The Little Mermaid's Box Office Letdown Looks Even Worse Compared To 1 Other Disney Remake

https://screenrant.com/the-little-mermaid-box-office-lion-king-domestic-comparison/

"If The Little Mermaid remains in its projected scope of achieving around $525 million in total, then the movie will fail to break even and be considered a box office disappointment for Disney."

IT'S A WILD SUCCESS, EVERYONE!!!  IT'S GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER 250-300 MILLION IN PROFIT!!!! 

I don't know if you all also know this, but I have it on good word from posters in here that movie studios get ALL 100% of the worldwide box office.  Movie theatres and foreign governments show the movies out of the kindness of their hearts.

No movie is going to "confirm the exact budget...that's why everyone speaks of them as estimated" Yet it is definite to you it was 140 million. Get a clue dude.

Also, please find where I said Disney is going to get ALL 472 million of the profits. Also find where I said they were going to get 472 million in profits.

I didn't get curb stomped. Adding things to what I said to declare victory and then getting pats on the back from the Mount Rushmore of ignorance here doesn't constitute a curb stomping.

Cultist obsession with the little mermaid is legit creepy AF.  Why do you care so much about this stupid move but don't GAF about Fast X, the Flash, Shazam, etc failing quite bigly?  Mermaid will actually break even but you tards are so invested in it failing that you can't get your heads out of your asses to see that.  WGAF whether a movie makes money?  Movies have made and lost money since movies became a thing. 

Cultist are legit the dregs of society.

"reported", "estimated".....look it's not my fault you don't know what those words mean.

Additionally- AND AS I SAID BEFORE- even if you take those numbers as exact you also need to then factor in all the licensing deals and stuff they signed which helps offset the cost of the marketing spend to some degree. And- AS I SAID BEFORE- those numbers are anywhere between 40-80 million dollars reportedly. So taking the low number as the official one, and taking the "reported" number as official that would put you at about 100 million net on the marketing spend so a cost of 350 million all told. The movie is now at 501 million worldwide so that gets them to 151 million in profit (that of course gets split among people- again please find where I said otherwise) which gives them an outside chance at the 200-250 million in profit I predicted.

Here's what's funny to me at this point in this Little Mermaid discussion.

It's pretty close to a point where it won't be looked at as a miss or hit and just a movie that existed in 2023.

Well, it might just be a bad movie. Regardless of the attempt to inject social dogma. And maybe people are not interested in a reboot of the same story, but want something new. Who knows.

I think the movie business is a tough one, I think most movies are losers, and its when they hit it right they get that huge payday that allows them to speculate on more risky ones.

Regardless, I care nothing about Disney as I no longer invest in them, so for me its sort of a nothing burger at this stage.

It's a combination of things. People are going to inevitably compare Little Mermaid to something like Lion King which made a crapload of money but ignore a few other factors like:

- Lion King seems to be a movie far more nostalgic to people than Little Mermaid.

- The COVID pandemic changed the way people consumed movies considering they know if they want to see it they can just wait like 2-3 months and it will be on Disney+

- There was grumbling about the racial nature of casting Berry in the lead role.

As to the movie business on the whole- you are pretty much right. A company like Disney makes the big movies so they can (hopefully) fund smaller ones.

You really don't have any idea how this works, do you?  You guestimated these "licensing deals" yourself and are absolutely guessing at how much they'll make on them and absolutely guessing that they've already made $100 million in profits.  You don't even know if they have any "licensing deals" at all or, even if they do, what they are. 

So for all your lambasting me for "reporting" and "estimating", at least I have legit sources to back me up.  You're only "guessing" at things -which means you're making them up out of thin air to advance your agenda.  GTFO with that weak-@ss shite.

And $501 million doesn't even get them at the break even point.  2.5x production budget ($250 million) gets them just at the "break-even" point - that's $625 million dollars, jack@ss.

Keep flayling, though.  Curb-stomping you has become my 2nd profession.

A few pages ago I posted all the licensing deals they created. I also said I saw numbers as low as 40 million and as high as 80 million. I'm taking the lower number to be fair. 

I'm not guessing. You aren't reading. 

Also, there is this from MovieWeb: 

Quote

With a $250 million production cost and a reported $140 million marketing cost, The Little Mermaid, under the most generous of projections, needs to gross approximately $560 million at the worldwide box office, according to Hollywood insiders, to reach its break-even threshold.

 

So your numbers are inaccurate. I'm glad making up BS and spouting inaccurate things constitutes a "curb stomping" to you and the gaggle of idiots. In the real world though- it doesn't hold up.

Also- once again you dope- 250 reported budget....reported 140 in marketing (a number I've granted you despite it not being reported as fact) is 390. Take away at the least 40 million in the licensing deals and you have 350.

The movie has made 501 million worldwide. I said 200-250 million on the movie meaning the number above the addition of the production budget + marketing. They are at 151 million right now. 200 has an outside chance.

As I also said to RLLD- the movie will not be looked at as a major bust or hit. it will just be a movie that existed.

Simple facts are the budget and marketing cost is around 350 million. The movie has made 503 million worldwide box office so far which is 153 million over the budget and stuff. What I said back on June 22nd was:

Quote

"it will probably finish somewhere making between like 200-250 million."

It has an outside chance to get to the 200 million number even though I'd bet it doesn't hit that at this point.

I never said "Disney keeps all the profits." You derpy derped that into the conversation. In fact, I never said "profit". You added that as well. If I had to lie and misrepresent things as much as you I'd stay out of conversations.

Again, your logic makes no sense.  Not only are you making a ridiculous and absurd assumption that it "will make 200-250 million" in profit, you're not even accounting for the middlemen of movie theatres and governments.  You literally think Disney is going to get all 503 million.  Also of note:  The movie is on it's last legs in the theatres and is about to end it's run but somehow you think it's going to find another 60 million with your imaginary $560 million guestimate?  Also the production budget was 250 + 140.  That 390, not 350.  Your "licensing" deals are made up out of thin air.  If it can't even break even at $625, how is it going to find another "200-250 million" dollars?

Once again on the licensing deals:

Quote

 

–McDonald’s launched a Happy Meal program supported by an “under the sea fun” themed drive-thru.

–HSN and Disney teamed up with Regal to launch the first shoppable augmented reality experience of its kind for a collectible ticket, supported by a two-hour special.

–Mattel broke new ground with its manufacturing to create doll hair that depicts Ariel’s. The item was so hot, that the social presale drop sold out within 24 hours and was ranked No. 1 best seller in dolls across various retailers. In addition, they’ve created eight dolls to support the launch of the Mom Influencer Campaign focused on Black mothers, and launched a first-time global partnership to develop a custom TV spot.

–BOOKING.COM designed a bespoke listing for the Ultimate Little Mermaid Getaway that brought the ocean’s aesthetic to a home on land.

–ULTA partnered with two beauty brands, including Black Girl Sunscreen and Pacifica, for the first time ever and created a licensed collection of beauty products inspired by the film. Separately, Gelish created 36 film-inspired nail colors with 250k+ bottles available globally and a custom spot featured at Times Square.

–Kellogg’s made a splash at nearly 4K Walmart Stores with exclusive packs of Mermazing Berry, inspired by the film, as well as adding on-pack movie ticket offers to fan favorite cereals.

–Annie’s created a limited-edition line of snacks and pasta products featuring Ariel on-pack and a movie ticket offer on 4.1M+ packs.

–Pandora developed a custom The Little Mermaid collection with a global ad campaign over 80 markets.

–Carol’s Daughter – the first hair care brand to be on exhibit in the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture- developed a limited-edition line of products accompanied by a campaign called Let Your Curls Sing with activations at mass and boutique retail, including a Movie Ticket Offer and influencer support.

The campaign for Little Mermaid fired off at D23 last year with Marshall and star Halle Bailey onstage, showing attendees a first look of “Part of Your World” and debuting the teaser trailer.

There was a big music integration that was key to the campaign, spread across theaters, music streamers, Amazon and influencers. There were digital and deluxe versions of the soundtrack in CD and vinyl. Additionally, Target will play custom content with talent and film footage in 1,800+ locations. Spotify had an exclusive playlist takeover; a Disney Hub Placement, TV & Movies Hub placement, and in-app card modal was launched. The film also took over SiriusXM’s Disney Hits channel. In addition, several social media influencers have been singing classic songs from the film.

 

The number for the licensing deals was estimated between 40 and 80 million. I'm not making that up- it's out there. Maybe if they said a "reported" number you'd slurp it up.

The licensing deals offset some of the marketing spend. So the number isn't exactly 390 (and I'm glad you were able to dust off your calculator to finally do the correct math) it's lower. 

But please keep making up stuff I said to try and win. It's sad at this point man. I'm sorry you need to win so much you have to lie.

The young actress who played the part seems personable enough.  Seems to have some star quality.  its a shame they miscast her. Disney, instead of rehasing a established story and character might have worked on another vehicle for her. It could even have been an expansion on the franchise, a prequel, a sequel, or a parallel story.  No, instead they showed zero imagination, only changing a trait of the main character.  They should have made Simba a leopard in the Lion King.  It would have been equivilent to this.  Just stupid and a lack of creativity.  Disney was founded on imagination.  Now it is about corporate think.   Disney is dead. Zombie corporate Disney has risen.

“You hear people fussing about, ‘Oh, Black Little Mermaid.’ Mermaids aren’t real. They can be black, they can be green, they can get orange. They’re not real things. But representing it and giving people a fantasy life or something that takes them away from the reality of the crap that we have to deal with day in, day out of, you know, mass shootings, robberies, homelessness, all these other things, we still need an outlet.”

 

[Voltaire 5,182]

They keep making films nobody wants to watch, then blame their audience for not showing to watch what they made. Along the way they are destroying every film franchise they inherited from predecessors who know what the fock they were doing, in an era before the company got hijacked.

The young actress who played the part seems personable enough.  Seems to have some star quality.  its a shame they miscast her. Disney, instead of rehasing a established story and character might have worked on another vehicle for her.  it could even have been an expansion on the franchise, a prequel, a sequel, or a prallel styory.  No, instead they showed zero imagination, only changing a trait of the main character.  They should have made Simba a leopard in the Lion King.  It would have been equivilent to this.  Just stupid and a lack of creativity.  Disney was founded on imagination.  Now it is about corporate think.   Disney is dead. Zombie corporate Disney has risen.

A leopard and a lion are different species.  Black and white are not.

Also I haven't seen the movie but Im sure there are differences between this and the original animated than the skin color of the mermaid.

Stop with the 'nobody wants to watch", it's the 5th highest gross in the US so far this year.  You're completely biased and ignore facts to confirm your bias.

Indiana Jones to the rescue! 

I'll have to see this either way, the childhood feels of the intro music alone is enough for me. I hope they don't fock it up too bad. The last one was a travesty.

Of course, they were never going to be able to recapture the gloriousness of The Last Crusade, just an all-time for me.

What franchises have they "destroyed" moron?

They've had a bad run the last year or two and idiots declare them dead.  When they're the biggest movie studio box office wise by a freaking mile.

Morons in this world...SMH

Pointing out the obvious while missing the point.  Well done.

As i understand it some other minor nods to woke political correctness, but essentially a movie lacking any imagination.  A retread.  its all fine with me.  If there is an audience for this that causes me no angst.  i await their next project, a live action Frozen where Elza and Anna are played by asian trannies.  it will not be faithful to the source amterial, but it will engage the current conversation.  Of course that would never happen as Disney would never insult the chinese so, allowing them editorial control in all matters.

There's truth in this. I haven't had time to figure out why their movies are all bombing. I just notice they do.

If I did have time to spend on focking Disney, I'd be more inclined to spend it on sites laughing at them for bombing rather than Disney-approved sites making excuses for why their movies never make any money. I probably know why, a continuation of trends, parents realizing how much the company has changed since they were kids, but my info is old.

Anyway, this thread is about as much effort as I can put in. 

Keep failing, Disney.

Wait... Did you just say "estimated"?

Isn't that what you're accusing everyone of doing? Get the f*** out of here.

You need to stay down for your own good. Every time you post it just gets worse and worse for you.

 

And because it is "estimated" is why I took the lower number and at first even said take the number out.

I said this already in the thread. The problem appears to be you are both a liar and incapable of reading comprehension. 

Also, answer the questions I asked or GTFO
