The live-action version of Disney's The Little Mermaid swept the top spot at the North American box office for its first weekend in theaters, taking advantage of the Memorial Day holiday Monday in the United States, according to specialist firm Exhibitor Relations. The film collected $117.5 million at the US and Canadian box office as well as $68 million internationally.
The 1989 cartoon remake is still set in the 1830s Caribbean, on the edge of a fictional island. In the sea lives 18-year-old mermaid Ariel (Halle Bailey), the youngest of the seven daughters of King Triton (Javier Bardem) who rules the oceans from her underwater kingdom. Mischievous and curious, Ariel has always admired the human world. A passion that will push her to accept a terrible pact with her aunt, the sea witch Ursula (Melissa McCarthy).
“For a decade, Disney has been making live-action movie remakes a powerful phenomenon,” analyst David A. Gross wrote in his FranchiseRe newsletter. He notes, however, that The Little Mermaid still does worse for its first weekend than The Lion King in 2019 (191.8 million) and Beauty and the Beast in 2017 (174.8 million dollars).
Ariel and her friends nevertheless dethroned Fast X, which ranks second with only 29.5 million dollars collected during the weekend. That's less than half of what Universal's action movie, part of the Fast franchise
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 and the animated Super Mario Bros. the Movie, inspired by the video game of the same name, also fell one place each, to third and fourth, with receipts of $25.3 million and $7.7 million respectively. Sony's action comedy The Machine grossed $5.8 million and ranked fifth.
