Rotten Tomatoes wants you to think The Little Mermaid remake earned a near-perfect audience score
BGR ^

Posted on 05/30/2023 7:39:06 AM PDT by aperez77

Critics have clearly responded to the movie with a collective “meh,” since that 67% score above is just a few percentage points away from the site’s “rotten” designation that starts at 59%. However, take a look at that near-perfect audience score. Quite a lopsided response here, don’t you think? The audience score is a very stellar 95%, based on more than 2,500 verified audience ratings (and that “verified” designation is important, which is why we’ll come back to it in just a moment).

It was kind of like “The Dukes of Hazard” meets “ Breaking Bad” meets
“The Wild Kingdom”….

Another business asks itself the question: “Should we tell the truth and endure the social vandalism that will follow, or just go along to get along?”

I want to see a remake of “Downfall” with an all-black cast. That ought to be fun!

I think Snoop Dogg would be a great Hitler.

They can make Scarlett O’Hara, and Rhett Butler black for all I care, but they better keep the slaves in “Gone With The Wind” black! Besides, that would still look authentic with blacks owning blacks!

Any other changes and I am going to be upset.

Still ain’t going to watch it, either! But, let’s be honest. They are not making these remakes for the general population!

It’s making lots of money for Disney.

The production budget was reportedly $200 to $250 million. General rule of thumb is that after you deduct marketing and distribution costs and the theaters' cut, a movie has to make at least 2.5 times the production budget before it even breaks even.

So it will not make any money for Disney until it hits $500 to $625 million at the box office. It has a long way to go.

Everyon knows this movie is a stinker

All you need to know is it is a full 52 minutes longer than the original… yep, it’s 60% longer than the original release.

All the woke, blackwashing, etc doesn’t even need to be cited…

There is NOTHING good that can come from adding 52 minutes to an 83 minute story.

But the music!

I mean can you improve on the main song?

"(Have your lawyer talk to her lawyer before you) Kiss de Girl."

And the verse about not subjecting her to the male gaze.... just divine.

And the part at the end where she decided to move in with Ursula, one of the eels and her sister in a polyamory household is beautiful.

Agree with your numbers. It’s a shame that every old Disney masterpiece has to be redone, updated, with new racial features. New woke and trans stuff too.

The only numbers that matter are the box office receipts and home video sales. That's it.

Do we know how they're doing yet?

It looks like the box office receipts dropped like a rock each day from the Friday release through Memorial Day.
