‘The Little Mermaid’ Starring Halle Bailey Set to Make a Mighty Splash at the Box Office with HISTORIC Opening

Published: Sunday 28th May 2023 by Sam

‘The Little Mermaid,’ starring Halle Bailey as Ariel, is on track to make an almighty splash at the US box office this Memorial Day Weekend.

Full story below…

Per THR, Disney’s revival of the beloved 1989 film is swimming towards a launch of $125 million – after registering $38 million on its first day in theaters (May 26).

Should the number range hold, it will see ‘The Little Mermaid’s live-action remake arrive with the holidays’ fourth-biggest opening of all time (not adjusted for inflation).

Directed by Rob Marshall, the film – which is receiving rave reviews from critics and theater-goers alike – also stars Jonah Hauer-King, Melissa McCarthy, Daveed Diggs, and Awkwafina.

    Well, it’s a DISNEY movie after all. Let’s see how much her debut will sell.

    Spoiler: it won’t sell much

      It’s always a hater who watches Beyoncé’s every move just to talk crap that comments first. Keep watching loser

      • Flopyonce May 28, 2023

        What does my comment have to do with Flopyonce tho?

    • UHoesFunny May 28, 2023

      Hater

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED May 28, 2023

      The excellent Previews, her voice and acting is why this movie is doing so well. Not because it’s disney. And Halle will definitely sell come album time because of how much more critically acclaimed her voice is now.

      • Dc May 28, 2023

        Umm the little mermaid is a classic movie plus. It’s Disney Halle wasn’t the main sell try again she’s not even a household name

      • UHoesFunny May 28, 2023

        Btch you didn’t even see the movie. Shut up. Halley definitely was the main sell. She stole the show. People are going to see HER

    • Truth May 28, 2023

      Hatefully written from a true nobody..

      Get a job, get a life

      Nobody was successful at stopping Halles rise. Eat it

    I’m glad Halle got her some shine, but why cant we see her with a black prince too? I’m sick of all this swirl all the time.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED May 28, 2023

      This doesn’t have to be about race. Halle wasn’t casted because of race and neither were the other 3 staring roles. This is a racially ambiguous movie, even with the sisters, only 2 are black, 1 Asian, and 3 white. What matters is chemistry and ariel and prince have plenty of that.

      • Mecosta Denada May 28, 2023

        Yes she was. They wanted that black dollar, babe.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED May 28, 2023

      Im sure there were auditions for the Prince role too. Id assume that none of the black men who auditioned had the charm of the original prince eric. Highly doubt they were looking for white in particular if any actor could audition.

    • Are You Kidding Me? May 28, 2023

      I think they were going for colorblind like the Brandy Cinderella movie.

    $125 million in week one definitely puts TLM on track to gross $700M to $1B as i expected. I really hope it out does its biggest rival ALADDIN which was just OKAY and has no rewatch value at all, it gross a bit less than TLM opening week but still managed $1 Billion.

    {The irony is that racism is why these numbers aren’t higher while reverse racism would be why these numbers would probably be just as high if the mermaid was white since the black turn out would be much lower in that reality.}

    • Monica trenches & open roads ! May 28, 2023

      Shut up fattie Chloe is a flop

    • Xtina2023 May 28, 2023

      You do know it was a flop at domestic in some countries lol.

    • Xtina2023 May 28, 2023

      Also it did 118 million not 125 million try again. Its not reaching 1billion.

      • PARKWOOD May 28, 2023

        Christina Flopguilera could NEVER

  4. Dc May 28, 2023

    Only made 95 million

    • UHoesFunny May 28, 2023

      Where’s Cardi’s album? Did she sell out that arena yet? Not even a stadium show. Now she’s giving away free tickets. PATHETIC 😂

      • Shadybootz May 28, 2023

  5. ♠️it’s 50 aka Ferrari♠️ aka ww50do May 30, 2023
