Halle Bailey, la Sirenetta con i dreadlocks
28 05 2023 Roberto Croci
Interpreta Ariel nell’atteso remake del celebre cartoon. Non senza polemiche per via del colore della sua pelle. Che lei rispedisce al mittente, Pensando alle bambine di oggi, ai suoi capelli e a... Beyoncé
«Halle, vuoi interpretare la Sirenetta?» L’intervista a Halle Bailey
«Halle, vuoi interpretare la Sirenetta?»
Luglio 2019. Halle Bailey è a Malibu per festeggiare il compleanno della sorella maggiore Chloe quando riceve una chiamata sul cellulare. Il numero è sconosciuto, lei lo ignora. Dopo cinque minuti suo padre Doug le dice di rispondere, è importante. Dall’altro capo del telefono c’è il regista Rob Marshall, che le vuole offrire il ruolo di Ariel nel remake live action di La Sirenetta. Halle non ci crede, pensa si tratti di uno scherzo di Chloe. Davvero le stanno proponendo di interpretare la protagonista del suo cartoon Disney preferito? Oltretutto non si somigliano per niente: la Ariel dell’originale del 1989 aveva pelle chiarissima, grandi occhi azzurri, fluenti capelli rossi; lei è afroamericana, porta i dreadlocks e fa musica R&B con la sorella nel duo Chloe X Halle... Invece è tutto vero. Sono passati 4 anni da quella telefonata, Halle oggi ne ha 23 e dal 24 maggio la vedremo al cinema - anzi, “in fondo al mar” - accanto a Javier Bardem (Re Tritone, suo padre), Melissa McCarthy (Ursula, Strega del Mare nonché sua zia), Jonah Hauer-King (il Principe Eric).
L'intervista a Halle Bailey
Qual è la prima cosa che le ha detto Marshall?
«Appena ho risposto al telefono, mi ha domandato: “Ariel? Sto parlando con Ariel?”. Sono scoppiata a piangere, erano passati mesi dall’audizione, non potevo credere che avesse scelto proprio me... A dir la verità, ancora oggi mi sembra troppo bello per essere vero».
Come l’ha scoperta?
«Mi aveva visto esibirmi con mia sorella Chloe ai Grammy Awards del 2019, dove abbiamo avuto due nomination con il nostro album di debutto, The kids are alright. E pensare che lo avevamo prodotto da sole nella nostra camera da letto!» (anche Rob Marshall ha poi raccontato di essere rimasto colpito dalla voce di Halle ai Grammy - «Sembrava un angelo» - e dalla passione che ha messo nel provino, ndr).
Quando ha iniziato a cantare?
«Io avevo 11 anni, Chloe 13: abbiamo cominciato a postare video su YouTube, partendo con una cover di Beyoncé, Best thing I never had. Lei ci ha viste e ci ha scritturate per la sua etichetta, la Parkwood Entertainment: ci ha anche scelto come gruppo d’apertura per il suo tour mondiale del 2016! Le devo tantissimo, è una persona incredibilmente genuina, oltre che un modello per tutte noi ragazze nere».
Si è anche schierata dalla sua parte quando sui social, con l’hashtag #NotMyAriel, la ritenevano inadatta al ruolo per via del colore della sua pelle.
«Mi ha incoraggiata. Mi ha detto di essere forte, e che avrei potuto farlo».
Quanto è importante essere Ariel per una ragazza afroamericana come lei?
«I miei genitori non mi hanno mai nascosto la verità su come funziona il mondo, sul razzismo e la discriminazione. Chi non ha la pelle scura non può capire che noi neri abbiamo bisogno di vederci rappresentati: al cinema, in tv, nei nostri programmi preferiti. Spero che questo film possa aiutare le bambine afroamericane ad abbracciare il colore della loro pelle, a essere consapevoli che sono belle, che devono pretendere di essere rispettate per ciò che sono. Vorrei che la mia Ariel ispirasse dei cambiamenti nelle nuove generazioni, ecco perché questo remake di La Sirenetta ha così tanto valore».
Come è cambiata la storia rispetto al cartoon Disney del 1989?
«Nell’originale lei rinuncia a tutto per lui. Ma questo comportamento non rispecchia il ruolo che si sono conquistate le donne di oggi. In questa nuova versione Ariel scopre la libertà da sola. Eric è un bel naufrago, ma il film non ruota tutto intorno alla loro storia d’amore».
È stato difficile prepararsi al ruolo?
«Be’, certo non è stato facile. Mi svegliavo alle 5 del mattino per gli allenamenti, che includevano sessioni di nuoto, tuffi e immersioni, ma anche acrobazie. Passavo fino a 13 ore al giorno in acqua e spesso ero appesa a delle cinghie elastiche che mi lasciavano lividi sulle costole. Ma ne è valsa la pena: ho scoperto un grande amore per il nuoto, ogni giorno non vedevo l’ora di entrare in piscina».
Cosa ha imparato da questo film?
«Che posso raggiungere obiettivi che non avrei mai pensato di poter raggiungere. Sono sempre stata molto timida, a volte in famiglia avevo perfino paura di parlare. Sono grata alla Sirenetta perché mi ha fatto uscire dal guscio, mi ha spinto a essere coraggiosa. E devo ringraziare anche Melissa McCarthy, che interpreta Ursula: è una leader. Sul set sapeva come farsi rispettare e non aveva paura di dire la sua. Ricordo di averla guardata e di aver pensato: “Posso farcela anche io”».
Avete girato in piena pandemia...
«E anche lontano da casa! Mi sono dovuta trasferire a Londra: era la prima volta in cui stavo tanto tempo senza la mia famiglia, già quello è stato uno shock. Poi è arrivato il Covid e mi sono ritrovata, oltre che sola, isolata, con i confini chiusi, i miei dall’altra parte dell’oceano... In quel periodo mi sentivo come Ariel all’inizio della storia: catapultata in un altro mondo».
Possiamo parlare dei suoi capelli?
«Dobbiamo! I capelli per le persone di colore sono molto importanti, come rappresentazione culturale e affermazione sociale. Sul set la maggior parte del tempo che ho trascorso in vasca è stata dedicata ai test sui miei capelli, perché Marshall voleva che i miei dreadlocks, che rappresentano il mio stile da quando ho 3 anni, fossero una dichiarazione della mia identità. Sono molto contenta del look finale, credo sia perfetto per una sirena».
Da cantante, quanto tempo dedica alla voce?
«Le corde vocali sono come un muscolo, bisogna allenarle. È come per gli atleti: se non fai stretching, ti strappi. Io cerco costantemente di migliorare. Mi piace ascoltare i cantanti che fanno riff e vocalizzi in cui io non riesco. Tipo Plastic off the sofa di Beyoncé, cantare quella cover mi ha messo a dura prova. È come lavorare a un puzzle: divertente, estenuante, massacrante. Ci vuole tempo e pazienza per imparare».
Presto la vedremo nel remake di un altro film iconico: Il colore viola, diretto da Steven Spielberg e interpretato da Whoopi Goldberg nel 1985.
«Sì! Il cast è incredibile: ci sono H.E.R., Ciara, Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks... Sarà un musical, basato sull’omonimo show di Broadway e prodotto da Spielberg e Oprah Winfrey, anche lei tra i protagonisti dell’originale. Quando si fa il remake di qualcosa, è impossibile ricevere solo recensioni positive, molti diranno che non è bello come il primo. Lo capisco, e non solo perché quel film ha avuto 10 candidature all’Oscar: la storia delle due sorelle protagoniste ha un significato molto importante per la comunità afroamericana. Come per La Sirenetta, sono profondamente grata di essere stata scelta».

Source: screenrant.com/the-little-mermaid-remake-eric-story-nuance/How The Little Mermaid Remake Added Nuance To Eric's Story, Explained By Actor By Caitlin Tyrrell Published 4 days ago
Exclusive: The Little Mermaid star Jonah Hauer-King explains how the live-action remake fleshes out Prince Eric more than the animated movie.
Eric in The Little Mermaid live-action remake
Jonah Hauer-King explains how Disney's live-action remake, The Little Mermaid, expands Prince Eric's role in the story. In the original animated movie, Ariel saves Prince Eric's life, and he is captured by the redhead's voice. The pair eventually falls in love, but their relationship is explored too deeply as Eric helps an apparently deaf and mute girl, around the island. However, in the live-action remake, Eric has a much bigger role, as his relationship with Ariel is built on a deeper connection and aspects of his origin are brought to the forefront.
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for The Little Mermaid, Hauer-King shared his deeper understanding of Prince Eric. He discussed Eric's longing for more and feeling lost and explaied how those feelings bring him closer to Ariel. Check out the full quote and interview below:
Jonah Hauer-King: The thing that I loved about him this time around is that I was really understanding him as a person and on a human level. I think the archetype of the prince is fine. We all love him, and we all love the character in the cartoon, but I think in the live action version we needed to know more.
We wanted to have some more complexity for him. We wanted to understand who he was and what he wanted. He felt quite lost when we meet him, he's longing for something else, and he's longing for something bigger. I think that's ultimately what connected [Ariel and Eric]. So, that was a great challenge, finding all of those layers to him.
How Expanding Prince Eric's Role Improves The Little Mermaid
Jonah Hauer-King and Halle Bailey in The Little Mermaid
The live-action The Little Mermaid fully fleshes out Eric as a character outside of his relationship with Ariel. In the new movie, he's interested in exploration in a way similar to Ariel, with the two bonding over his adventures. This allows them to have a deeper connection, making their romance feel more earned and authentic. Eric's falling for Ariel holds more weight as he discovers her personality, even though she isn't able to speak with him.
This also gives him more depth as a lead, introducing new struggles into Eric's life beyond his desire to find the mystery woman who saved him. Eric grapples with his responsibilities at home and his love of adventure, which is something else he and Ariel have in common. The Little Mermaid brings a new layer to this love story that the original animated film was lacking, and the key to this is expanding Eric's role.
The live-action The Little Mermaid adaptation brings new elements to the beloved story. Eric's role being fleshed out with elements of his origin introduced along with new layers of his character helps make the story feel more full and lived in. It was also the key to making the heart of The Little Mermaid, the love between Eric and Ariel, shine even brighter than the original.

Source: www.vanityfair.it/article/sirenetta-nera-polemiche-video-bambiniCinema La Sirenetta nera è un'ottima notizia per i bambini (e nel mondo Ariel non è sempre bianca) Il film Disney è stato travolto dalle polemiche perché la protagonista di origine afroamericana non rispecchia il ritratto «europeo» originario. Ma per molti piccoli fan vedersi rappresentati è importante. E in tante culture africane e asiastiche le sirene ci sono eccome
di Marilena Delli Umuhoza 29 maggio 2023
Era dal 2019 che l’attendevamo, e finalmente **La Sirenetta ha debuttato in tutto il mondo con un film live action dal sapore multietnico e inclusivo.
Un cast straordinario con attori come Javier Bardem nei panni del re Tritone, Melissa McCarthy in quelli della terribile Ursula, Daveed Diggs nel ruolo di Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay in quello di Flounder e Awkwafina in Scuttle.
Ma è Halle Bailey a farci sognare, una cantante con alle spalle cinque nomination ai Grammy più una carriera da attrice nella serie Grown-ish, firmata dal leggendario produttore afroamericano Kenya Barris. La sua performance è vibrante e la sua voce ammaliante proprio come il canto delle sirene (qui in Italia doppiato dalla fantastica artista italo-angolana Yana C); Ariel non poteva essere altri che lei.
La prima sirena nera ad apparire sul grande schermo aveva già conquistato i bambini di mezzo mondo con un trailer mozzafiato, dove i colori caleidoscopici del mare facevano lentamente spazio alla pinna smeraldo di Ariel, rivelandone poi il volto dalla carnagione scura.
I social si erano scatenati con filmati di bambini neri che reagivano alla vista di una Sirenetta del loro stesso colore. Come quello di @workingmama, con quasi un milione di like, mentre riprende lo shock delle figlie che strillano: «È nera?! Mamma, è nera! Hanno fatto una Ariel nera!». O quello di @thedfwdad sempre su TikTok, in cui tre sorelline esclamano: «È nera? Urrà! Lo possiamo guardare adesso?». Commuovente anche il video della TikToker @callmedarii che mostra i volti delle sue bambine aprirsi in un sorriso e spalancare la bocca dalla sorpresa: «Wow!».
«Avevamo le lacrime agli occhi, non c’è dubbio sul fatto che le nostre piccole guardassero la tv pensando: “Mi somiglia”», aveva commentato a Today William Fleming, genitore di Rilye (due anni), una delle bimbe nel filmato. “Confrontarsi con la diversità in un film della Disney vuol dire molto. Perché sentirsi rappresentati è importantissimo, guardate alle facce delle mie figlie».
Halle Bailey, toccata dall’affetto dei suoi giovani fan, aveva postato un video con una carrellata delle loro reazioni più belle e gli aveva offerto un viaggio a Disneyland in sua compagnia più i biglietti per la prima del suo film a Los Angeles: «È davvero emozionante poter incarnare un modello in cui i bambini possano riconoscersi, quel modello che avrei voluto vedere io da piccola».
Eppure non tutti hanno accolto la scelta di una Sirenetta nera con lo stesso entusiasmo.
Dopo l’annuncio di Halley Bailey nel ruolo di Ariel, nel 2009, erano già fioccati i primi commenti negativi in riferimento al colore della sua pelle, accompagnati dall’hashtag #NotMyAriel. C’era chi aveva ripreso in mano un estratto del testo originale di Christian Andersen: «Erano sei graziose fanciulle, ma la più giovane era la più bella di tutte, dalla pelle chiara e delicata come un petalo di rosa, gli occhi azzurri come un lago profondo».
Peccato che la storia narrata dalla Disney non si attenga per nulla al testo originale, regalandoci un finale tutt’altro che tragico.
Non è la prima volta che un’attrice nera viene screditata perché riveste i panni di un ruolo che in passato era assegnato ad un’attrice bianca. Ad esempio, quando Quvenzhané Wallis interpretò il remake di Annie nel 2014, la critica lodò le sue doti recitative ma una parte del pubblico la attaccò ritenendo che Annie non poteva essere interpretata da una bambina nera. Poco importava che si trattasse della più giovane attrice protagonista mai nominata agli Oscar (per il film Re della terra selvaggia, del 2012).
Anche chi sostiene che le sirene siano solo bianche in realtà non ha idea delle molteplici leggende sulle creature d’acqua che popolano la storia umana da secoli e che provengono da più parti del mondo.
In Africa, in particolare, esistono antiche credenze sugli spiriti acquatici metà pesci e metà umani. Come Mami Wata o La Sirene, una divinità acquatica ghanese il cui culto si estende anche agli stati che si affacciano sul Golfo di Guinea. Mami Wata abita gli abissi dell’oceano in una città di rarissima bellezza, ma il prezzo per abitarla è la propria vita. A questa creatura sono associati i serpenti, i diamanti, le perle, l’oro, e il suo aspetto è paragonabile alle sirene della nostra cultura.
In Thailandia e Cambogia esiste la storia di Suvannamaccha, personaggio mitologico coinvolto nella guerra tra Rama e Ravana, col suo esercito di scimmie. Suvannamaccha è una principessa sirena che vuole ostacolare i piani di Hanuman costruendo un ponte per Lanka, ma nel farlo, finisce per innamorarsene perdutamente.
Anche in Giappone è leggendaria la figura delle Ningyo, esseri dal torso umano, bocca di scimmia e coda di pesce con scaglie dorate. Come le sirene europee, le Ningyo hanno voci ammaliatrici e recano sventura e nubifragi a chiunque osi catturarle.
Le sirene, dunque, hanno colori diversi, con storie antiche e affascinanti che mostrano la meravigliosa complessità che ogni cultura custodisce in sé.
L’apertura della Disney a racconti che narrano di questa complessità è il segnale di un cambiamento importante, che giunge a pochi mesi dal suo centesimo anniversario, il 16 ottobre. Cento anni che hanno visto la presenza di sole cinque principesse multietniche: Jasmine (1992), Pocahontas (1995), Mulan (1998), Tiana (2009) e Moana (2016).
Come ci testimoniano i volti delle moltissime bambine nere riprese di fronte all’immagine della prima Sirenetta nera, la presenza di personaggi di etnia diversa in un ruolo di primo piano costituisce un passo fondamentale verso l’inclusione e il rispetto degli altri. Per non parlare dell’impatto psicologico sui giovanissimi, che vedendosi rappresentati guadagnano in autostima, in un mondo dove il colore nero viene invisibilizzato o stigmatizzato. La valorizzazione delle differenze è un arricchimento per tutti quanti, indipendentemente dal colore e dalla cultura di provenienza, ma lo è soprattutto per le nuove generazioni, motore e speranza per un futuro più giusto.

The Little Mermaid is swimming laps around the competition at the Memorial Day weekend box office.
Disney’s live-action remake of the iconic animated film is headed for an estimated four-day domestic debut of $118 million, the holiday’s fifth-biggest opening of all time, according to studio projections. (Rival studios show Little Mermaid opening to $120 million-plus.) The three-day gross is an estimated $96 million. On Saturday, the film looked to earn as much as $125 million over the long holiday weekend but domestic estimates shifted.
Overseas, Little Mermaid started off with a disappointing $68.3 million from 51 markets for a projected global launch of $185.8 million through Monday. The pic drowned in China, opening to just $2.5 million. Box office pundits say the social media campaign protesting a Black actress being cast as Ariel could be having an impact in Asian markets and elsewhere.
In North America, The Little Mermaid earned a promising A CinemaScore. It is the first 2023 summer tentpole to target females, who made up 68 percent of ticket buyers. The film is also drawing an ethnically diverse audience; 35 percent of ticket buyers so far were Black, followed by White (33 percent), Latinos (23 percent) and Asian/Other (9 percent). Black moviegoers overindexed in a major way, while White moviegoers underindexed.
Rob Marshall directs the live-action adaptation. The new Little Mermaid stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, the spirited young mermaid who makes a dangerous deal with the evil sea witch Ursula (Melissa McCarthy) in order to experience life on land and meet the dashing Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King). The pact, however, poses a great risk to her father’s watery kingdom.
Bailey’s performance as Ariel has drawn praise from critics amid a racist backlash from social media commenters protesting the casting of a Black actress in the title role. Disney insiders don’t expect these protestations to hurt the film in North America but agree the backlash could be impacting the film’s performance in certain markets overseas.
The cast also includes Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Javier Bardem, Jacob Tremblay, Noma Dumezweni and Art Malik.
Last year’s Top Gun: Maverick scored the biggest Memorial Day opening of all time with $160.5 million, followed by 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End ($153 million), 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ($151.9 million) and 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand ($122.9 million). The Last Mermaid is counting on wresting the crown for fifth place from 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand ($122.9 million). Pirates and Indiana Jones both opened on a Thursday, so it isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison. The Friday-Monday earnings for the two films were $139.8 million and $126.9 million, respectively.
Universal’s Fast X easily came in No. 2 as it crossed the $500 million mark at the global box office in its first 12 days of release. The pic grossed $28.5 million for the four days and $22.9 million for the three, which represented a 66 percent drop from its opening weekend. Fast X will finish Monday with an estimated worldwide haul of $507.3 million after earning another $24.3 million internationally for a fantastic foreign total of $399.3 million.
Disney and Marvel took the No. 3 spot with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is expected to cross the $300 million threshold domestically in its fourth weekend after earning an estimated $25.3 million for the four days.
Universal and Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie placed No. 4 in its eighth weekend with $6.2 million for the four days.
Legendary and Screen Gems’ action-comedy The Machine and Robert De Niro comedy About My Father are also opening nationwide but aren’t expected to be big earners.
The Machine, from Screen Gems, stars Bert Kreischer and is inspired by the comedian’s stand-up act of the same name. Mark Hamill co-stars in the film, which is pacing for a $5.8 million four-day opening from 2,409 theaters and a fifth-place finish.
Lionsgate’s About My Father looks to come in at No. 6 with an estimated $5.3 million opening from 2,464 theaters.
New Afghanistan war film Kandahar, from Open Road/Briarcliff, is coming in No. 7 with roughly $3 million from 2,105 cinemas, followed by A24’s and Nicole Holofcener’s dramedy You Hurt My Feelings, which is looking at a four-day debut of $1.8 million from 912 locations.
Grosses could shift by Monday morning.
May 28, 9 a.m.: Updated with revised grosses.

Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid completes is opening weekend in China with disappointing numbers, confirming previous estimates. Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King as Ariel and Prince Eric in Disney's The Little Mermaid.
Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid has completed its opening weekend. While the film has proven to be a hit in most territories, its box office take shows that the blockbuster, like many Hollywood projects, is struggling in China.
According to EntGroup, The Little Mermaid ended its opening weekend in China with $2.63 million, making it the lowest-earning Disney release so far this year. For comparison, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever earned $5.9 million over it's opening weekend, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania earned $19 million and the more recent Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 earned $27 million.
The Little Mermaid Was Predicted to Flop
Early estimates for The Little Mermaid's performance in China suggested the film would not succeed with Chinese moviegoers. This stemmed from the fact that, pre-sales leading up to the opening amounted to just $13,000. On opening day, the Disney film earned a total of $550,000. Moreover, the statistics show that there is a steady decline in the number of theaters playing The Little Mermaid in China, though this is subject to change and it may be too soon to tell whether the film will see an early exit from theaters.
At the beginning of 2023, China ended what appeared to be a virtual ban on Hollywood films, allowing major releases such as the aforementioned Disney films, as well as Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves and more into theaters. Currently, Fast X is dominating the Chinese box office with its cumulative total of $113 million at the time of writing.
A Disney Success at the Box Office
But while The Little Mermaid appears to be rapidly losing audiences in China, it enjoyed a hugely successful weekend elsewhere. In the U.S, the film grossed an impressive $118 million over its 4-day Memorial Day weekend, for a worldwide total of $185.8 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
When it comes to its critical reception, reviews have been mixed. Most critics praised star Halle Bailey's dramatic and musical performance as Princess Ariel, but criticized the film's length and writing, describing it as overall unimaginitive. Furthermore, the film's focus on realism when it came to its aesthetic, was also slammed by critics. This followed backlash from audiences when clips and images from the film revealed realistic crab and fish designs for Sebastian and Flounder.

While The Little Mermaid's domestic box office numbers are quite solid, the film fell short of initial projections, particularly internationally. Ariel looking up and defiant in The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid's box office numbers are in, and the results are mixed. Released over the Memorial Day weekend, the live-action remake of the 1989 animated classic has been in development for years. The Rob Marshall-directed and Halle Bailey-starring remake received mixed reviews among critics, with some praising Bailey's star-making portrayal of Ariel and the new and updated songs. In contrast, others criticized The Little Mermaid's CGI, updated designs for Sebastian (Daveed Diggs), Flounder (Jacob Tremblay), and Scuttle (Awkwafina), and its lengthy runtime.
Per THR, the box office numbers for The Little Mermaid suggest that it is performing well, but has fallen short of its ambitious expectations. It is on track to make $118 million during the four-day Memorial Day weekend, which could make it the fifth highest-grossing release of the holiday. Its three-day gross is currently an estimated $96 million. However, The Little Mermaid isn't faring as well internationally, opening at $68.3 million, alongside a dismal $2.5 million debut in China.
The Little Mermaid's Box Office Outlook Explained
While The Little Mermaid's box office results in North America are quite successful, it still fell short of its three-day expectations of closer to $100 million. The film will hit that number on Memorial Day, but it was expected to do so during the weekend. Saturday tracking expected The Little Mermaid to make over $125 million domestically in the holiday weekend. However, it looks like it will not hit that number, and the international tally has not been very good.
While some box office analysts attributed The Little Mermaid's poor international results to social media campaigns protesting Bailey's casting, its reviews weren't overwhelmingly positive. As of this writing, The Little Mermaid currently holds a 67% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is slightly higher than Peter Pan & Wendy, but not as high as 2017's Beauty and the Beast or 2020's Mulan. Mixed reviews could've also factored into the mixed box office performance, but Disney remakes have historically been able to battle poor critical reception.
The 2019 remakes of Aladdin and The Lion King weren't well-received by critics, but respectively went on to make over $1 billion in theaters, bolstered by strong international results. While it's too early to tell how The Little Mermaid will measure up in its total box office run compared to other Disney remakes, it could fall short of making over $1 billion, as the international audience response is much weaker than previous remakes. Time will tell how successful The Little Mermaid will be at the box office as its theatrical run continues.

“Fast X” predictably won a second weekend on top of the mainland China box office, driving its total past the $100 million mark. But the disappointing start for Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid” was the bigger talking point.
“Fast X” earned $17.6 million in China according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway. That was a 66% drop compared with its opening weekend, but still gave the film a $110 million cumulative after 12 days and has caused estimates to be further revised upwards.
Ticketing agency Maoyan is now forecasting that the film will finish with RMB880 million ($126 million), having previously predicted RMB728 million ($104 million), and then RMB840 million.
That would make the film the top-scoring Hollywood title of the year (excluding 2022 release “Avatar: The Way of Water”). But the numbers are way down on past outings by the franchise.
To date, “Fast X” only ranks as the 49th best-performing Hollywood film in Chinese local currency terms. If Maoyan’s forecast proves accurate “Fast X” could climb to 40th place. In contrast, “Fast 8” and “Fast 7” are second and third on the list of imported films in China, with totals of RMB2.67 billion and RMB2.43 billion respectively.
“The Little Mermaid,” Disney’s live-action revision of its classic animation tale was only the second best-performing new release of the weekend and placed fifth on the weekend chart with a poor $2.5 million. It was beaten by new release Japanese animation “Sword Art Online The Movie,” with $3.8 million in fourth place.
(Second place was held by China’s “Godspeed” with $6.8 million for a four-weekend cumulative of $148 million, while “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3” took $4.9 million for a three-weekend cumulative of $79.6 million.)
Discussion of “The Little Mermaid,” in which actor and singer Halle Bailey portrays the title role, again raised the question about how willing Chinese audiences are to watch films with prominent Black characters. This has previously been debated around “The Black Panther” titles and “Star Wars” promotional materials.
Midweek, The Global Times, a state-controlled tabloid paper, lashed out at Disney and accused it of lowering the film’s potential in China by casting a Black actor in the role.
“Many Chinese netizens said that like ‘Snow White’ the image of the mermaid princess in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales has long been rooted in their hearts and it takes a leap of imagination to accept the new cast.” The same editorial accused Disney of “political correctness” – an argument similar to the “woke” accusations made by political Right-Wing in the U.S. – and said that the film would likely not perform well in East Asian markets.
It doubled down by saying, “The controversy surrounding Disney’s forced inclusion of minorities in classic films is not about racism, but its lazy and irresponsible storytelling strategy.”
A day later, after online discussion of how Chinese posters for the film had seemingly turned the mermaid’s skin color to blue, a Global Times op-ed went further. It used discussion of the film to launch wide-ranging criticism of Hollywood and western colonialism. It also stretched the debate to promote China’s anti-COVID policies and even its building of power generation plants in Africa.
“A number of netizens from Western countries on Twitter have attacked Chinese audiences, alleging that poor box office numbers are due to ‘racial discrimination.’ This is to impose their politically correct standards on Chinese audiences, and use this to sow discord between China and African groups,” it said. “China has always maintained brotherly relations with Africa and has never needed an ‘atonement’ mentality prevalent in Hollywood.”
Disney has a particularly difficult line to tread in China. It operates theme parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong and has long been the Hollywood studio that is most invested in the Middle Kingdom. But, as the past controverses over “Mulan” and the Chloe Zhao-directed “The Eternals” also demonstrate, finding a happy medium between China and the U.S. is tricky for the multinational when national security concerns and political sensitivities take such a prominent position in many debates.
Cold War attitudes recently caused the Mouse House to close its Disney English language school operations in China and lose more than two years of Marvel film releases.
Strangely, while audience ratings on a scale of 1-10 are a common feature of popular film discussion in China, neither Maoyan nor rival ticketing firm Taopiaopiao, currently provide an audience rating figure for “The Little Mermaid.” Readers on the film review site Douban give the film a limp 5.3 score, based on over 18,000 assessments.
Artisan Gateway reported that the weekend box office aggregate in China slipped back to $42.2 million, the lowest figure in a month. It calculates that the year-to-date total is 45% better than the equivalent figure in 2022, but 18% behind 2019.

The live-action remake brought in nearly $100m over the Memorial Day weekend, knocking Fast X out of the top spot

The Little Mermaid live-action remake of Disney’s 1989 animated classic made a splash at the box office on Memorial Day weekend, bringing in almost $100m in North America, according to studio estimates released on Sunday.
The film starring Halle Bailey, winning praise from critics as the titular mermaid Ariel, and Melissa McCarthy as her sea witch nemesis, Ursula, ranks as the fifth biggest Memorial Day weekend opening on record.
It displaces Fast X in the top spot. The 10th installment in the Fast and Furious franchise starring Vin Diesel has lagged behind more recent releases in the series, bringing in $23m domestically for a two-week total of $108m for Universal Pictures.
In its fourth weekend, Disney and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 made an estimated $20m in North America to take third place. It’s now made $299m total so far. A woman dressed as a mermaid looks into a mirror while underwater.
Fourth went to Universal’s The Super Mario Bros Movie, which keeps reaching new levels in its eighth weekend. Now available to rent on VOD, it still earned $6.3m in theaters.
Reviews by the Guardian praise Bailey as an “unmitigated triumph” while calling the new version of The Little Mermaid “bland but good natured” and also referring to racist attacks via rightwing media on the casting of a Black woman as the lead character.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday were calculated at US and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday.
The film hit theaters as humans gathered in real life for the California Mermaid Convention, a glittery and diverse gathering where hundreds became “mer-people” for the weekend.

By By Thomas Buckley / Bloomberg May 28, 2023 1:15 PM EDT
Walt Disney Co. estimated that the new live-action remake of its animated 1989 hit The Little Mermaid would take in $117.5 million in ticket sales domestically over the four-day Memorial Day weekend.
The movie, which stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, a mermaid who longs to live among humans, generated $95.5 million through Sunday, the company said in a statement. Boxoffice Pro had estimated the film would take in more than $105 million over the three-day period and $135 million for the four days.
Little Mermaid wasn’t universally liked by reviewers and currently holds a RottenTomatoes.com critics’ score of 67%. It scored much better with regular audiences. The Super Mario Bros. Moviefrom Universal Pictures, which is the highest grossing film of the year so far, also received a low critics’ score.
Disney, like other film studios, is still trying to find its footing in theaters as the world recovers from the global pandemic. Some of its family films have disappointed at the box office, including last year’s Lightyear and Strange World. The company still had the third highest-grossing film in history with Avatar: The Way of Water, released last December.
Disney’s budget for Little Mermaid was around $250 million. Marketing and distributions expenses can stretch to about half of that amount.

The box office crown this weekend went to Disney’s The Little Mermaid, which debuted to $186 million this Memorial Day Weekend and hopes to be Disney’s big live-action summer blockbuster. This is despite an overt and widespread racist harassment campaign targeting the film and its star Halle Bailey and others involved in the production.

The Little Mermaid’s audience ratings are high, and critical reviews — while somewhat mixed at times — are at least two-thirds positive for an overall good reception. Viewers gave it an “A” grade via Cinemascore, and The Little Mermaid currently sits at 67% at Rotten Tomatoes.
This data bodes well for The Little Mermaid’s weekly holding potential, and we all expect to see big numbers domestically in the days and weekends to come. That said, the overall worldwide box office numbers are good so far but not great, and the film has to hold well and benefit from that positive word of mouth in order to position itself for the coming onslaught of even more summer movie blockbusters.
If any film can pull that off, it has to be a big-budget live-action Disney remake of one of the most popular and successful Disney animated franchises in history. So The Little Mermaid should be able to at least deliver decent numbers and a respectable final box office tally. And it still has Japan’s market next week to help boost the international numbers, which will help.
But make no mistake, The Little Mermaid can’t fall flat offshore and hope to be a typical Disney blockbuster. And at the moment, the international ticket sales leave a lot to be desired, including for potentially shameful reasons in some cases.
Let’s just get right into that latter sad point — there is a virulent racist campaign against the film online, with attempted boycotts by those promoting the racist attitudes and attacks against the film, its cast, and its fans. Even certain prominent personalities who promote extremism targeted The Little Mermaid with outrageous, absurd, racist complaints and criticisms.
While the domestic figures are excellent at $118 million, The Little Mermaid’s $68+ million international cume is below expectations. How much this is influenced by the intense racist campaign against the film, which saw particularly extreme expression in certain foreign markets, remains to be seen.
But it’s awful and frankly evil, so if for no other reason than that I hope The Little Mermaid has a blockbuster run full of praise and strong returns, just to spite the racists who are fighting so hard against the movie and its stars.
The Little Mermaid’s box office bow also likely suffered from coming up against the second weekend of Fast X, the latest chapter in the Fast & Furious franchise that has now become the sixth-biggest movie series in history with more than $7 billion in the tank. Fast X has raced past the $500 million mark already and is on course for a big finish.
But it’s Fast X’s international numbers that are so particularly relevant here — it’s taken about $400 million outside of North America, while domestically it sits at just $108 million after 10 days. The enormous popularity of the Fast & Furious films in international markets is legendary, and that cuts against The Little Mermaid’s hopes in those markets this early in both films’ releases. This weekend, Fast X will score $87 million, or 33% higher than The Little Mermaid, to see how significant the discrepancy is.
Likewise, it’s amazing to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie continuing to hold onto its spot on box office charts with another impressive weekend performance nearly two months deep into its release. Mario Bros. alongside Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — which is also enjoying its own small weekly drops based on good word of mouth and repeat viewings — include the same key family and all-ages target demographics The Little Mermaid needs swimming its way, but those two films combined for $38 million offshore.
So together, those other three top weekend performers combined for $125 million internationally. There is simply so much competition that already got a head start and is taking up so much room at the box office in so many markets, it’s hard for The Little Mermaid to make a splash of its own, especially when it’s swimming against a tide of racist hatred and a tendency of certain critics circles in certain countries and outlets to perpetuate their own thinly veiled brands of racism and reactionary sentiment (including even plenty of pseudo-liberal outlets).
But it’s still early, we haven’t even finished Sunday yet, so there’s still some room for The Little Mermaid to pick up a bit of extra ground, hold well, and deliver the big numbers it needs domestically during the week and next weekend to compensate for the stumbles this weekend and gain an edge against the bigoted campaigns trying to hold it back.
So check back here again soon, dear readers, for more updates on the weekend box office, as well as other movie news and analysis.

Source: collider.com/little-mermaid-global-box-office-163-million/'The Little Mermaid' Swims Against the Current at Global Box Office By Hilary Remley Published 13 hours ago
‘The Little Mermaid’ makes an impressive splash domestically, but something fishy is happening at the international box office.
It looks like The Little Mermaid has found her voice, domestically at least. Disney's latest live-action redux of one of its most iconic properties has made quite the splash at the domestic box office, bringing in a respectable $95.5 million dollars, according to a Deadline report. However, the film's international showing is another story. The Little Mermaid brought in $68.3 million at the international box office, a paltry debut for a Disney property, bringing the movie's global total to $163.8 million for its first weekend.
The film is projected to hit $117.5 million dollars domestically as of tomorrow, rounding out the long weekend on a high note, in the United States at least. While The Little Mermaid was expected to lean more on the domestic box office, the film seems to be floundering internationally, with markets from France, Korea, Germany, and others seeing a slew of "review bombings" and unexpectedly low box office performances. The film is holding strong with a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, international sites such as IMDb in the UK, Brazil, and Mexico have had to post advisories regarding an unusually high number of negative reviews for The Little Mermaid.
Halle Bailey's turn as Ariel has been met with racist backlash since her casting was first announced. However, her performance has been almost universally praised by critics, bringing her stunning vocals and solid acting chops to a project that holds sentimental value to so many. Not just this, but her role as one of the first Black live-action Disney princesses has brought much-needed representation to a line of characters who are instrumental to so many children across the United States, and the world. Disney even brought their new Ariel out as a new meet-and-greet character at their parks in celebration of the film's release.
The unfortunate reality is that many audiences, both in the United States and abroad, have brought their own backward animosity to what is supposed to be an inspiring children's film. France's AlloCine had to issue an advisory along with the overwhelmingly negative reviews, viewers to "...make up your own mind about the film." An Underwhelming International Turnout Under the Sea
The Little Mermaid has taken in only $2.5 million dollars through Sunday in China — expecting a full weekend run of only $4 million. The film fared better in Mexico, bringing in $8.5 million. Elsewhere, The Little Mermaid brought in $6.3 million in the UK, $4.7 million in Italy, $4 million in Brazil, and $4 million in Australia, which rounded out the top 5 markets internationally.
The Little Mermaid was directed by Rob Marshall. In addition to Bailey, the film also stars Melissa McCarthy as the fan-favorite evil mer-squid, Ursula. Additionally, Bridgerton's Simone Ashley, Daveed Diggs, and Jonah Hauer-King also star in the ensemble cast. The Little Mermaid is currently playing in theaters worldwide. You can check out Collider's interview with the film's director Rob Marshall, and producer John DeLuca below.

Source: www.badtaste.it/cinema/articoli/incassi-usa-sirenetta-vince-weekend-95-milioni/Incassi USA: La Sirenetta vince il weekend con 95 milioni e punta a dominare il Memorial Day Andrea Francesco Berni 29 Maggio 2023 alle 07:30 · aggiornato il 29 Maggio 2023 alle 09:52 Cinema Articoli
Quello del Memorial Day è un weekend storicamente molto ricco al box-office americano: la stagione cinematografica estiva ha ufficialmente inizio, e alcuni dei più grandi blockbuster dell’anno escono proprio in questo periodo. La Disney ha scelto questo weekend di 4 giorni per lanciare La Sirenetta, ed è stata una decisione che ha pagato: il blockbuster ha infatti contribuito a portare gli incassi dei tre giorni a ben 160 milioni di dollari, e si prevede che nei quattro giorni si sfioreranno i 200 milioni di dollari – certamente non un record (quest’anno il weekend più redditizio è stato quello di Super Mario Bros., con 227 milioni nei quattro giorni di Pasqua), ma comunque un ottimo risultato in un anno di piena di ripresa come questo.
Aiutato da buone recensioni e dal passaparola positivo (come dimostra il punteggio CinemaScore A), il film ha registrato un incasso nei tre giorni di 95.5 milioni di dollari, in linea con le aspettative degli ultimi giorni (anche se si è dimostrato un po’ più frontloaded di quanto si pensava inizialmente, domenica vi è stato un calo dell’8% su sabato). Un dato superiore ai 91.5 milioni di dollari di Aladdin. Se le stime dovessero tenere, nei quattro giorni potrebbe chiudere tra i 115 e i 120 milioni di dollari.
La Sirenetta: esordio deludente in diversi territori internazionali
Fuori dagli USA la situazione è un po’ diversa: il film ha infatti debuttato con 68.3 milioni di dollari in cinque giorni, per un totale globale di 163.8 milioni di dollari. In alcuni paesi l’esordio è stato in linea con le aspettative, ma in altri è andato decisamente peggio del previsto, in particolare in paesi come la Corea del Sud e la Cina. Quest’ultimo ha registrato incassi praticamente inesistenti: 4 milioni di dollari nel primo weekend, senza che vi sia nemmeno un punteggio riguardo il gradimento del pubblico sulla piattaforma Maoyan. In paesi come la Corea, la Francia e la Germania sono stati registrati diversi casi di review-bombing da parte di bot su diverse piattaforme. Sulla versione britannica, brasiliana, messicana e nordamericana di IMDB compare un messaggio: “Il nostro meccanismo di rating ha registrato una attività inconsueta nelle votazioni di questo titolo. Abbiamo applicato un calcolo soppesato dei voti per mantenere l’attendibilità del nostro sistema”.
I paesi in cui il film è andato meglio sono il Messico (8.5 milioni), il Regno Unito (6.3 milioni), l’Italia (4.7 milioni), l’Australia (4 milioni), il Brasile (4 milioni), la Francia (3.6 milioni), la Spagna (3.6 milioni). In Germania ha incassato solo 2.4 milioni di dollari.
La frenata di Fast X
Tornando alla classifica americana, al secondo posto troviamo Fast X che frena vistosamente raccogliendo 23 milioni di dollari in tre giorni, per un totale di 107 milioni di dollari. Il calo del 65% è in linea con grandi blockbuster di questo tipo con un punteggio CinemaScore B+, ma forse ci si aspettava una tenuta migliore durante il weekend festivo. Fuori dagli USA, il film ha perso il 58%, incassando altri 87.3 milioni di dollari in 84 territori e volando a 399 milioni di dollari complessivi, per un totale di 507 milioni di dollari. Ottimo in particolare il dato cinese, dove ha superato i 110 milioni di dollari (è il quinto film americano a superare questo traguardo dal 2019 in Cina).
Al terzo posto negli USA troviamo Guardiani della Galassia Vol. 3, con 19.9 milioni di dollari in tre giorni e 299 milioni di dollari complessivi (potrebbero diventare 300 nei definitivi, traguardo che verrà comunque tagliato oggi). Fuori dagli USA il film Marvel ha superato i 400 milioni di dollari, salendo a 700 milioni di dollari in tutto il mondo (731 per la precisione). Vuoi di più da BadTaste.it? Abbonati!

Quarta posizione per Super Mario Bros., che incassa altri 6.2 milioni di dollari e sale a 558 milioni di dollari, per un totale di 1.27 miliardi globali.
Seguono quattro nuove uscite, tutte piuttosto deludenti. La controprogrammazione, a base di commedie o film a basso budget, non ha funzionato, e così The Machine al quinto posto raccoglie solo 4.9 milioni di dollari, About My Father al sesto ne raccoglie 4.2, Kandahar al settimo ne incassa 2.4 e You Hurt My Feelings all’ottavo incassa 1.4 milioni di dollari. Chiudono la classifica due pellicole in tenitura: La Casa – il risveglio del male, con un milione di dollari, e Book Club: Capitolo successivo con 920 mila dollari.

È La Sirenetta a guidare la classifica italiana dell’ultimo weekend di maggio, lo stesso in cui un anno fa usciva Top Gun: Maverick. Rispetto al 2022, gli incassi complessivi sono cresciuti molto, mentre nel 2019 un film come Aladdin da solo spingeva il box-office del weekend decisamente più in alto degli oltre 7 milioni raccolti questa volta. Pur non raggiungendo i risultati di quel live action (che debuttò con 5.7 milioni di euro), La Sirenetta ha raccolto 3.6 milioni di euro tra giovedì e domenica, salendo a 4.2 milioni di euro in cinque giorni. Si tratta di uno dei migliori esordi dall’inizio della pandemia, e il quarto del 2023, anche se dopo l’ottimo debutto di mercoledì ci si aspettava un dato più alto sabato e domenica. Cosa è successo? Verosimilmente, il bel tempo che mancava da diversi weekend ha preso il sopravvento, ma un’idea più chiara ce la faremo con gli infrasettimanali e il prossimo weekend.
Brusca frenata per Fast X, che ha subito probabilmente lo stesso “trattamento” dovuto al tempo: con 1.8 milioni di euro (un calo di oltre il 70%), il film sale a 9.5 milioni complessivi. Insomma, più che una maratona la corsa di Fast X al box-office italiano sembra più uno sprint.
Al terzo posto troviamo Rapito: il film di Marco Bellocchio puntava senza dubbio a un premio al Festival di Cannes che non è arrivato, e così debutta con 458 mila euro, un dato non particolarmente brillante.
Quarta posizione per Guardiani della Galassia Vol. 3, che rallenta e incassa 380 mila euro, salendo a 10.3 milioni di euro.
Chiude la top-five Roger Waters This Is Not a Drill: l’evento speciale, trasmesso in diretta venerdì, si piazza in classifica con 272 mila euro. Vuoi di più da BadTaste.it? Abbonati!

Debutta al sesto posto Renfield, con soli 126 mila euro, mentre al nono posto Daliland debutta con 64 mila euro. Al decimo posto un altro evento, trasmesso domenica, incassa 63 mila euro: TXT Act: Sweet Mirage: Live Viewing.
Da notare all’ottavo posto Il sol dell’avvenire, che non sembra aver beneficiato particolarmente del passaggio a Cannes: con 69 mila euro, sale a quasi 3.8 milioni di euro, e difficilmente riuscirà a chiudere la sua corsa superando i 4 milioni.
