The woke ‘Little Mermaid’ reboot completely bombed in reviews this weekend.
Disney’s live-action take on The Little Mermaid reportedly brought in $95.5 million globally in its three-day opening, according to Deadline.
However, the woke movie completely bombed in reviews – the bulk of the negative reviews were from overseas movie goers.
Critics blamed murky lighting and woke lyrics.
IMBD, Rotten Tomatoes and other online review-aggregation websites claimed online trolls are driving the bad reviews.
The bad reviews were actually tossed out in order to raise the final audience scores!
For example, IMBD said it published the “weighted vote averages” because not all votes are the same.
IMBD said: “Our rating mechanism has detected unusual voting activity on this title. To preserve the reliability of our rating system, an alternate weighting calculation has been applied.”

It didn’t bomb in the box office either. It debuted at #1 and raked in over $100 mil domestically.
Apparently

Just the headline and 3 times in the excerpt I’ve seen
😂🤣😜🙄🙄🙄
Manipulate the votes? Hmmmmmm, where have I seen that before.
So they’re using Dominion voting machines or some similar software for movie reviews now? Hey why not...it works for regular elections these days.
“It scored big and fast.”
Big, compared to its break even numbers? Big...worldwide?
Gonna run out of Granny willing to shepherd the brood to the cinemas instantly and run into their own brick wall of Granny "I ain't payin' for Disney+ to take yo ass to the movies, this show be on your channel before you go back to school."
In other words, we didn't like the poll results so we reset the goal posts so the polls agree with our stance on the issue.
Typical prog Disney.
Cut a toxic fart
and blame others for their stink.
Typical.
My wife and I saw it on Thursday in 3D. I wasn’t thrilled about going but as it turned out it was very well done. We both enjoyed it. Some people are over-reacting. Very few “changes” noticeable in the movie and the star has an amazing voice. We saw her on “That’s My Jam” and that girl can sing!
As per above, costs were around $250 million. It bombed.
thought it was IMDB
3 days/$95 million is a “bomb”?. the msm is lying again.
Yes and yes. And don’t forget the merch. And reigniting merch sales for the “original”. Financially it will do fine.
IMBD, Rotten Tomatoes and other online review-aggregation websites claimed online trolls are driving the bad reviews.
The only number that matters is box office.

Reviews didn’t stop ‘The Little Mermaid’ from being #1 at the box office raking in $117 million.
What else was playing?
We’ll see if it drops off. Probably a lot of the people who went to see it went expecting it to be like the original. Now after the word of mouth gets out, we’ll see what happens.
“Not me!” Lol..
I think the only Mermaid movie I’ve seen that remains in my mind would be “Hans Christian Anderson” starring Danny Kaye.
It came out in 1952. I saw it maybe 15 years later in the Second Grade Catholic School Auditorium. Danny Kaye used to be a big comedy and musical star, don’tcha know. It was well done entertainment. Good songs, good period piece costumes.
Almost enough to make a student forget about upcoming Math Exams.
