Interestingly, The Little Mermaid (2023) does not appear on Deadline's list of worst performers. This omission raises questions: perhaps Disney categorized it as a moderate success, or maybe the studio decided to keep its failure under wraps to avoid further image damage. Industry insiders speculate that, like other underperformers, its losses could easily hover around the $150 million mark, but Disney may be artificially limiting its official exposure.
