Part 2/10:
Despite a hefty budget and aggressive marketing campaigns, Disney's live-action The Little Mermaid has failed to make a significant impact at the box office. The film's opening weekend results both domestically and internationally are underwhelming. In the United States, the movie slightly missed projections, but the real concern lies in its international performance. Box office numbers reveal about half the typical opening revenue of comparable Disney live-action remakes like Aladdin in 2019. If this trend continues, it could spell disaster for Disney, especially considering the substantial costs involved in producing and marketing the film.
