Elemental has been a good story for the “company”
The rest of the box office slate? Not so much

I’m just waiting for the official “end” to see if all that “it will make money…” stuff works out?

Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid
Remind me how well that index worked for Avatar again? 😂 Honestly I'm jesting a little bit. It isn't the worst metric, just not infallible. There's a component of feasibility to costumes. I never remember Mermaid costumes in my childhood, despite the undeniable popularity of the '89 film...

This post involves three things I really enjoy;
1. Disney Box Office Results
2. Japan
3. The Westegg Inflation Calculator
So, just for fun, here's what those Japanese box office results look like adjusted for inflation to 2023 dollars.
Alice in Wonderland: $186 Million
Aladdin: $130 Million
Beauty and the Beast: $133 Million
The Little Mermaid: $24 Million

I’m sure we can have a “2023 box office review” thread when Wish Comes out?
So the writedowns will all be on the books by then…
We got about a $400,000,000 (est)…a Maybe $100,000,000-$125,000,000…and then this $75,000,0000+ “misunderstood gem”
Just another log on bobs Burbank fire.
I did see the “singalong” did 1/3 the BO this past weekend of Jurassic park 30th anniversary special.

That’s the end of the box office run. It is what it was.
…guess he was too subtle, huh?

Just to prevent this from going too far OT in the Mermaid thread, I'm planning to do a summer review after next weekend over in the Box Office thread for all of Disney's movies through Labor Day.
By the 5th, the theatrical runs will have been over for all of Disneyland spring/summer tentpoles and many will have gone to Disney+ by the day after Labor Day.
I'm thinking of calling it the Summer Means Fun Box Office Update & Financial Reality Check.

You’re going to love it! I couldn’t wait and bought it awhile ago. Watched it with my daughter and grandson and it was great!
