Huh, I thought it had made much more than this based on the way some of these articles were written.

The film’s $413 million worldwide haul puts it ahead of fellow Disney live-action remakes (and their sequels) such as Dumbo ($353 million), Alice Through the Looking Glass ($299 million), Cruella ($229 million), and The Sorcerer's Apprentice ($215 million). Next up, it will target the lifetime global haul of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil ($491 million), but that’s about it. Even Cinderella’s $543 million global haul seems out of reach at this point, and there's an ocean separating it from the highest-grossing Disney live-action remakes -- Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King, each of which made over $1 billion worldwide.

they arent accounting for the 400 million dollar production and marketing budget of Little Mermaid. if they had done the whole thing for 100 million, yeah its a decent success. Super Mario was made for 100 million and has 1.3 billion and still going.

okay, here's one of their new songs. It's quite possibly the worst disney song they have ever produced. Someone in burbank with the ink still drying on their MBA thought it would be a good idea to include this. What the fuck is this anyways.

Sounds like Awkwafina probably had writing credits on the song.

Indiana Jones is going to be a massive flop too. Rumors are 450-500 million spent on movie and marketing.

I saw a video today that said it needs to make about 800m to break even.

that they know of. this film was in production and reshoots for years. thats crazy expensive. i bet it needs at least 900m-1billion to even get their money back. its not going to break 600 million.

Yeah makes sense, good for Super Mario. Its a fun universe for them to just do whatever in, they could have done that with TLM and fleshed out an entire underwater kingdom, other merpeople, whatever.

Indy 5 was like the second most expensive film after the Flash.

I remember when it used to be a prerequisite that you could sing if you wanted to be in a musical

yeah and Flash is going to bomb too if audiences dont buy into the Keaton Batman hype. the way these DCEU movies have been grossing, its got an uphill battle.

'The Flash' Review: The Final Nail in the DCEU's Coffin

It's been a long, troubled wait for 'The Flash.' Despite a surprisingly decent origin story and solid performances, it wasn't worth it.

I would buy 10+ tickets opening night if Ezra wasn't such weirdo trash. Gunn keeping him is going to stop me from watching any of the future movies if he's in them

It feels like a bold strategy to get rid of all the fan favorites and keep that guy.

Those aren't the lyrics to Run the World at all. Then I figured maybe it was just a chorus comparison but Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't even have a chorus.

Social media is fucking retarded.

The actual lyrics are much worse

My bad, I'm not caught up on hiphop mumble rap lyrics.

Back to the point, there probably were 30 producers on this Little Mermaid jibberish song.

I'm not saying they are good. I just hate all the fake bullshit that gets posted and a bunch of boomers eat it up like a bunch of clapping seals.

It's not fake, it's the first ~15-20 lines to each song.
