Hey guys, let's talk The Little Mermaid numbers. (see breakdown charts below)

According to TheNumbers.com box office website

I have strong opinions on the topic.

Given the unhinged animosity that this movie faced (OMG!) and the marketing that focused on an infinite number of face-to-face interviews (same repetitive questions) with NO print or major TV appearances featuring the two stars, this movie faced an uphill battle from the start.

Extremely high budget (did it have to be so enormous!) and still received several complaints about CGI. I didn't see anything wrong but did the budget have to be so expensive (if you're not going to promo effectively and if your technical rendering is not fully on point)?

No magazine spread showcasing the lead pair to sell the romance story (Basic yet effective way to promo. No People Magazine cover, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair spread...ZERO SPREADS together---shocking!!!). The two are relative unknowns and could have benefited from better visibility.

The movie still managed to make over half a billion dollars with everything going against it.

The chemistry between Jonan and Halle and her top-notch vocals truly helped the film. Saw a lot of haters at least giving her props for her singing.

After all that's been said, some countries really embraced the movie and that is one of the positive outcomes of a very frustrating film rollout. Disney dropped the ball.
