The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-complete-guide-to-gina-caranos-post-mma-career\/\" title=\"The Complete Guide to Gina Carano\u2019s Post-MMA Career\">film earned<\/a> just $13,000 from pre-sales for its opening weekend, indicating a severe lack of interest from China&#8217;s moviegoers. The film generated controversy when Disney cast black pop singer and actress Halle Bailey in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-harrison-ive-been-working-with-a-race-educator-since-leaving-the-bachelor\/\" title=\"Chris Harrison: I\u2019ve Been Working With A \u2018Race Educator\u2019 Since Leaving \u2018The Bachelor\u2019\">title role<\/a> of Ariel, a role traditionally portrayed as a blue-eyed, fair-skinned mermaid. <\/p>\n<h3>Disney&#8217;s Struggles<\/h3>\n<p>Disney has been finding itself on the losing end of the popularity game, at least since its very public attack on Florida&#8217;s education law that bans children from being exposed to the radical gay and transgender sexual politics in the Sunshine State&#8217;s schools. This political activism has coincided with a major drop in America&#8217;s love for all things Disney. In June of last year, for instance, it was found that the company&#8217;s favorability quotient had dropped an incredible 40 points. <\/p>\n<h3>Box Office Numbers<\/h3>\n<p>Disney&#8217;s earnings are less than stellar compared to other studios. Since 2022, several of the films the studio expected to do well were relative flops. Its June 2022 release of &#8220;Lightyear,&#8221; based on the popular &#8220;Toy Story&#8221; characters, only brought in $51 million for its opening weekend when it was expected to rake in as much as $85 million. By November, its expected hit &#8220;Strange World&#8221; also turned out to be a flop for the studio and was on the road to actually losing money. These two flops reportedly cost Disney up to a loss of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-kills-160-palestinian-terrorists-destroys-suspected-suicide-submarine-reports\/\" title=\"Israel Kills 160 Palestinian Terrorists, Destroys Suspected \u2018Suicide Submarine\u2019: Reports\">quarter billion dollars<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Disney&#8217;s next expected hit, &#8220;The Little Mermaid,&#8221; opens on Friday in the U.S. and elsewhere. It remains to be seen if the film rises to the challenge or becomes just another &#8220;disappointing&#8221; release for struggling Disney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney&#8217;s live-action remake of &#8220;The Little Mermaid&#8221; may flop in China, based on pre-sales figures.
