�The Little Mermaid� pre-ticket sales are currently showing the movie could
be the worst-performing Disney release in 2023 in China with current sales
sitting at $13,000 after 3 days of presales ahead of the opening on May 25.

Chinese box officer observers like Luiz Fernando tweeted on Sunday that
ticket sales for the live-action remake of the popular animated 1989 classic
film suggested there�s a lack of interest in China from moviegoers,
ComicBookResources.com reported.

�Meanwhile in China�s BoxOffice, ticket pre-sales for TheLittleMermaid show
no signs of reaction,� Fernando tweeted. �Disney liveaction finished SUN with
a scary $13k total after 3 days of pre-sales, for the whole MAY 25-28
period.�

�Could be the worst opening ever for Hollywood tentpole in China,� he added.

Hollywood has struggled to get films released in China since the pandemic
with a virtual ban on films from the West until the country lifted its
stringent �Zero-COVID� policy and amid reports that theaters were on the
verge of bankruptcy, the outlet noted.

The last live-action adaptation to hit Chinese theaters was Disney�s
�Cruella� in 2021, the report noted. The film grossed $1.6 million on opening
weekend and ended up making $24 million during its run in China.

At this point, it is still unclear how Disney�s mermaid film will do
worldwide, but early movie reviews in the U.S. have been mixed.

Variety contributor Simon Thompson wrote, �Endearing but uneven, [�The Little
Mermaid�] doesn�t deliver the magic of the animated classic, but there are
plenty of creative touches from Rob Marshall to float the audience�s boats.
Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy are great. Daveed Diggs and Awkwafina
provide solid comic relief.�

Kirsten Acuna from Insider said the film is �filled with a few great
performances from Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy, but it�s a mostly
paint-by-numbers remake that isn�t as good as the animated masterpiece.�

While Los Angeles Times critic Justin Chang wrote, �What�s on-screen too
often feels like wan, second-rate imitation, and the few differences seem
motivated less by a spirit of imagination than one of joyless anxiety.�

�The Little Mermaid� hits theaters on May 26.
