disaster. If his acting was a painting I would ask for a refund. Ursula was so-so.

 

Eric looked very charming but his script, body language and to a lesser degree acting could've done better. In some of his pics posted here he looked really bad but I did not see that at all. He approximated the physical appearance of the prince better than any other remake prince did. Better actor than Philip and not as much as Prince Charming in Cinderella. 

 

The animals looked and acted soulless like in other remakes but more progressive than the Lady and the Tramp (the trailer) and a bit worse than the TLK. 

 

Halle's acting was good but not as good as Aurora's and Cinderella's but still. Her lines were usually not very challenging and she sings or stays mute for 1/3 of film. So I cannot make a great judgment based on that. But she did approximate the mannerisms and the voice-acting of the OG Ariel better than Triton or Ursula did. Ariel in general is easier to act than Ursula or Triton so that gives Halle an advantage compared to the other two. But at the same time, Triton did not even bother.

This is an excellent hold. $300M domestic looks a lot more likely now which will spare Disney some blushes.

Oh yea looks like Disney will probably Breakeven from this if it holds this well. The soundtrack will generate a maximum of $1m in profits.

 

Likely $500k only tho

So it's looking like there's no chance of any sort of sequel right? :'(

Same holds as Aladdin until Sunday gets TLM a $47.5M 2nd weekend and just a few million short of $200M domestic by Sunday already. With Spiderverse about to explode it will likely hit TLM. A little bit. But if anything, it is pretty damn good counterprogramming to Spiderverse and will also be the #1 option for spillover from sellouts so who knows what happens. I'm inclined to believe that this will likely be very weekday heavy as we are entering peak summer weekdays. 

 

Let's say a $40-45M 2nd weekend. Anything sub 60% would be solid IMO and set it up well to play through the summer very much like Aladdin did. This is also skewing mega female heavy, like mid to high 60s percent of viewers are female. Apart from Elemental (which is flop city) there's nothing until Barbie in mid July to affect it a ton.

Just saw this in theater, it was so good :smitten:

 

Halle IS Ariel. Her voice, her mannerisms, everything. She outsold the original. Sebastian and Scuttle were also hilarious as well, really enjoyed their banter. I’m not a fan of Lin Manuel Miranda, so I might be biased when I say he was kind of meh, but otherwise I thought the movie was really good

Curious why didn’t they hit up James Cameron for some underwater filming or anything. The clips I’ve seen look too obviously fake especially the hair on the water. Makes it hard to want to see it

Yeah but they could have made it seem like more than a cheap cash grab.

 

Its supposed to be “realistic” hence the awful visuals of the crab and fish to look “real”

 

Like sure that would increase budget but a big part of the flack this movie has gotten has been visuals.
