CONFIRMED: it's a flop!

Absolutely disastrous performance internationally, all hope is pretty much lost. It'll struggle to break even never mind profit.

Seems like Americans are the only nation not 'racist'. Everyone else isn't interested in this thing.

But here comes the bad news: “The Little Mermaid” has posted an international opening of just $68 million from 51 markets. Not only is that down 44% from the $121 million international opening of “Aladdin,” but it’s even less than the $87 million earned this weekend by Universal’s “Fast X.” Mexico is the top international market with $8.5 million while markets like Korea, China and Germany all reported less than $3 million each.

Considering how “Aladdin” was able to perform well worldwide and reach $1 billion, “Little Mermaid” is looking like it will fall well short of the high market set for it by other remakes of films from the Disney Renaissance. Depending on how June’s box office plays out may even have to rely on merchandising and other ancillaries to make a big chunk of its profit against its $250 million production budget.

Interesting demographic breakdown.

Heavy female leaning at 68%, with 61% between 18-34, and the largest demo being millennial 25-34 year olds at 35%. Diversity demos strong across the board, with 35% Black, 25% Latino and Hispanic, 26% Caucasian and 11% Asian. Most vibrant lands for Ariel were the East, South, and South Central.

That defiant overseas response is hilarious
