TheLittleMermaid makes a boxoffice splash with $95.5 million opening
Disney's live-action remake of its 1989 animated classic easily outswam the competition, bringing in $95.5 million on 4,320 screens in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday.
In its fourth weekend, Disney and Marvel's"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" made an estimated $20 million in North America to take third place. It's now made $299 million domestically. The opening puts it in the top tier of Disney's remakes, with a similar performance to 2019's"Aladdin," though it was well short of 2017's"Beauty and the Beast," which opened to more than $170 million, and 2019's"The Lion King," which brought in more than $190 million in its first weekend.
Directed by Rob Marshall with a reported budget of $250 million before marketing,"The Little Mermaid" tells the story of a yearning, wayward daughter who cuts a devil's deal to swap her fins for a pair of legs. It features the songs from Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, including"Part of Your World" and"Under the Sea," that helped the original film spark a Disney animation renaissance in the 1990s.
