The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid has grossed $250 million worldwide in just one week, surpassing the global total of the 1989 original.
The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid has already outgrossed the original film in its first week at the box office. The original Disney classic, which is based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name, was released in 1989 and kicked off the Disney Renaissance.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Per Collider, yesterday marked the day that The Little Mermaid 2023 box office surpassed the original film's total worldwide gross of $211 million. The film's current total, a week after its premiere, is $250 million. Although this is driven more by domestic earnings than its lukewarm international grosses, it is still enough to earn back its production budget as well.
How is The Little Mermaid Comparing to Other Disney Live-Action Remakes? In the domestic box office, at least, The Little Mermaid is giving a strong performance that places it squarely in the top 5 among Disney live-action remakes. Its opening squeaked ahead of Aladdin 2019's opening, which was also on Memorial Day weekend. However, it still fell below 2016's The Jungle Book, 2010's Alice in Wonderland, 2017's Beauty and the Beast, and 2019's The Lion King.
However, if The Little Mermaid's international numbers continue to stall, this could spell bad news for its overall prospects. Of all the Disney live-action films that have grossed over $1 billion, all of them grossed more in foreign markets than in the United States. In fact, both The Lion King and Alice and Wonderland's international grosses more than doubled their domestic grosses.
Aladdin's international grosses were just shy of doubling their domestic gross, leaving just Beauty and the Beast as the outlier with a spread closer to half-and-half. However, The Little Mermaid will need to boost its box office considerably to reach that point. The way it performs this weekend as it competes with the new release Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse could determine its overall fate in the domestic market, which will likely make or break its overall gross.
