This is proof that money doesn't buy creativity. 

 

Daveed Diggs has very little vocal personality compared to Samuel E Wright. 

 

Ariel hates being under the sea but has the time of her life singing Under the Sea. 

 

During this clever rhyme scheme, in the animated version you saw all the sea creatures' actions match the lyrics. Here it's...a turtle swimming... 

 

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
Yeah!
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
And oh, that blowfish blow

You are right they shouldn't have added halles vocals it sounds dumb and is another dumb decision by the creators

It needs $700M-800M to break-even by Box Office alone but Disney makes hundreds of millions with ancillary profits. Cinderella with a $95M budget and $130M (advertisement and printing) only made a $5M profit with a $545M gross. And later the profit hit $165M with ancillary figures. 

 

https://deadline.com/2016/03/cinderella-movie-profit-2015-box-office-disney-1201724740/

 

Also another good news is that the profit outside of the Box Office (like TV and CD sales) is more Domestic-centric which is a strong market for TLM.  

According to Official sources they say it's $560m Breakeven

 

But it's more likely $625m

 

The $700-800m figure is extremely unlikely

$560M is including ancillary figures. It says so in article. 

 

"In a break-even scenario off a $560M global box office (meaning a net profit of $71M before participations and residuals are accounted for), we’re told that Little Mermaid‘s global film revenues would amount to $547M against its combined production, global theatrical and home entertainment marketing expenses of $476M. The pic’s revenues broken down include $267M in global theatrical film rentals, $100M net in domestic pay/free TV and what Disney pays itself to put the movie on Disney+, $100M in global home entertainment (DVD, digital), and $80M in international TV and streaming."

Disappointed by the numbers to be completely honest but it's not the failure the antis are making it out to be.

Very nice 3rd Monday domestic. $3M (vs. Aladdin's $3.2M), down just 33% from last Monday. Summer weekdays! Will be quite a bit past $250M domestic by Sunday. Lots of money still to make. 

 

Cute $700k Monday in Japan. $5.8M after 4 days. 

 

Edit: actual Monday domestic is even better, down just 57% from Sunday and 31% from last Monday, almost identical with Aladdin ($3.14M Vs 3.19M). Amazing.

I've yet to see the movie but none of the negativity has put me off at all. I have also loved the merch and i couldn't help but get myself the Ariel doll along with the mini Ariel doll.

[bad guy]

A bit bummed this won’t beat that forgotten Aladdin movie WW. This was actually enjoyable and Halle is the perfect Ariel.

Can we call this a flop yet? Flipping your fins didn't get this film to far, indeed.

Early domestic Tuesday number of $4M. I think that will go up a bit. Still, down just 33% from last week. 

 

First early projections from Box Office Pro for next weekend sees a wonderful $18M. That would be a drop of just 21% from the 3rd wknd and have TLM at $261M domestic by Monday. 

I think it will come in a bit lower than that ($15-16M) but still very good.

It's disheartening to know that the US is the least racist country.

[Monsieurgedeon]

I don't know. I think Spiderverse just showed that race might not be the issue here. Spiderman opened great in China and in the world in general and the lead is afrolatino. 

 

Also TLM has legs in Japan and Philippines so this rhetoric of Asians countries are racist seems really simplistic.

 

The animated movie might not have resonated so much in the rest of the world vs the US as everybody expected (the BO for the first run in the rest of the world were really low). Maybe it's not such a great movie?
