kitasss_vlc Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I had no spectations after all... and I actually enjoyed it! Β Wouldnt say I loved it cause there was something weird about it... I couldnt say what exactly... but Halle ate and left no crumbs, she did amazing! Just missing iconic scenes like the all sisters at the begining or Sebastian and the chef, instead of Eric's solo, for example... but I could understand the reasons, I guess... Β Still, completely undeserved hate and I dont understand why the figures are not higher, honestly... still decent numbers, calling it a flop is not justified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsieurgedeon Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) This kind of statement is really dangerous and completely unfounded in 2023 where a lot of IPs failed miserably. You all seem to completely ignore the performance worldwide of the first movie. As this one, it was basically a flop outside of the US with main revenues coming from the US only. Β Thinking that TLM had the same power of Aladdin was biased from the start.Β Β There is also a reason why Disney only focused the promo in the US with only avant premiere in other countries but very limited and almost no other kind of promo. + Halle voice is basically completely eradicated from the movie for other countries.Β Β Being so sure that the movie would have been a bigger success with a white girl is weird imo, when it could have been a bigger flop. The casting at least drove a lot of discussions surrounding the movie regarding the casting, way more than if Ariel was a copy paste.Β Β EDIT: Sorry wanted to quote Aristotle but it didn't workΒ Edited June 20, 2023 by Monsieurgedeon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Art Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 There were a few wonky moments in the film (like Eric's solo...), but overall, this was pretty enjoyable for me, especially considering some of the absolute tragedies Disney has produced with some of these live action remakes. Β Halle's acting wasn't exactly a showstopper, but it was more than good enough β her voice, on the other hand, was indescribably good. I literally had chills during "Part of Your World" and in fact prefer some of her song's versions compared to the original ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China really dumped Mario down though. Β -- Β For you who are unaware of how movies breakeven, for TLM's case in particular: Β 320M Domestic gross -> 176M profit (55% of the overall score) 280M International gross -> 112M profit (40% of the overall score) 4M China gross -> 1M profit (25% of the overall score) Β So with a $604M total gross TLM will turn a 289M profit. Β The costs for the movie are: 140M Marketing 250M BudgetΒ Β 390M total. You do the math. Β BUT:Β ~120-180M additional profit comes from DVD/VHS sales, TV and streaming. [ this number includes the expenses of video costs $50M and interest (250M-70M=180M) ] Edited June 21, 2023 by Aristotle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
