For context for those of you watching out there, Little Mermaid seems to have slightly underperformed in the US, and kind of was a dud outside the US. But it made $95 mil on the weekend, excluding Monday. By comparison, the Super Mario movie made almost $146 million in the US on its opening weekend, or with Easter Monday $166 million. (With opening Wednesday, and Easter Monday, $225 million US.) 20-30% more, and there were not reports of half-full theaters on opening weekend. Plus the softened opening due to the Wednesday screenings.
I'm expecting the box office to drop like a boulder.
I would say it dramatically underperformed in the U.S. Box Office Mojo shows only 117 million domestic gross. Keep in mind that studios make less money off ticket sales outside domestic (ticket sales are roughly halved depending on the territory) and then next week you have the new Transformers and the Spider-Man animated. There's no way it'll retain #1 next week. Absolutely no way.

I assume the break even point wouldn't even be 500 million considering just how much went into marketing. I think it's a safe bet that the break even point is closer to 700 million.
This bombed hard.
I keep seeing a lot of "It's doing well, bigot!" comments on YouTube. Who am I going to believe, guys? It's so hard to choose!"THIS MOVIE SO GOOD, I FEEL LIKE I GOTTA BUST A CAP UP IN HERE!" - Chris Rock
