Oh and by the way, The Little Mermaid has now done $467,699,129 worldwide. Not bad for a movie everyone here says was flopping.

You need to stop believing all of the right side propoganda also. It took me 15 seconds to find the FACTS.
From Movieweb: “With a $250 million production cost and a reported $140 million marketing cost, The Little Mermaid, under the most generous of projections, needs to gross approximately $560 million at the worldwide box office, according to Hollywood insiders, to reach its break-even threshold.”
From Rotten Tomatoes over the openings of The Flash and Elemental this past weekend:

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: THE FLASH AND ELEMENTAL SECURE DISAPPOINTING DEBUTS
THE DC SUPERHERO FLICK AND PIXAR’S LATEST ANIMATED TREAT TOOK THE FIRST AND SECOND SPOTS THIS WEEKEND BUT PERFORMED BELOW EXPECTATIONS, WHICH DOESN’T BODE WELL FOR THE FUTURE.
Elemental is projected to take in just $31 million to $41 million in domestic theaters this weekend, according to researcher Boxoffice Pro. That would be among the lowest debuts ever for the animation studio....Elemental cost a reported $200 million to make and tens of millions more to market.
The Flash grossed $55.1 million over the weekend....Flash’s budget is reported to land somewhere around $200-220 million
