Subtitles section

What's up everyone, Jeremy here from TheQuartering, and it is official!

The Little Mermaid live-action remake is a flop.

It is likely to lose Disney money.

Now comes the fun part.

See, I openly admit, I really have no idea how to predict box offices for Disney live-action remakes because who the heck knows?

The Lion King made like two billion dollars or something like that.

Aladdin made a bunch of them.

None of these movies look even like barely, they look barely watchable for me, but I also am not so jaded and so self-absorbed to think that I'm the only one that watches them, you know, just because I don't like it doesn't mean other people won't like it.

But what the interesting thing happening is, is the media has gone into full spin mode, blaming exactly what you knew they would, exactly what we all said they would, if this movie stunk at the box office.

And it turns out it stinks.

It's not a good movie.

People aren't talking about it.

A week after it came out, people are already talking.

Do you see anybody talking about The Little Mermaid?

No, everyone's talking about the Spider-Man movie.

The Spider-Man movie completely took the wind out of The Little Mermaid's sails.

And you just love, I mean hate, to see it.

We're gonna get into that story after a super quick word from this video's sponsor.

What the?

Was that Jake Paul telling me to play an epic tower defense mobile game?

Well, it looks like it was.

Let's check out this video's sponsor, Rush Royale.

It's an exhilarating mobile game where you're responsible for defending your tower against waves of enemies.

Defend your castle at all costs.

Unlock new heroes, assemble your deck, combine different abilities and destroy your opponents.

This game is sure to keep you entertained.

And great news, now the game is partnering with one of the Internet's most thrilling personalities.

That's right, Jake Paul.

Rush Royale has added Jake Paul as a playable hero and he brings his own unique mechanics and abilities to the game.

Jake's hero character is voiced by the man himself and he's ready to help you defend your tower against all attacks.

Jake Paul has several attacks like the super punch, hype and energy boost and memory photo.

Jake Paul's character is a limited time addition to Rush Royale available only for two months until July 29th.

Players can obtain this hero for free and keep him forever to play and level up.

This marks the first collaborative hero in the game with his unique abilities.

It's sure to make it even more fun.

I know people are always looking for new fun games and I can personally attest that Rush Royale is an absolute ton of fun.

There's a link in the description where you can download the game for free and start playing immediately.

And also when you use my link, you get a special master chess bonus with useful rewards which can be exchanged for a legendary card.

I know I'll be playing this weekend.

I hope to see you in there.

Now to talk about the box office first, The Little Mermaid declared a massive flop for Disney by box office analyst.

In a new video looking back at this past weekend's box office numbers,

OMB reviews open The Little Mermaid dropped 58% domestically is still making next to nothing internationally.

Let's just say the film is essentially guaranteed not only to flop but to be a massive flop for Disney.

It could ultimately be one of the worst performing movies in their entire history.

Well, that can't possibly be true.

They've certainly had, I mean, they've got that Elements coming out last weekend or whatever that cost 200 million.

That's going to do terrible.

You know, it's not going to do well that I will agree with.

He argues now, of course, this is all in the fact that many people when looking at the box offices are failing in comparisons, especially to Aladdin to remind themselves that the ticket price back in 2019 is very different than where we are today.

And also, of course, as everyone loves to hear and is always wants to get triggered by the rate of inflation has changed as well.

According to the numbers, The Little Mermaid's box office gross fell 58% in a second weekend as domestic theaters fell to just 40 million.

It grossed 95.5 million in its three-day opening weekend, including Memorial Day weekend.

The total domestic box office now sits at a 186.2 million.

The Little Mermaid did add to its international total with Deadline reporting it brought in 42.3 million in the second weekend.

The film only brought in 68.3 million in its opening weekend internationally.

The total international box office sits at 140 million.

The film's global gross sits at 326.7 million.

It reportedly had a production budget of 250 million, meaning the film is still in the red.

As OMB notes, it does not look like it will be getting into the profit zone anytime soon.

Now, usually the conventional wisdom says if the budget is 250 million then it needs at least 500 million to break even.

Or I mean you spend another 200 million on advertising.

They always double it to include advertising.

So let's say it's 500 million to break even.

Also, remember box office numbers.

If they're reported to be a hundred million, the company only gets a certain percentage of that.

Disney gets, you know, I think that generally the number is like 50%.

I think Disney sometimes gets a bigger percentage, but so remember that if it made a hundred million in theater, you know, the movie really only made half that because the theater keeps half that.

So quote, so far the Little Mermaid has only made 140 million.

That means if you're looking at best case scenario, maybe three to 350 million.

OMB analyzed, you're looking at international best case 250 million.

Those numbers add up.

That doesn't get you to 625 million, which is about break even.

So yeah, not a good look overall for the Little Mermaid going forward and think about all the money they spent advertising this movie, all the money that they spent saying, you know, this is going to be the best movie in history.

This is, you know, the time you have to, you know, this is that this is you.

If you don't see this movie, you're a terrible person, which we're going to get to in a second.

Later OMB review shared his breakdown on the film in the box office halls.

First, he explained if you maybe never followed my chart before I was able to break down years ago that most movies, most people make either 70% of their entire box office within the first two weeks.

Or if they have really strong legs, if they have really strong performing box office, they'll make half of their entire box office in the first two weeks.

There are exceptions, but on average, this is a vast majority of films fall into that number.

So if we assume that the 326 million is 70% of their entire box office, The Little Mermaid, that means we'll end the end result.

So a very likely scenario.

This movie would be at 466 million worldwide.

Best case scenario.

Let's say it doubles its money.

Best case scenario would be 650 million.

That's best case.

We are already seeing the legs for this movie.

It is not holding to that extent.

It's not doubling and it's not going to double what is made so far.

So even if it did make 650, it would be minimal profit.

According to some metrics would be a financial loss.

It really depends on whether your breakeven is 2.5 or three times the budget.

So even if it did make money, it would not be nearly enough to make up for any discrepancies in either direction.

It would be such a minimal profit.

It doesn't even mean that much in the first place.

It would still be a financial loss.

He then shared a prediction how much would make, you know, globally.

Look, I think that these numbers are generally, you know, I would agree they seem in line, but you know, there's no reason to expect that like the Little Mermaid is suddenly going to pop and be doing like massive numbers,

You know, there are movies that had incredible legs like Avatar and maybe Titanic and things of that nature.

But like you end up with a situation where this is just not that and the film just wasn't very good.

That's the that's the end result of it with all the protection of all the press and all the media and all this stuff.

It's stunk.

No, you can blame China and whatever you want like they're going to do

Black Panther made money.

There are a lot of you know, like there's a lot of movies that star black actors that are good that make money.

So I want to point out when Black Panther was making a billion dollars.

Nobody was whining about international box office racism.

But when you get Little Mermaid and it tanks then it's racism.

When the reality is it's just not a very good movie.

The Little Mermaid is getting doused and select foreign markets have been racist backlash over the casting of black actress Halle Bailey in the role of Ariel.

The movie has grossed a mere 3.6 million dollars in his first 10 days of release in China by far that we're showing among did he's Disney's live action adaptations.

What about Aladdin?

Wasn't Will Smith in Aladdin?

I mean that movie made a billion dollars.

It's it's so ridiculous.

It's like racism is only convenient for them when it's covering for one of their shortcomings.

And they completely forget or stop caring about it when they just ignore it when things go good.

They're suddenly not racist for Black Panther.

So this is a close to the movie as well as box office analysts say Disney new Little Mermaid could face challenges, but it's surprised by the extent of the backlash and its impact.

Social media outcry over Bailey's casting has been particularly vociferous in both markets sources believe this has resulted in unverified audience reviews bashing the movie in South Korea.

Such reviews have been making headlines negative audience reviews also populated social media in China.

And just before the film opened in this country the government affiliated The Global Times ran an editorial lambasting Disney's motives.

Well, I mean there was certainly plenty of negative reviews in the United States.

Right?

There's certainly plenty of negative reviews here in the United States.

It did okay here.

Not that great, you know.

And the thing is like look Halle Bailey can sing.

I don't know if she can act don't care.

Little Mermaid's not for me.

I don't need to see this movie to know that it's you know, there are plenty of trusted reviews out there.

That have reviewed it as being mediocre.

I'm not saying I think it I don't know if you could say it's objectively bad, but people you know, people know what Disney was doing here.

This is another huge win.

I believe in the battle for you know, the culture.

We know why they made Ariel why they cast Ariel the way they did not because she just happened to be the best possible actress to play.

I don't I don't choose movies based on the race of the main characters.

Maybe there are people out there that do I choose whether or not they're actually good and this movie the fact that all these headlines the Little Mermaid of is the Little Mermaid of box office success.

No, this article concludes.

It's a flop.

The Little Mermaid's overseas underperformance blazed on Disney's blamed on Disney's forced inclusion of minorities.

The root which is like a black culture website.

Can you guess why the Little Mermaid is a huge hit but not in China?

It's not a huge hit.

Are you saying that even if are you saying that this film is a huge hit?

It's not international.

I mean, it's if it were a huge hit it wouldn't be desperately relying on China to break even.

I mean you see like racism anti-feminism and slavery of cast a shadow of this film since its inception and it's exhausting.

Let us just have a fish movie.

Well, I mean you write for Glamour magazine.

This is what you get.

It's like the media is having a complete meltdown that people don't want to see this movie, but they ignore all the very popular movies of very similar quality that succeeded.
