The answers in the question as they say. Lion king was terrible in my opinion. Aladdin and Beast weren't much better in my eyes but they all were in the billion dollar club. That makes this a talking point. If the movie made close to a billion or more, the thread goes quietly into the night. But when a movie like this, that everyone pegged for at least 750/800mil, and it doesn't come close, people are going to talk about it.
Again, they’re not talking about it, but around it. One needs to actually see a film to have an informed opinion on whether it’s any good or not.
Agreed. But hasn't the vast majority of the thread, since a week or so after the film released, been about the box office and profitablity of the film? That's what's been driving the discussion.
By people who don’t really care. Who were going to find a reason to keep going no matter what. Just like there was always a reason to keep going when the box office wasn’t an issue. Even now, people are bending over backwards to make international issues into domestic issues because that’s the agenda they’re pushing.

We are at the point where Ariel shows up to help Captain Hook with something silly. JoAnna Garcia Swisher made a great Ariel.

That is a weird enigma…I bet no one predicted that?The story of the film’s popularity in the Philippines, where it’s the top release of the year so far, is fascinating to me.
Fan enthusiasm trounces negativity: How ‘Little Mermaid’ became PH’s No. 1 film
Bailey singing “Part of Your World” in “American Idol” Disney’s live-action adaptation of the 1989 animation “The Little Mermaid” may have underwhelmed at the tills in some key movie
Yeah…but it didn’t do gangbusters in Japan, Australia or New Zealand either…
There was no nuance in the repeated slurs against Asians for the low box office for this film. One poster slandered Asians as committing a “moral failure” for not supporting this movie. I said at the time that “Asians” should not be looked at monolithically.
My post of a few weeks ago
Going beyond the issue of blurring a lot of very different countries and cultures into 'Asia', I don't know that's entirely true. It has done quite well in Australia (only a 10% drop in its 6th week last week and still the #3 film) and in Japan it seems to be Disney's most successful film this year.
Or, more to the point, China. Which is the market Hollywood really cares about.
Solid for the market…I guess?
Well, I guess everyone interested in calculating inflation can also start factoring exchange rates into their estimations of how well the film has done.
Made $530,000,000 worldwide
You don't have any inside sources, so from where are you getting those numbers?
I think there are some people who are so upset with Disney’s management that they won’t accept any other factors as contributing to its problems. Nuanced analysis is difficult on this type of site.
