With this, The Little Mermaid will be enjoying one of the best Memorial Day weekends. Last year’s release, Top Gun: Maverick starring Tom Cruise, clocked the best-ever collection for the respective holiday weekend by earning $160.5 million in the domestic market. At second is Disney’s own Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, with $153 million (inclusive of paid previews).
Speaking about a live-action affair for Disney, Aladdin is at the top with $116.8 million for the Memorial Day weekend. Now, Halle Bailey‘s The Little Mermaid is aiming to beat that.
