TheLittleMermaid sails past a significant new milestone at the global box office.
Is The Little Mermaid a hit, or not? The answer changes with each new layer of context that you bring to the table. On the face of it, the fact that Disney’s live-action remake of the classic 1989 animated film has now passed the $400 million mark globally is worth celebrating. But when you consider that more than half of that has come from domestic theaters, the achievement loses some of its value.
The rule of thumb is that a movie of this size needs to gross twice its budget in theaters to break even, which means that The Little Mermaid, after two full weeks of release, is still in the red. And it’s currently pacing to conclude its global run with around $500 million, which would barely put it in the clear. The Little Mermaid added an estimated $22 million from domestic theaters this weekend, taking its running total to $228 million.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It opened to mixed reviews last month, and is currently sitting at a “fresh” 68% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. But it earned a solid A CinemaScore from opening day audiences, and Collider’s own Ross Bonaime wrote that it is "one of the rare live-action remakes that manages to capture” the magic of the original.
How Does the Movie Stack Up Against Other Disney Live-Action Remakes? The film’s $413 million worldwide haul puts it ahead of fellow Disney live-action remakes such as Dumbo , Alice Through the Looking Glass , Cruella , and The Sorcerer's Apprentice . Next up, it will target the lifetime global haul of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil , but that’s about it.
The Little Mermaid also stars Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Jonah Hauer-King, Noma Dumezweni, Daveed Diggs, Javier Bardem, Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay, and Art Malik. You can watch our interview with Marshall here, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
