No chance. Casting controversy which makes it DoA in asian markets, So-so reviews but doesn't have a big name actor to bring in viewers like aladdin or is a remake of one of the highest grossing films at the time of its release like the lion king, competition with fast x and across the spiderverse next week. 600-700m at the very best
>600-700m at the very best
Even that's a stretch. It's an outright bomb overseas and there's heavy competition coming quick. I bet it does Ant-man numbers
https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64093157/?ref_=nws_nwr_li >Disney’s return to live-action takes of their animated vault in the fullest theatrical form happens this weekend with Rob Marshall’s The Little Mermaid which is eyeing a $180M worldwide start.
>The majority of that number will be made stateside with $120M for the four-day Memorial Day weekend holiday, and around $100M over three days. At $120M, Little Mermaid would be the fifth highest opening in U.S./Canada for the Friday-Monday Memorial Day weekend holiday
It's over.
Yeah, that's looking DOA overseas. This isn't getting a staggered rollout internationally. The only major market where it's not opening this weekend is Japan, but if this flops in SK and China, odds are it flops there, too. Those are the largest markets for Disney remakes outside of the U.S., btw.
I'm not shocked. Black worship is an American phenomenon. To make matters worse, she's also not conventionally pretty. There's no globally known actors in the cast either like there was with Will Smith or Emma Watson.
>It's Disney kids slop
So is Elemental and that's set to be a massive Strange World level flop. Looking at all the hype Flash is getting it might do even worse since Disney are releasing it on the same day
Audience scores on RT aren't really useful anymore for recent theatrical releases. You need to buy a ticket from Fandango to be able to review it. That limits access to Burgers-only and opens it up to suffering from selection bias. The superfans are free to ballot stuff and anyone who just popped into a screen is barred from reviewing.
Limiting it to one ticket service is stupid. I'm not a burger, so automatically I'm out. I've never even used a third party service for a movie theatre. I've always grabbed the tickets from either the chain's website or at the theatre itself.
>Be Warner Bros. >own RottenTomatoes >own Fandango >only allow reviews for your movies on your website that had tickets from your other website
it's by design, Disney just happens to benefit from it too.
OP they have to make their money back and then some to be a hit.
$180 Million doesn't sound like they're making their production and other money back. >Budget: $250 million
If they hit $500 million then they can brag.
>180 million
So a new record for Memorial Day, with a two and a half hour children's movie. A record that was just set last year by Top Gun Maverick, the second highest grossing film of the year.
Source on that shit?
No it's probably getting money from shithole markets like mine although there's like 5 people on the IMAX evening screening so idk where this tracking is coming from. Presales? The theaters are empty bro
The Jungle Book almost cracked that number, too. The original Disney movie is from the '60s. Alice in Wonderland is even older and that movie did a billion. Though, that was largely driven by being the first major 3D movie post-Avatar.
That anon also seems to have forgotten how old the most popular cape shit characters are. Superman and Batman are set to go into the public domain in the next decade.
The only people watching it are Leftwingers to virtue signal how much they love corporations and hate White people. They basically organize discord raids to theaters to try and thwart the chuds
Performing worst than live action as Aladdin and Beauty & the Beast is not much of a win. Especially when its got a lot of competition in the coming weeks to compete with.
The corporations and activist Left have caught onto Rotten Tomatoes so they have to preemptively flood the system to ensure the woke slop is decent at best
Just watch every single woke remake is going to have glowing praise but it’s all basically propaganda. It’s just like that article about how FANS are LOVING the new fat moron April O Neil. Yeah more like your comrades that dominate the MSM, colleges, and social media
D-Does /misc/ really think this will flop? >Already covers 90% of its budget in 9 days >Will easily break even at 500 million within 3 weeks.
It's not making a billion obviously, but saying it will fail is ridiculous.
>Already covers 90% of its budget in 9 days >Will easily break even at 500 million within 3 weeks.
huh? the budget is 250, that means it needs to make 1billion to break even
Anon, this movie's budget is $250 million. It's going to need strong legs, but I don't see how that's likely with the competition it's going to face.
Look at how sluggish GOTG3 is doing despite having two weeks to itself, decent word-of-mouth and a far better global opening. Obviously not the same audience, but it shows that's nothing is guaranteed anymore.
My wife wanted to see this, she only changed her mind once she saw the 2.5 hour running time. Thank Christ they don't know how to make short movies anymore.
Critic scores are worthless because they won't give a negative review of anything the left would cancel them over. Audience scores are worthless because those are solely from people who paid to go see it already, the built-in audience, if you look up a religious film, a political film or a gay film they all have audience scores in the 90's because that's the flock speaking. Both Bros and God's Not Dead have high audience scores, the measure is worthless.
is it really surprising to anyone who isn't a delusional disney shill that this movie is going to flop hard overseas? as shitty as the third world is, at least they're not brainwashed into accepting ~~*the message*~~ the way you americans do and asians are downright racists, to the point of even getting scared of seeing her lel
Blackrock and Vanguard are just going to bail Disney out like they've done for the last decade, so talking about this kind of shit doesn't really matter.
"HAH the movie bombed!!" True, but these companies aren't going to learn their lesson regardless.
It's a hit, chuds. Get over it
haha, they put a people dress on her
WTF is wrong with her eyes
How are the production values for this movie so awful? Awful costume, awful cinematography, it looks absolutely low-tier and made for tv
>it looks absolutely low-tier and made for tv
That particular shot looks like a musical being filmed on a stage.
Fuckin hell that moron is ghastly.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HOLY SHIT
Prince Eric is suppose to be a chad
This gay looks like he manages a Long John Silver's
She unironically look like a deep sea fish here.
what was wrong with the original dress? why do they hate bangs? they should've hide thtat black girl's forehead
>why do they hate bangs?
bangs are white people
I’m sure girls can’t wait to cosplay as her.
Of course shes wearing shoes
my friend watched it today and she told me there is a scene that focuses on her feet. I need to watch this now.
Why do they look so oily?
She straight up looks retarded
dont care
not watching it
not watching reviews of it
2023's going to go down as a year where a fucking Super Mario movie is the highest grossing film
wasn't 2019 or 2020 the Sonic movie?
>Worldwide
That's shit
180 MIL WORLD WIDE
and it's 4 day instead of 3 day
So no. That's actually an awful number.
Grace still thinks this will make a billion

The rest of the world really hates black people huh?

No way it can do less than Guardians 3 opening weekend. It's Disney kids slop. They always do well.
>Lightyear
>Stramge World
>any other Disney colossal flop
>It's Disney kids slop
So is Elemental and that's set to be a massive Strange World level flop. Looking at all the hype Flash is getting it might do even worse since Disney are releasing it on the same day
Majority of tickets are bought by Disney. Just like they did with Captain Marvel.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS LMAO CHUDS SEETHING
Imagine biting that thing
god it's enough to make me want to throw up
>MY COMPANY THAT KOWTOWS TO CHINA AND HATES ORIGINALITY MADE MONEY ARE YOU CHUDS MAD
>prediction
It was "tracking" US$115 mil and could make less than that
Ironically if they made it a blaxpoitation style where every mermaid was black, shucking and jiving, i would watch it
>de liddle merfolk
MAKE IT HAPPEN
DA SCUTTLEBUTT
No fk way it's 80% audience
Nah it makes sense
Nobody who wanted this saw the film
That's not great for modern RT. That site is pretty much useless for audience scores now
Audience scores on RT aren't really useful anymore for recent theatrical releases. You need to buy a ticket from Fandango to be able to review it. That limits access to Burgers-only and opens it up to suffering from selection bias. The superfans are free to ballot stuff and anyone who just popped into a screen is barred from reviewing.
What a tragedy that you have to actually watch the thing you are reviewing.
Limiting it to one ticket service is stupid. I'm not a burger, so automatically I'm out. I've never even used a third party service for a movie theatre. I've always grabbed the tickets from either the chain's website or at the theatre itself.
>Be Warner Bros.

>only allow reviews for your movies on your website that had tickets from your other website
it's by design, Disney just happens to benefit from it too.
Who is this "we", I wont lose if this bullshit flops or earns a billion dollars.
>Remember the SQUAWK
>Remember the SQUAWK SQUAWK
>60m overseas in 4 days
Lol. Reminder this is confirmed having a $200m production budget and $100m marketing
>D-Did we lose...?
Nah, it'll drop off quickly. 80% decline by next week for sure.
A lot of theaters near me have not sold a single seat on Friday in 3 showings
A lot of theaters near me are sold out.
Show proof, you won’t
Looks like a full house to me.
They gray out the sold seats. Look at all of them sold for opening day!!!
Do people actually watch movies in imax?
I watched top gun in IMAX
it was kino
DUNC needs to be watched in IMAX
I watched Batman in Dolby
That’s the only IMAX show on opening day that has sold the most. I bet they regret moving Fast X out of it.
Looks like Disney didn’t buy out the theaters this time like Captain Marvel.
I don't think anybody said it wasn't going to make money. It was assumed it was going to do that, the live action movies always do.
Now this is the cope that I expected. This board was saying it was going to bomb up until now when there is genuine interest in the movie.
yes yes, /misc/ is one person, fuck off.
This is worldwide anon. That's a bad opening
Heh I'm not even going to watch the little mermaid
-grown man
OP they have to make their money back and then some to be a hit.
$180 Million doesn't sound like they're making their production and other money back.
>Budget: $250 million
If they hit $500 million then they can brag.
$100M domestic over three day weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE
THIS IS THE MOST SUCCESFUL MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
>180 million
So a new record for Memorial Day, with a two and a half hour children's movie. A record that was just set last year by Top Gun Maverick, the second highest grossing film of the year.
Source on that shit?
It's worldwide
ah, that would make more sense.
Do europoors even care about this movie. It's so Americanized that I don't particularly see them interested in it.
No it's probably getting money from shithole markets like mine although there's like 5 people on the IMAX evening screening so idk where this tracking is coming from. Presales? The theaters are empty bro
China said it only had $13,000 USD from pre sales there.
POST THOSE UNSOLD THEATRE SEATINGS!!!!
LMAO this is the matinee screening
chuds BTFO mermaid confirmed a success
>why isn't our live action remake of a 30 year old disney movie not making Superhero money? Its a flop its a flop its a flop!!!!!
Lion King and Beauty and The Beast made over a billion.
Even if they gave the movie an actual fag, the main girl on the poster was still Emma Watson instead of some nig nog they picked off the street.
The Jungle Book almost cracked that number, too. The original Disney movie is from the '60s. Alice in Wonderland is even older and that movie did a billion. Though, that was largely driven by being the first major 3D movie post-Avatar.
That anon also seems to have forgotten how old the most popular cape shit characters are. Superman and Batman are set to go into the public domain in the next decade.

That's a copyright minefield

Of coarse the chud sees through this
Performing worst than live action as Aladdin and Beauty & the Beast is not much of a win. Especially when its got a lot of competition in the coming weeks to compete with.
You cannot compare box offices to pre-pandemic numbers. They will never be the same again.
Avatar disproved this especially when no one gives a shit about covid anymore
unless it's mario or top gun or avatar 2 or...
Or spiderman.

Prop-o-ganda
Scuttlebutt!
180 million is massive. No film this year could match that if true.
You dumb stupid gay
D-Does /misc/ really think this will flop?
>Already covers 90% of its budget in 9 days
>Will easily break even at 500 million within 3 weeks.
It's not making a billion obviously, but saying it will fail is ridiculous.
Spiderverse is releasing next week eating 52% of its target audience. Then the flash lol
>The Flash.
Are we still pretending the Flash is going to flop? Open your eyes anon
Yes? What confused you that the Flash is particularly popular?
>Already covers 90% of its budget in 9 days
>Will easily break even at 500 million within 3 weeks.
huh? the budget is 250, that means it needs to make 1billion to break even

chuddies are malding rn
Reminder: with the budget reported by Variety today, this movie needs to make at least $700 million to break even
Here is the fancy theatre in Hong Kong. No one is excited for the movie.
You bros get vibrators?
wtf are vibrating love seats
Massage chairs
how are they different from the regular vibrating seats?
There's no arm rest between the chairs. That's it.
Lol nothing but gfs dragging their men
My wife wanted to see this, she only changed her mind once she saw the 2.5 hour running time. Thank Christ they don't know how to make short movies anymore.
Kids on vibrating love seats?
That’s like $18M in last year’s money
>Prediction.
We'll see.

4chan always loses.
is it really surprising to anyone who isn't a delusional disney shill that this movie is going to flop hard overseas? as shitty as the third world is, at least they're not brainwashed into accepting ~~*the message*~~ the way you americans do and asians are downright racists, to the point of even getting scared of seeing her lel
Aladdin did well, so Asia isn't as racist as America is making them out to be.
Do you really not understand the difference?
the cast of aladdin was way better looking so much easier to sell, halle bailey is just too ugly
Agreed. Jasmine was hot and looked like Jasmine.
>have an actual brown character
>cast someone 5 shades lighter
weird honestly
They bronzed her up for the movie. She looked the same skin color.
>180 million weekend prediction
There is absolutely no chanc...
>WW prediction
Oh. That's pretty terrible.
Blackrock and Vanguard are just going to bail Disney out like they've done for the last decade, so talking about this kind of shit doesn't really matter.
"HAH the movie bombed!!" True, but these companies aren't going to learn their lesson regardless.
>muh esg boogeyman
Not him, but ESG scores are a very real thing can be looked up and verified.
They are as, if not more, irrelevant as rotting tomato.
You should tell that to these companies that push this kind of stuff regardless of the damage to the brand then. Must be some incentives.
>retard who doesn't know how investment or profit works
Mariochuds...Wasn't the audience score always right?
I hope so. Never live it down won't begin to describe the unyielding reign of laughter that will ensue once I realize this was a hit.
