The Little Mermaid was defeated by Doraemon at Vietnamese theaters

According to Variety , The Little Mermaid , directed by Rob Marshall, earned $10.3 million in previews on Thursday and $38 million on Friday (local time) in the North American market. This is the 7th highest preview in history for G-rated and PG-rated works (G - movies for all ages and PG - movies for most audiences but some may not be suitable for children), and is also a good opening for a Disney remake. The film is currently showing in 4,320 theaters.

The Little Mermaid Will Quickly Dethrone Fast X

Box office observers say the film could reach $100 million after three days of the weekend, and if Monday is counted as Memorial Day, which is four days, the film's revenue could range from a minimum of $120 million to a maximum of $125 million.

The Little Mermaid is expected to make a lot of money outside the Vietnamese market.

Compared to previous remakes, The Little Mermaid is expected to be successful at the international box office as well as in North America. The remake of Aladdin (2019) earned $117 million after 4 days of the weekend and the following week, quickly reaching the $1 billion mark globally. Following Aladdin , The Lion King earned $23 million in early screenings, with a 3-day weekend revenue of $191 million, and then the film also reached the $1 billion mark globally.

The Little Mermaid is expected to easily overtake Universal's Fast X at the box office - the source emphasized. The racing film's earnings have started to decline in its second week in theaters, with its second weekend revenue ranging from $27 to $30 million; while its first weekend revenue was not that great - only $67 million.

The latest version of The Little Mermaid changes the message it conveys, but the plot basically follows the 1989 animated film. The film brings together stars such as Halle Bailey as the mermaid Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Javier Bardem as King Triton - Ariel's father, Melissa McCarthy as the octopus witch Ursula, Daveed Diggs as the voice of the crab Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of the fish Flounder... The film's investment budget is about 250 million USD.

The Little Mermaid ranked only 3rd by day in the Vietnamese film market.

Doraemon: Nobita and the Ideal Land in the Sky "reigns" at the Vietnamese box office

Although expected to make a big profit at the world box office, in the Vietnamese film market, The Little Mermaid could not "sing loudly". The film was released to Vietnamese audiences on May 26. The film's revenue on May 27 was 1.21 billion VND - ranked 3rd in the list of best-selling films, according to Box Office Vietnam. The film's total revenue after 2 days of showing was 2.91 billion VND.

Currently, the most popular movie at the Vietnamese box office is Doraemon: Nobita and the Ideal Land in the Sky by director Doyama Takumi - the 42nd installment in the Doraemon cartoon franchise. On May 27, the movie earned over 5 billion VND in ticket sales, bringing the total revenue in the Vietnamese market to over 20.4 billion VND. Fast X ranked second by day with 4.4 billion VND. Ly Hai 's Flip Side 6: Fateful Ticket ranked after Mermaid with over 596 million VND on the same day.
