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.

lel, Rotten Tomatoes is bought and sold by the Rat at this point.
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! :story:
 
So apparently this just came from the Disneyland's Little Princess Boutique. A degenerate in drag is allowed near children & is very enthusiastic to help the little girl "change her clothes".

All this, while you have to pay 250$-450$ for Chinese shit that itches & probably will tear apart if the girl does anything but stand still wearing it. Hell, knowing modern Disney, it's not even made for the girls, probably for grooming the boys into it being normal.

I haven't checked into it at all but I heard somebody on radio talking entertainment news that Disney is selling the Queen music library for a Billion to... I think they said UMG?
But yeah if that's the case that might be the start of selling off assets for the Mouse

edit- apparently it's legit
And of course, UMG is Universal Music Group, owned by Comcast Universal. And who else owns Hulu? Comcast Universal.

I wonder if they'll try to shed some of the Fox assets now...
 
Holy fucking hell $250 for a DRESS FOR A FUCKING DRESS a pattern and sewing lessons would be less money.
"Hey can't teach girls to actually make and mend their own clothes. That's regressive and outdated do you want us to live in the handmaids tale bigot?"


Unless of course said girl is a Chinese orphan making worthless money at a cut salary to pay for her "company housing and provisions. " aka sleeping quarters that make dachau look like the four seasons

Fucking skylock scammers at Disney. Why would I pay $250 to $450 for a dress like that? What kind of fucking shit is this?

How long can Disney go making these box office failures and poor decisions before they go under? Are they really too big to fail?

Given the average wage in Murica i'm still shocked people can afford to put that kind of money out for essentially junk.

Crossposting from the lil' mermaid thread:

By the way, with this movie, the last 6 live action disney remakes have all flopped.

Mulan made 70mil on a 200mil budget.

Cruella made 230mil on a 100-200 mil budget, No idea how there's so much variability in its budget, but keep in mind these movies need to make x2 their budget to pay for marketing and distribution costs, even if the budget was 100 mil, that means it barely broke even)

Peter Pan, Pinocchio and Lady and the Tramp made 0 money because disney was too embarrassed to release them to cinemas so they were just a money black hole.

Lady and tramp costed a "modest" 60 mil, Pinnochio costed 150 mil, and nobody knows how much peter pan was.

And now the little mermaid, the film that SHOULD have cracked a billion even excluding the fact that china adores mermaids, made 220 on a 250 mil budget.

Honestly, the most hillarious part of all this is that dreamworks witnessed disney live action remakes bleeding money despite disney's colossal cult like brand loyalty, and decided "Gotta get me sum'o'dat" by making a live action remake of httyd with a black astrid.

The people in charge of these decisions are paid millions to lose millions while you work a 9-5 for a pittance. Pol pot was right.

In the animation department:

Strange world: Budget 135-180 mil | Box office 73 mil.

Lightyear: Budget 200 mil | Box office 226.4 Mil (They actually said this one ended up losing the studio about 100 mil after box office, so yeah this confirms that breaking even isn't enough, you need at LEAST 50% more than the budget to even BEGIN to break even)

Turning red: Budget 175 mil | Box office 20mil (lmao)

Also I love the turning red case, because its the perfect example that covid doesn't mean shit.

People will use the excuse "Turning red made no money because it got released for 1 week then got on disney+ due to covid."

Which is valid if you aren't aware of a little title called luca. You see luca was also only on theaters for 1 week due to covid then released on disney+. The catch?

Luca was shown only on international markets without d+, whereas turning red was shown on internatonal markets without d+, the US and the UK. The result?

It made 50 million back. Which while also modest, is also literally MORE THAN DOUBLE what turning red made WHILE being released in less theaters. So yes, writing quality DOES matter. Its not just covid. Two movies released in covid for 1 week (with turning red getting to more theaters), one dogshit, one actually good, had a difference of literally more than double in box office.

Anyway hopefully you get the point by now, out of the last 15 or so disney+pixar movies none have actually turned a profit, partly because of covid, partly because disney is hellbent on shooting itself in the knee with disney plus, but mostly because the writing is shit. (As demonstrated by turning red and luca).
 
No idea how there's so much variability in its budget
It is likely so they can hide or mask the loss of money, I'll give you an "example" (I really regret not taking any screenshots so you're gonna have to just take my word for this hence the quotations), before Shang-Chi came out, Wikipedia listed the budget as being $250 Million, once the film came out the budget was changed to 200-250 Million, then once it was clear the movie wouldn't even reach 500 million at the box office, the budget was removed for a couple of days, right now it is listed as $150 - 200 Million, and it is likely so they can say "The movie costed 150 Million, and made 432 Million, therefore it made more than doulbe its budget suck it bigot"
 
I don't get why Disney is spending that fucking money on these movies.
Is there nobody at Disney who see the lack of return of profit from these movies?
I was also shocked that the shitty Peter Pan and Wendy movie ( I have not seen it and I won't) was directed by David Lowery, the same guy who made the excellent The Green Knight . I know that he wrote the screenplay for it, but he is not the one I would pick to make a Peter Pan movie.

According to some network executives that commented on the issue say that money the remakes make is almost irrelevant. What is more import to disney is to do something big enough with those older IPs that keeps them legally specking alive and attached to the disney brand. Mickey and friends might be go public domain and be free to use but Disney can still sue you with trying fool public with brand confusion. That only works if there is an argument for the majority of the public connecting something to brand at this moment in time.

He also directed the actually-pretty-good Pete's Dragon remake from 2016. The modern Rat is a black hole of talent.

I ask again: IF THAT'S THE CASE, WHY NOT JUST KEEP RE-RELEASING THE ORIGINALS IN THEATERS INSTEAD OF WASTING ALL OF THIS MONEY ON REMAKES THAT EVERYONE HATES?! Oh yeah, because people are retards who'll go to see them anyway, even just to hate-watch to get JewTube clicks. *sigh*
 
Was watching the Critical Drinker's review of The Lil' Mermaid (I wouldn't normally have seen any part of this new Disney shit) and I was amazed at the low-energy involved.

The scene when the bitch is supposed to jump up on the rock was so poorly staged and executed it was beneath embarrassing. I'm not sure if it was a practical element or CGI, but holy shit it was bad. If practical, it looked like they got the weakest, spindliest member of the crew to pull her up onto the rock who struggled doing so and they just kept it in.

They didn't even include in the wave lol.
 
start a war between trannies and niggers?
>implying the war between them hasn't been ongoing and only doesn't get much attention because the MSM deliberately ignores it
Surprising as it may be to believe, niggers HATE faggots of all kinds. The majority of troon "genocides" are because they decieved Tyrone into thinking they were flesh-and-blood women, and when they got him home and sprung the girl-dick on him, Tyrone got so pissed at being jived he bust a cap in their ass.

Except for Eddie Murphy, I hear he likes it up the ass.
