movie The Little Mermaid (2023) | Makes a BIG streaming splash on Disney+ | 16M views! 🫧🐚

56% drop from a movie that undeperformed 1st week, and flopped overseas is still bad. That movie was just ok. It's beyond time to let go of live action remakes.

Nope, Aladdin had great legs the fact that TLM is keeping up with it, it's amazing. The only problem is if those predictions are accurate.

 

TLM wont go far away $600M WW though and wont break-even with Box Office alone. That's a fact.

A respectable drop. Not a complete bomb that others like to tout around here.

Please this is the post Memorial Day weekend where audiences really start the shift towards the weekdays and it's clear from the Friday bumps by all films. A 56% drop 2nd weekend is great, especially as it is matching Aladdin's raw number too. No reason why it shouldn't replicate at least some of the legs that Aladdin saw for the summer.

Call me optimistic but I feel like this movie will have legs. It’s undoubtedly one of if not Disney’s best live action remake. Im planning to see it again

Girl same, I’m really rooting for this one and will be seeing this again too. I love Halle and her amazing vocals but I will also be watching for my Prince Eric Jonah Hauer-King

#2 in France again on Saturday 

[CosTaSsSs]

Gonna watch this again once my sister and friend return from vacations! 

[Dialamba]

can we talk about her vocals

My thots: 

I thought it was pretty good overall, with the mindset it mostly for kids. Idk why my expectations were pretty low but definitely left with a positive impression. The graphics were stunning! Definitely had a magical feel. I did feel the ending was quite rushed though?

Halle, Mellissa and scuttle/flounder/seb did a good job. The other actors were quite wooden imo. I know Awkwafina gets dragged sometimes but she did a really good job. 

[industry baby]

I’m at the cinema to watch this and i’m only one in their 20s 

Its all kids and their parents here ihihihi , i feel stupid but anyways imma enjoy this movie

Yes, i feel like this movie will benefit from word of mouth, people have been really positive. 

 

They have uploaded the scuttlebutt scene on youtube. If they”re smart they release Kiss The Girl when the numbers start dropping and Part Of Your World to give it a final boost. They also have the second half of Under The Sea that hasnt been uploaded yet.

 

The whole marketing has been a slow burn from the beginning. They started with the darkest scenes, and muted colors. Only for the brightest stuff to be revealed last.

$40.6M 2nd wknd domestic, $187M running total. On the lower end of what I thought but still, a 57% drop is solid for this weekend. Anything below 60% was a good sign IMO.

Sure, Jan.

[BNF91]

OS with a beautiful hold! $42.6M wknd down just 38% from last wknd. $141M running total. It can still get to $275M OS before Japan release, which means $300M+ still possible.

 

Global weekend take is $83M (-51%), for $327M running total. With Domestic looking safe to clear $300M and then some, we can still reach $625-650M total, or more.

Whut? It will be lucky to reach amount in total with Japan.

It's at $141M after a $42.6M 2nd weekend. That's a 38% drop in spite of it completely dying off in China/SK. There's no reason why it can't make another $130M without Japan. That's not even a longshot guess like..

Are you taking internationally or about US?

Dumbo did $238,518,314 overall internationally WITH Japan and it opened slightly higher than TLM, internationally.  Without Japan, Dumbo would be at $230M internationally OVERALL that is a $45M gap with $275M. I don't think The Little Mermaid will reach $275M without Japan.

I'm sorry but who cares what Dumbo did? We are talking about completely different release windows (March/April Vs Summer), Dumbo was not nearly as well received as TLM and TLM seems to have had a much stronger hold and also a bigger weekend than Dumbo had in its 2nd weekend. Despite opening higher, Dumbo has already fallen behind TLM OS. Why are you worrying about what Dumbo did? Especially after it got destroyed by a little movie called Avengers Endgame which opened to over $1.2 BILLION.

 

Just extract multipliers using a typical summer run family films. Another $130M off $42M 2nd weekend is... Totally normal.

I loved the movie. Halle and the actor who played the prince Eric have a great chemistry 

 

Can't wait to rewatch it on Disney+

I mean I believe will TLM will outsell Dumbo internationally too but not with a 45M gap (outside of Japan). We will see.

Just do the math and you'll see. 30-40% drops with lucrative summer weekdays takes TLM to $273M by mid July and that's without even counting in Japan. 

 

Dumbo got literally annihilated, wiped off the face of the earth in like it's 4th or 5th week by a $1.2 billion opening, the biggest debut of all-time by a mile.
