I think Disney really fucked up not making her red head if you notice that's what most people associated Ariel with.

Well past me was wrong about them pivoting from China. It does seem Didney, like quite a few retard Hollyweird idiots, is trying to suckle China's wallet again the instant they stopped banning their garbage given they're desperately trying to hide how she's black to them in the Chinese poster:
Keep that in mind whenever the bots or idiots try to screech racism next time. Also keep in mind this horrendous song too.

And they're barely making any money from China. How's that working out for them?
How much does anyone wanna predict that this weekend it will not even make $50 million and would drop drastically by the second weekend. I'm gonna call it.
I'm just hoping it gets pulled from theatres after the second weekend, you know like Dark Phoenix four years back.

LOL
Deadline is predicting $120 mil for the 4day weekend in the US, and I've seen 110 thrown around a lot too. Which is big but not the biggest. It has a weird international release schedule, with a lot of countries opening after the US. If word of mouth turns on this thing, it could be ugly. Or it could be huge like Aladdin, who knows. These things seem to defy logic.

Everyone was shit talking that "live action" Lion King remake and it still made over a billion dollars. I'm not holding my breath (but I'll rejoice if it flops).

The differences between this and the Lion King though are massive. The Lion King still had the appeal of animals, every character looked/was how they were supposed to be, just realistic, and the songs were largely untouched for woke points (bar the one Scar sings I think, not sure since I have not personally seen it), and also didn't feature a main actress who is not great to look at and can barely sing. I don't know if any of the other live action Disney movies have even reached the heights Lion King managed, especially lately with the flops that were Peter Pan and Pinocchio.

Also people I know personally who don't mind Disney live action remakes including Lion King seem ignored by the Ariel casting.
I mean Christ even my girlfriend whose not a culture War person was ignored when she first saw the teaser. That's saying something.

One thing that is going to hurt the box office for this thing is the damn run time: 2 hr 15 minutes. For reference, the animated 1989 version came in at 1 hr 23 minutes. You could fit three showings of the original into two showings of the "live action" (less trailers, cleanup, etc.). Also, what kids these days have the attention span of 2+ hours?

And say what you want about Illumination and nu-Disney/Pixar, but no matter the quality of these movies, they at least they understand how to manage the runtime for their respective movies for their targeted audiences. Having a 2-to-3 hour kids movie will never gonna work after 1970s.

At that point, Disney remakes will still relatively new in a sense. Now, people, even the dumber ones, are finally understanding what's going on. The Lion King's fate will really depend on that Mufasa prequel they're making.
Unless if it's too little too late and that it'll just be pulled from theatres just to debut on Disney+

I can hear the music from the break room, and it's just cacophonic. Halle's this close to straining her voice, Sebastian doesn't have an actual chorus line behind his vocals and he sounds terrible, and whatever the fuck this original song is sounds bland and the singer can barely hold it together. Do they just not screen actors for actual singing talent anymore?

They would often have different voice actors and the singers would functionally ADR that shit. I don't remember if that was the case on the Disney renaissance era movies, but certainly was the case before then.
Now they just try to find the ugliest PoC and fuck any talent, singing or otherwise.

Some infos come out about how they changed the movie.
The sisters are not vying for a singing competition its about leadership of the kingdom.
Scuttle is no longer a seagull.
They confirm in this like the broadway show that Ursula is the sister of Triton and Ariel's aunt.
Ariel's mother now was killed deliberately by a human.
Eric is an orphan who somehow became a prince.
Not only is there 1 original song added there are 3:
Power Ballad for Eric called "Wild Uncharted Waters."
Ariel get's an inner monologue song called "For the First Time" when she goes to Eric's castle.
The final is a rap song by Scuttle about Ursula's plans for the finale.
Ariel kills Ursula to save Eric instead of how it was in the original where Eric kills Ursula to save Ariel.
Instead of the end being Ariel joining into Eric's kingdom they both decide to WindWaker it and become sea nomads exploring for new adventures.
