Disney executives are waiting to see how the movie does in a few international markets but do not anticipate these protests negatively impacting the movie in North America.
The Little Mermaid was projected to bring in $120 million throughout the four-day holiday. With a $160.5 million opening weekend, Top Gun: Maverick from last year beat out Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End from 2007 and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull from 2008 as the biggest Memorial Day weekend debuts ever.
The 2006 film X-Men: The Last Stand ($122 million) should fall to fourth position in favor of The Little Mermaid. Fast & Furious 6 from 2013 is in fifth place with 117 million dollars. Little Mermaid’s international debut is expected to gross $80 million through Sunday. Fast X from Universal has made over $500 million worldwide in its first 12 days of release and will undoubtedly take second place.
