Synopsis
Ariel is a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life—and her father’s crown—in jeopardy.

Weekend predictions: Little Mermaid shoots for $100 million on crowded weekend
May 26th, 2023
-1-News.jpg)
The Little Mermaid will swim off with the box office crown this Memorial Day weekend, and will almost certainly hit $100 million over the full four-day weekend. The big question as of Friday is whether it will pass $100 million by close of business on Sunday. Our model thinks it’ll be close, but may be underestimating the aquatic adventure’s chances.
