the box office numbers for this are honestly only bad because the budget is so inflated. If Disney was remotely fiscally responsible, they wouldn't have basically set this movie up to lose money. The total this will reach (500 something global) should have been enough to break even and even turn a bit of profit during theatrical release but nope

 

the fact that the even more expensive Indiana Jones is up next

Very nice hold, even better than earlier, -5% and still right on track. It closed the gap a bit since Tuesday between it and Aladdin (7.7M/6.1M on Tues Vs 4.7M/4.1M on Thurs). Hopefully $22-23M this weekend.

TLM still #1 in Brazil on 3rd Friday despite Spiderverse and Transformers debuts 

 

If we can see nice holds in OS markets, plus Japan debut of $5M or so, then hopefully OS total will be $190M+ by Sunday.

In #Japan’s #BoxOffice, #TheLittleMermaid kept #1 grossing 1.9M on SAT, going up +46.2% from FRI Opening Day for a 3.2M 2-day cume. Eyeing a 4.5M-5.2M 3-day opening.

Watched the og version again and I definitely prefer the live action version! Halle really nailed it and I'm so glad this movie happened regardless of what it's doing commercially.

I saw it and it was good overall for a re-make. I don't quite think that Halle has the vulnerability in her voice that the original has, but I thought she was amazing in the non-speaking parts on land. Poor Flounder was completely cut out though Sebastian was probably a highlight of the movie. It also didn't feel too long to me at all.

$6.8M 3rd Friday domestic, a great jump and locking at least $23M for the weekend. Could even still beat Aladdin's 3rd weekend and go as high as $26M.

Does anyone know if this did well in Poland? The Polish Ariel is also black, and she's loved there

It's doing well there, just a 6% drop in its 2nd weekend. Running just behind Aladdin.

It's dong  ok in Poland. In two first  weeks ~ 235k ppl have watched it.

But apparently, they don't really like what they see. Average score on the most popular movie website is just  4.6/10.

31% of the scores being 1 star is painfully telling.

A film with an actual score of 4.6/10 most certainly would not have a 6% drop in the 2nd weekend. I think we know what's up here.

This likely will fail to outgross half of Aladdin total.

imdb actually has the same average, but they filtered out a lot to adjust for the biased 1s

This was lamer than I thought it would be. The underwater visuals were drab and boring, Under the Sea and Kiss the Girl scenes had all magic sucked out of them and were ridiculously underwhelming, Bardem’s Triton was serving stale bread and the scenes with him and Ariel were really strange for some reason. The ending was such an unearned, artificial tearjerk moment, I was mad it pulled like 3 full tears from my eyes when I felt nothing but boredom and annoyance for the entirety of the movie. 

 

Halle was very warm, charming and likable, Melissa ate. I liked the extended Eric arc/character too, but overall it’s a no from me.

In #Japan’s #BoxOffice, after grossing strong 2M on SUN, going up +5.3% from SAT, #TheLittleMermaid achieved a 5.2M 3-day opening weekend locally! That’s the Biggest 3-day weekend for any #Disney release Post-Covid in the market, beating #AvatarTheWayOfWater’s 4.7M.

Yes it will.  There is no doubt about. Especially now that TLM is outperforming Dumbo in Japan by 2x.

Not to be a party pooper but The Jungle Book did 5.8M in the opening weekend and ended up with $23M total. Japan is all about legs. If it reaches 20M that would be decent given the circumstances in other Asian markets.

So this is flopping or not ?
