'The Little Mermaid' soars to impressive worldwide totals.
It looks like things are going swimmingly for The Little Mermaid. The highly anticipated live-action remake of the 1989 Disney animated classic dominated the domestic box office last weekend.
The live-action film, which stars Halle Bailey as the mermaid Ariel, is Disney's latest live-action re-imaginings of their iconic properties. Just yesterday the live-action remake passed the 1989 film's worldwide box office total. However, despite the film's generally positive response from audiences and its domestic success, the film's profitability has been a constant question since its release. There is no doubt that, internationally, at least, the film has floundered.

The Little Mermaid is only the latest of Disney's recent attempts to recapture the magic of their animated classics in live-action films.
And though the film was met with a less-than-stellar international box office, it looks like the film still has some staying power. The Little Mermaid is currently playing in theaters worldwide.
