The live-action remake of TheLittleMermaid is set to pass the lifetime haul of the original animated movie at the global boxoffice today.
During an opening weekend that was more dramatic than most movies, Disney’s The Little Mermaid ended up grossing $163.8 million worldwide, falling short of projections by around $20 million. Most of the discrepancy could be attributed to a soft global opening, which came in at around $68 million. But a couple of days after it was expected to, the big-budget live-action remake of the classic 1989 animated film has finally passed the $200 million mark at the worldwide box office.
The Little Mermaid has made $130 million domestically and another $79 million from overseas territories, for a running global haul of $209 million. The movie cost a reported $250 million to produce , which means that there is an ocean currently separating it from success. The Little Mermaid grossed $38 million domestically on opening day, setting it up for a four-day extended weekend haul of $125 million. But it ultimately ended up making $117 million across four days at the domestic box office.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A great comp heading into the weekend was Disney’s last major live-action remake, Aladdin, which delivered a virtually identical opening weekend haul during the same frame in 2019. That film legged it to over $350 million domestically and more than $1 billion worldwide, on the back of mixed reviews. Critical reception for The Little Mermaid has also been mixed, although it received an excellent A CinemaScore from opening day audiences.
Disney's Live-Action Remakes Have Been Hit-Or-Miss Directed by Disney veteran Rob Marshall , The Little Mermaid comes on the heels of over a dozen live-action remakes of classic Disney titles. The run has been inconsistent, to say the least.
Starring newcomer Halle Bailey as the titular character, the film also features Melissa McCarthy as the villainous Ursula, Jonah Hauer-King, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Javier Bardem, Jacob Tremblay, Noma Dumezweni, and Art Malik. You can watch an interview with Bailey and Hauer-King here, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
