Finally, "The Little Mermaid", who is now black... Is in theaters!

How about answering my question, Mr. Evader?

One does not answer by trying to flip something in the way you want then demand an answer.

Are you even aware that over 300,000 whites were shipped to North America as slaves? And in Africa they captured over 1 million whites and put them in slavery.

And of course most of the slaves from Africa were sold by their own leaders, or captured in wars. And there are more slaves in Africa today than the rest of the world combined.

But you all are obsessing about a fictional book written almost 50 years ago. That literally has nothing to do with the topic, which you all can't address so you all spin it into anything other than the fact that Disney movies and shows have been failing for years.

You suck at gaslighting.

Which I am not doing, you are the one evading answering and trying to spin things instead.

You made a statement, I question it, and your response was to ask another question.

You are the one asking repeated questions to avoid answering, not myself.

Have a nice day.

Link please to the Super Mario brothers movie making more than 164 million dollars this weekend.

Thanks
That’s not what the meme stated.

What is the #1 movie right now 2023?


Domestic Box Office For 2023

OK, is it $95 or $164 million?

It can't be both. And even if you add today, that is $22 million or $117 million total this holiday weekend.


You know, some of us can actually do math and do not have to remove our shoes to do it.

But here, let me answer this for you as you are just picking things you like. The $68 million that is actually added to the $95 million is overseas box office results. That means in the rest of the world combined, it only made $68 million. And that is well under expectations of over $100 million both overseas and domestic.

In other words, it is underperforming. Especially as that is only box office receipts. The actual take from overseas distribution is lower than that of the US, which is why that is never figured into the numbers.

To put that in perspective, Avengers: End Game took in over $375 million just in the US on the opening weekend. Beauty and the Beast (2017) took in $174 million just in the US on opening weekend. Jurassic World had a one day take in the US of over $63 million.

When looking at all first weekend figures, this movie comes in at 78th place, just behind Joker. But still a loser, as that movie cost less than half as much to produce (70 million). Yet that grossed over $1 billion in the box office.


Little Mermaid is still on track to just break even, maybe.
 

Woke ‘Little Mermaid’ Reboot Completely Bombs in Reviews, IMBD Blames Online Trolls, Manipulates Votes to Give Higher Audience Score!​


:dunno:



Of more interest is RT, which actually takes reviews form real reviewers.

Instead, the critic score is just 67% as of this writing, while audiences are giving it a whopping 95%—significantly higher than The Jungle Book’s 86%. That film scored a 94% with critics.

The fact is, each of the live action remakes since Beauty and the Beast have been getting successively lower and lower scores. Primarily because of viewer fatigue of seeing "yet another live action remake".

But that is still better than The Lion King, which only got a dismal 57% on RT.
 
Suck on it racist.

It has not made $164 million, it made $95 million. Nobody when talking about box office scores uses anything other than the domestic take.

And there is a damned good reason why. For Domestic receipts the studio gets around 60% of the take. Overseas however, they only get around 20%.

So to break it down, once the theaters have taken their cut, the House of Mouse will make around $57 domestically, and $14 million overseas. For a grand total of....

$71 million.

That is still a hell of a long ways away from the $550 million they need to get just to break even.

So suck on facts.

So tell us what the number one movie in the world is right now.

Which means little.

It still ranks in at number 78 among box office openings.

But hey, at least it did better than the last time they shoveled a remake into theaters instead of shoveling it to D+.

For those that forgot, Mulan made just over $33 million on it's Labor Day opening. That does not even rank it among the top 200 opening weekends.

To be honest, the simple fact is that Disney has long ago burned out the audience on their "live action remakes", and it really does not matter what the movie is. They knew Peter Pan and Pinocchio were bad, so they went straight to D+ (the modern equivalent to straight to video). Their last live action remake (Cruella - 2021) actually lost money. The one before that (Mulan - 2020) lost a butt load of money (making $70 million on a budget of over $200 million). In reality, you have to go all the way back to 2019 to find a remake that was not shoveled to D+ and did not lose money.

To me, it has not a damned thing to do with anything other than people are simply sick of these endless remakes and absolutely no new content being created by them.

And it's no better on their animated side. Strange World tanked ($72 million on a $180 million budget). Encanto recouped production budget, but still barely broke even when the marketing budget is added in. Raya lost money, in fact the last really successful movie the House of Mouse produced under its flagship banner is Frozen II in 2019. Their last that was not a sequel that made a decent amount of money was Moana way back in 2016.

I am still predicting it will tank, and have not a damned thing to do with the casting. The movie is not that good, and yet another remake of yet another movie they did over 30 years ago. People are simply sick to death of these endless live action remakes and they have not produced anything new of worth in almost a decade. Just like the 3D remakes of a decade ago, they could only milk that cow for so long, and it has come up dry.

But get ready, because there is a hell of a lot more regurgitated garbage on the way. Next year is live action Snow White. And the same year will see a live action prequel to The Lion King as well as a live action remake of Lilo and Stitch. Then in 2025, live action Moana.

And after that with no release dates yet, live action Hercules, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Sword and the Stone, a Cruella sequel, an Aladdin sequel, Bambi, Robin Hood, and The Aristocats.

And I am predicting right now, almost all of those will likely tank if they make it into theaters. Just as the last series of remakes have tanked.

Yea it's no good, but it's the number one movie in the world TODAY.
