ALA Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 The overseas numbers were rough. This deserved to do better than even Beauty and the Beast tbh
CosTaSsSs Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 I watched this in digital yesterday, 3rd time, and it's such a great movie. I love that my favorite animated now has two versions that I can enjoy!Β
Schami66 Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 I would love it, if this movie made more $ but tbh I don't really care... We have a beautiful movie, more merch than sand on a beach and got to know Halle.Β Β The Little Mermaid is THE movie of my childhood and I think nothing influenced me as a human more (it's true... It's true) and Im happy with what we got. I think this movie will earn a lot more love in the coming years.
X~MoviePoP Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Well if they didnt pull it from a million theatres im sure it woulda made it to 600 mill.Β

All of that has added an additional layer of difficulty for the cinema business. I could see the movie reaching $650M if it was released, hypothetically, in a better timing like in 2018.Β
harwee Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 Does it have enough gas to get to $600m? Β $600m would be a good number. That's a lot more than most of the incel floppies this year.

ultimatebritney Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 I was thinking that the little mermarid would have easily been 600-650 million dollars, but because some countries have bans on it.

Monsieurgedeon Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Just saw it in digital. Terrible movie. The CGI is awful, the image is really boring, Hailey is cool. The underwater scenes are just dreadful and you can tell they just added the faces on some CGI bodies + the added hair to look like they are underwater are just too noticeable. It took me off of the movie, the rest seemed just bland and boring.Β Β It's definetly a low effort to grab money, they should be happy they reached this score in the BO.Β 2 7

Aethereal Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 The CGI was really decent. I don't get the complains. One issue that I can think of is the background could've been more "waterful" in the sense of being a bit more realistically blue colored and more water-sound noises to be added and also hair movement should've been more emphasized.Β Β But it did not leave a dramatic stain in the performance of the movie at all. Β The movie had the most challenging animation of all Disney's remakes so some imperfections were likely to pop in the eyes of audience.Β Β 1
