Pretty disappointing. This summer is gonna be so sad. No big breakouts

 

We should probably wait for the holiday weekend to play out a bit before making any real judgement for Little Mermaid. Remember Aladdin's Thursday preview number something like 7.0M~ I think? Then, it almost hit 117M~ for the holiday weekend.

115M+ 4 day still on track.

The weekend thread can't get to 100 pages with thinking like that.

There is no fun in waiting. I want rage and panic and anger and people melting down over random box office numbers.

 

 

Where are my About My Father and Kandahar previews?!

One thing we can say with certainty is that compared to Jungle Book and Aladdin, TLM will gross around 150M less between Korea, China and India. Will have to make up ground in European markets to come close to 1B.

Little Mermaid leges might not be as good as Aladdin. It has far more competition.

1 billion looks impossible. International numbers look to be more more than 300m 

[interiorgatordecorator]

do we have ow racial demos for Aladdin and link king?

[Valonqar]

TLM is a family movie and they tend to really jump during the weekend. So watch out for Saturday jump and a good Sunday hold due to holiday on Monday.

So what I'm understanding is that Little Mermaid would be luck to cross 700 

[Cmasterclay]

Pretty fitting that the box office of the Little Mermaid is about whether it can grow legs.

Margaret Qualley can be my dominatrix any day. Take my money. Call me a slut. All of those things.

[Killimano3]

I mean not only is that not a bad number but isn't it kind of like... A very good number? Compared to past Disney remakes it seems like this should easily end up well over 100M for the OW
