That’s a silly and unnecessary place to take it. As you well know, domestic viewership has been far from tiny.We should poll the tiny fraction of people that saw it

Oh, I see my mistake. Yikes, so I wonder if they really spent more than double on marketing this movie that a normal movie would spend, or if that rule is kind of outdated.

I wouldn't say anyone is gaslighting anything. The math is the math and unless Disney actually tells us what the true numbers are, this is the best estimate. If you think there is a better way to figure it out, by all means, lets hear it.

There's a thread for Bambi...Ha! The Onion suckered me again! For a second I thought this was real!
Sarah Polley In Talks To Direct Live-Action ‘Bambi’ For Disney
'Bambi' is getting a new live-action take at Disney, with Sarah Polley in talks to direct.deadline.com
'Bambi' Live-Action Remake in the Works
Oh god, it's worrying to think about changes they could make because Hollywood is so predictable. Maybe Bambi will have to overcome the toxic masculinity of being raised by just his Dad. We joke, but I would be shocked if there wasn't a nonsensical PC change.

It might crack the top 200 domestically adjusted gross…
And opinions vary. I wonder if Disney thinks underachievement “matters”?
Bet they’ll have a press release and set us straight

The media take was 2x production budget plus marketing…
That’s $640…
But Pengs is saying half marketing…so that’s $570
It’s not gonna make either

The data says it doesn’t matter to Disney.

That’s the sad reality, whether it loses $50 million or $250 million does it really matter at this point? (To us that is, I’m sure to Disney it matters a lot).
It was predicted to make a billion, it will be lucky to make half that, Disney needs to go back to the drawing board, literally.

I am beginning to question if it matters to Disney.

I'd just like to thank everyone here for doing all the math on this. I hate math. 
For now, it does seem the best case scenario is that Mermaid breaks even at $570 Million globally, but perhaps a more conservative scenario is that it doesn't break even until $700 Million globally.
As has been said here, based on its current trajectory domestically and overseas it's not going to hit $570 Million. So the story to watch by the end of the month is just how much money it lost. Which should make Elemental's box office tale even more of a nail biter for Burbank.

You can go ahead and throw that one on the long list of reality that people will dispute because someone in a nametag won’t admit it.
We aren’t allowed to use common sense.
