I'm very sure they will massacre it, like they did Mulan. The beauty of the animated movie which was showing Mulan pass through setbacks and struggles to be able match her male counterparts in the army was jettisoned in favour of the woke Mulan who has always been bad ass from her father's house. She was so bad ass, she was even better and smarter than the other male soldiers. I mean, what the actual fvck??
Disney have become too Woke for their own good. Every childhood masterpiece we watched is now being littered with Wokeness. This is how they'll destroy good things.

I'm just hoping they won't take this Woke bullshit of theirs and destroy the original Star Wars by George Lucas.

They said the stories are being updated for 'modern audiences', whatever that is supposed to mean. Chivalry has become outdated and the idea of the damsel in distress is no longer acceptable. Women are no longer allowed to be women. We have a pair of iron balls tucked somewhere in our nether regions.

There's nothing wrong with women having balls of iron; there are women in reality who are very courageous and strong. There's nothing wrong portraying women as being very capable. I can only complain when they make the men entirely useless and same applies to women being entirely useless.

This is not the kind of strength I'm referring to. I mean 'physical strength'. Women are now portrayed as being able to match men " strength for strength, blow for blow" even when biologically this is quite the opposite. In the past there was a balance, but not anymore.

your people on this thread almost roasted me alive for saying the CGI in the trailer looks awful

Now people who have seen the full movie are saying the same thing

The only thing that looked authentic in that trailer were the faces...every other thing was awful CGI...even the suits looked like some PS3 shiii


I don't know if the movie will succeed or flop...but I know the CGI in that final trailer was awful...

For your information, the Flash movie they are showing to early viewers is still the Cinemacon version_ the version with unfinished CGI not the complete movie that will release on 16th June.

This Cinemacon version doesn't have end credits scenes and it was tweaked a bit to hide the big reveals like the original ending, this is just for marketing purposes.

It's not the complete movie.

Disney making it easy for the Flash....

Thank you, Bob Chapek!! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜€

Indiana Jones and now this one too...

June is competitive but the Flash will come out on top as the biggest movie of the month.

Disney will not see any profit next month.

And it's doing well at the box office too. The anti-woke crowd about to change their tune and start talking about "how it's not too woke" or "the wokeness is not being forced down your throat".

The game remains the same ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

Little Mermaid is not doing well at the box office.

It's only doing well at domestic box office, it's got underwhelming results overseas.

This movie is only boasting $164m global opening.
53% less than the global opening of Beauty and the Beast and 20% behind the global opening of Aladdin.

It will loose it's premium screens next week to highly anticipated Spiderverse and it will struggle to break $500m at the end of it's run.

This is a movie that cost $250m asides the marketing budget.

They want us to believe that The Little Mermaid in doing so well...yet it's a massive flop in International markets...
In fact it seems the movie will struggle to reach 500m


They want us to believe the ratings are good, yet the ratings are protected on different rating sites...and the scores we see are not the actual scores...

Didn't the film just get released? Where are all of y'all rushing to with all this analysis? Let it run for a week first and chill. Everybody don turn into box office analyst and film critic. Chill.

UPDATE: Before y'all start to run your mouths, the film got released on 26/05/2023, i.e. this past Friday. So I repeat, chill.

This Box office Think piece is a tad ridiculous, expecially the last paragraph, for a movie that is literally 3 days old.

lol, we used the excuse of unfinished CGI to defend the awful CGI for months...

Yet even the final trailer showed the same: "unfinished CGI"....And early previews also "Unfinished CGI"?

At what point will we finally admit that the CGI in the final product is the same awful one everywhere


you cannot be parading awful CGI all the way to your final trailer and even in all your previews if there is a good CGI version...

Don't decieve yourself...the final product won't be much different from what we've seen

You tried to push fake agenda that The Little Mermaid was already such a huge financial success...
But you were exposed...

The same way your agenda about the global audience loving it and giving it high ratings was exposed...

Now you're looking for how to deflect and hide...

It ain't a bomb yet but you're not completely wrong. Here's an article from DEADLINE (published 16 hours ago) confirming that it's not earning as much as the box office analysts had hoped. It's getting review bombed in Europe, it tanked in China as "Disney's worst ever opening" and a contingent of conservatives might not watch in North America. Let's just wait and see how it goes, air-tight June is around the corner though.

I said "potentially" a flop

Meaning it's not yet one but could possibly become one... especially with the massive drop that's expected

For the ratings...there's nothing special in the review bombing that other movies don't face. I've seen a single person creating over 500-1000 accounts to review bomb a movie even before it is released

But it still balances out when average viewers rate...
The 7.0 on IMDB has not changed at all despite 1000s of newer votes added...
Same as the 95% on Rotten Tomatoes...
Undeserved rating protection

Don't act stupid. Everyone knows in the box office industry, calculations changes a lot. Of course you wouldn't know that since I'm overestimating a classic Dumbo.
