So Elemental actually does look like a flop. Meanwhile The Little Mermaid managed to pull another $11m in its 4th weekend with lots of competition. Should hit the half a billion mark by the time it ends.
Its not a megahit but no way in hell is it a flop...and considering how many people actively boycotted it and wanted it to fail...it's done well enough. You know why? Cuz it's a decent enough film.
TLM needs 700 Million to break even according to estimates. People were comparing it to Aladdin and were hoping it reaches a billion despite the inflation and rising costs. It's a flop.
The interest in that movie internationally has been abysmal. I don't think people were boycotting this movie because of anything other than the reviews being mid, and word of mouth was bad for this movie.
At $250 million budget, If you were to take this at a 3x multiplier then it needs to make probably somewhere between $625 and $750 million to break even.
