Another Woke Disney Flop — ‘Little Mermaid’ on Track to Lose Millions

Breitbart Reports: Wait, wait, wait…the Little Mermaid is a domestic hit and an overseas flop? So are you telling me the Little Mermaid with the black mermaid is doing fine in America? Well, that is just more proof of how America is the least racist country on earth.


The (woke) Wrap sees the same box office troubles ahead:

This weekend, “The Little Mermaid” secured a successful domestic launch with a $118.6 million four-day opening, among the top five highest for Memorial Day weekend, while earning strong word of mouth from an audience driven by Black moviegoers.
But overseas, the film grossed just $68 million… With a $250 million budget, the film may not have the overseas legs to turn a theatrical profit, let alone reach the $1 billion mark hit by past remakes of Disney Renaissance films like “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin.”

According to Deadline, between the production and promotion costs, the perverts at Disney dropped $390 million into this white elephant. My math says it will have to gross something close to $800 million worldwide just to break even. Movie theaters take about half of every ticket sold. Half of $800 million is $400 million.


If the movie grosses just $600 million worldwide, that is a $200 million loss, and that kind of domestic gross is still a big “if.” Over its opening weekend, the remake came in below expectations. So the idea it could gross $300 to $350 million domestically seems, well, optimistic.
