Snatched the Spiderverse from #1 is CRAZY Japan really stanning TLM hard!

It is heading for $20M add or take $2M.

 

Other Disney remakes in Japan:

 

Aladdin - $115M

Beauty and the Beast - $110M

TLK - $62M

Cinderella - $47M

 

Japan is a bigger market for Disney than the UK is. TLM numbers in Japan are nowhere near UK, struggling to reach half of the gross. 

Japan is reacting better than China and Korea but it is not "stanning hard".

Is this good?

[BNF91]

Disney is low balling their estimates for Sunday and Monday domestic dunno why. No way it drops 20% on Sunday, with Juneteenth on Monday.

Glad Japan stanned. I know it's the super East Asian country.

[Gorjesspazze9]

This is actually doing decent in America. If only international numbers were stronger

It's not good if we're being honest.

But we don't need to worry about Halle's career IMO.

"The Flash" takes the cake as the biggest bomb so far.

Somebody else should have been The Flash, not Ezra. He was wrong for the part from the start and he made his character into a parody. It almost ruined the rest of the DCEU movies he was in. The Flash should have been given to someone like Tom Holland.

The Flash is an all-time level bomb, but even looking at just Disney releases - Elemental and probably Indiana Jones will lose more money for them than The Little Mermaid will

 

so you know...still not good but at least not worst in show

TLM will return the money back with ancillaries. 

 

The breakeven point for Maleficent 2 with ancillary figures was 485M.

 

TLM seems to resemble it in terms of commercial success. 

 

Could've been worse.

Quote

Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” rounded out the top five with $11.6 million in its fourth weekend in theaters. The live-action remake has amassed $253 million in North America and $466 million to date, which would have been a good result… had the movie not cost $250 million to produce. At this rate, “The Little Mermaid” is struggling to break even in its theatrical run.

Do we start to panic now???

No, we knew it wont breakeven with theaterical rentals alone since the first week.

 

It will get the money back with streaming, TV and DVD/VHS sales.

Sure, but Disney doesn't put out these remakes for them to lose money theatrically and have to many their money back on the ancillary market. That's nothing but a disappointment

 

just not as big of a disappointment as other stuff going on around it for Disney

Variey is unreliable cause they even predict it to end its run with less than $500M

[Sexyzinger]

It's not breaking even.

So we're comparing Maleficent with Ariel now?

Ariel is an iconic Disney character and this movie should have done 3x more based on the title alone.

A flop is a flop. Oh well...
