Entertaining and impressive – but not enough to justify Disney’s ongoing effort to turn their traditionally animated features into mostly-CG animated features.

The Little Mermaid (2023)

Harrison Ford's fond farewell to maverick tomb raider Indiana Jones balances formulaic blockbuster elements with soulful nostalgia and an audacious time-jumping plot.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

This isn’t merely a sprawling, ridiculous summer blockbuster -- it’s the Platonic ideal of the sprawling, ridiculous summer blockbuster, a delight for fans of the loony franchise.

Fast X

The talent outshines the writing, but these travel companions make for a breezy Italian trip.

ITEM1 Little

Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid” is making quite the splash at the domestic box office this weekend, with an opening day total of $38 million.
The fantasy, which is opening in 4,320 theaters, is expected to gross between $120 million and $130 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend.
The musical remake, starring Halle Bailey as the mermaid princess Ariel, took in $10.3 million in previews on Thursday, ranking as the seventh-highest haul for a movie rated G or PG. That puts the film on track to gross well over $100 million over the holiday weekend. With a $250 million production budget, “The Little Mermaid” must bait box office success in order to make a reasonable return.

ITEM2 - FastX

Fast X is racing towards hordes of dollars at the box office, and its earnings have now helped the Fast and the Furious franchise pass $7 billion globally, according to Deadline. Fast X has also made Universal the first studio to pass $1 billion at the domestic box office in 2023.
Fast and the Furious has now become the fifth franchise to pass $7 billion at the global box office, doing so in 11 films. It is currently ranked as the fifth-highest-grossing franchise of all time. It is currently tied with Warner Bros.' Wizarding World films, which includes the Harry Potter franchise, for the fewest number of movies required to reach the $7 billion mark. The films have collectively garnered $1.946 billion at the domestic box office and $5.083 billion internationally, for an impressive global total of $7.03 billion.

ITEM3

Disney’s The Little Mermaid is looking to deliver one of the top Memorial Day weekend debuts ever, after grossing $38 million on Friday, including over $10 million from Thursday previews. The live-action remake of the classic animated film is expected to generate $104 million across the traditional three-day weekend, and around $125 million across the extended four-day holiday weekend, coming in ahead of expectations. This beats the $116.8 million that the House of Mouse’s live-action Aladdin remake grossed across the same frame in 2019.

Two months after it hit cinemas, “John Wick: Chapter 4” came to digital the other day and is poised for its disc debut shortly. In the wake of the events of the film, questions have lingered as to where the franchise goes next.
We do know there’s a prequel limited series titled “The Continental” coming later this year and an already shot Ana de Armas-led spin-off film called “Ballerina” due next year. A fifth main entry though seems a long shot judging by comments made by star Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski.
