Sing along with classic favorites and new songs too!
The Big Picture Disney is heading back under the sea to provide a final boost to the box office performance of its live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. They've unveiled plans for a unique sing-along edition of the movie, slated for release in handpicked theaters throughout the United States starting on August 25th.
Sing-along versions often include on-screen lyrics, allowing the audience to join in and sing along with the songs from the movie. It can be a great way to engage with the film on a new level, especially for fans who know the songs by heart, and given the popularity of The Little Mermaid, with its legendary lyrics from the acclaimed Alan Menken plus new additions from Lin-Manuel Miranda, the film is perfect for this sort of special attraction.
An Inauspicious Beginning The movie certainly didn't open strongly when it first premiered back in May and it struggled to stay afloat overseas initially, but the film showed impressive sea legs and it managed to hold on, giving Disney a boost during a time where its movies were certainly struggling to connect with audiences. The live-action adaptation of the beloved 1989 animated classic, The Little Mermaid made its domestic box office debut at the end of May, raking in $117 million.
These figures closely mirrored the stateside opening of Aladdin four years earlier, despite Aladdin being based on a more widely recognised intellectual property. Notably, Aladdin had a successful summer run, concluding its theatrical magic carpet ride with over $300 million in the United States and surpassing the $1 billion mark worldwide.
The Little Mermaid stars Halle Bailey in the central role, and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric. You can catch our interview with the pair down below.
