And this assumes Disney gets 50 percent of the gross.
We know they do not get 50 percent of the international ticket sales.

Even if there isn't much more money to be made, I'd hold off putting it on Disney Plus until at least September. Disney has to untrain people from expecting movies to be free on Disney Plus just a month or two after theatrical release.

Rule of thumb is you double the budget and the marketing is what it is.
But it’s not gonna make money…and the merch will be on clearance at Wally’s and Tar’get by July…
Watch it play

The writers strike is a bigger issue there too
Streams won’t have any content soon enough

100% agree, they sacrificed movie profits for D+ subscriptions, the “wait and see it for free” mentality has to change.
I just question if it’s too late to undo the damage, for 99% of what’s being released now it won’t matter whether I have to wait 2 months or 6 months, I’ll wait.

Now they have a developing box office problem to couple nicely with the streaming struggle
Can’t serve 2 masters very well
That’s ontop of other, more glaring mistakes

Such a Igerian move…approve “franchises” worth of new stuff before anyone even sees it?
Time for “rise of the resistance” in Batuu

No…the movie was originally released in 1989
The “re-imagineering of it” started on 5/25/23 and ends on about 6/20/23
…and they greenlit a cartoon based on it 1-2 years ago from the looks of it.

All the “this will lose money” and “what were they thinking” folks take note."In what looks like one of the biggest announcements at this year’s Annecy Animation Festival, Disney Branded Television has greenlit a new animated series for preschoolers, “Disney Junior’s Ariel,” inspired by the hugely popular story of “The Little Mermaid.”

The rule of thumb is that marketing is half of budget, not twice as much.
And while the split between studio and theaters isn't 50% all the time, the 50% works as a rule of thumb. A studio may get 60% of the BO when the film opens, but over the weeks, that drops to below 50%. And studios get less than 50% internationally.
And that's why 50% is used *as a rule of thumb.*
We will never know the exact breakdown of marketing or theatrical split. So, what works *on average* is the rule of thumb to use. This means if a movie makes or loses about $10M, that's a break-even range.
It's what Deadline uses when they're not gullibly accepting a studios' specific spin (cf. Black Adam)

It's interesting that 2023 Ariel is combined with 1989 Flounder. I wonder what they'll do with the other characters."In what looks like one of the biggest announcements at this year’s Annecy Animation Festival, Disney Branded Television has greenlit a new animated series for preschoolers, “Disney Junior’s Ariel,” inspired by the hugely popular story of “The Little Mermaid.”

Was going to mention the same thing. Super weird to me personally.
That was true up until a few months ago.
While D+ is still a top priority, it's not about the number of subs any more, but notching a profit.
This means Disney is committed to the theatrical run as much as possible (unless they know a property is an embarrassing dud, looking at you, Artemis Fowl, Home Sweet Home Alone, and Pinocchio live-action). This makes some money from that content before becoming part of D+'s library.
Movies that they think will be tentpoles will definitely go to theaters first and won't immediately go to D+ any more. They're keeping a window open for DVD/BluRay and VoD.
Fingers crossed for jacked Triton!!

It did lose money…the financial times took note.
Now a Disney junior cartoon show? Yeah…that’s not a terrible idea. The Alice in wonderland one is really cute

The only movies that went to D+ was because they had zero idea how to manage Covid.
I tend to give a pass for that.
As far as how they ever make a dime on D+? That’s far from known and still out there to be proven.
