The live-action adaptation of Disney’s beloved classic, “The Little Mermaid,” made a splash at the Memorial Day weekend box office, raking in an impressive $118 million during its opening.

Halle Bailey’s stellar performance propelled the film to break the record for history’s fifth-highest Memorial Day weekend opening. Of the $118 million total, $96 million was earned during the thrilling three-day weekend. Furthermore, the movie has garnered $68.3 million from 51 international markets, bringing its worldwide box office revenue close to its $250 million production budget.

 

Disney’s head of distribution, Tony Chambers, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “It’s a classic. Many of my generation hold ‘Little Mermaid’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’ as their favorite animated films. These stories evoke cherished childhood memories, and this movie provides a wonderful opportunity for generations to pass on their love for these timeless tales.”
