Aladdin 2019 star Mena Massoud speculates on the box office prospects of The Little Mermaid 2023, landing him in hot water on social media.
Aladdin star Mena Massoud's comments on the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid have landed him in hot water. Massoud played the titular thief-turned-prince in the 2019 remake of Aladdin, which was directed by Guy Ritchie. The film went on to gross over $1 billion worldwide, becoming the third highest-grossing live-action Disney remake behind Beauty and the Beast 2017 and The Lion King 2019.
Today on Twitter, Massoud commented on a user's post that speculated whether The Little Mermaid 2023 could reach $1 billion at the box office after it was projected to open slightly higher than Aladdin's opening weekend. Massoud guessed that the film won't "cross the billion mark but will undoubtedly get a sequel" because it won't be rewatched by fans to the same degree that Aladdin was.
However, The Little Mermaid's box office looks strong. Its current early opening weekend projections see the film landing at around $115 million, which would outgross the original film's entire domestic run in just three days. Screen Rant's analysis of May 2023's Most Anticipated titles also assessed that The Little Mermaid was second behind only Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
That analysis could spell good things for The Little Mermaid, which will have to compete with the following weekend's release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to the 2018 smash hit. However, Aladdin faced a similar challenge as it was followed by Godzilla: King of the Monsters in late May 2019.
