Disney making live-action remake of 'The Little Mermaid'

*IMJ* · 06-13-2023, 10:02 AM

Three weeks now since release.
Filmmaking Expenses Before Marketing and Black Books: $250 million
Industry Estimated Marketing Expenses: $140 million
$390 million total
Total Current Box Office: $415 million

There are always other hidden expenses, costs of credit costs that would add to the total expenses as well. But then, there are also hidden profits from tax breaks etc. I'd say in the end this movie breaks even or squeaks by with a profit so small that wasn't worth making it.

But in the long run they will also have some DVD and streaming sales. So I wouldn't call it a "failure" but I would call it another reality check. I'd say that on a long enough timeline it will make it's money back.
