Elemental is going to lose money. 
But
Little Mermaid 2023 has already made its money back 2 to 1.
So this is fake news.

According to two sources that saw the exchange and a third familiar with the matter, the back and forth began when Boebert approached Greene—then seated in the chamber—and confronted her over “statements you made about me publicly.” All three of the sources said Greene called Boebert a “[BLEEP].” One of the sources said Greene called her “a little [BLEEP].”

According to two of the sources, Greene then stood up and alleged that Boebert “copied my articles of impeachment,” to which the Colorado lawmaker fired back that she hadn’t even read Greene’s resolution.

“I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little [BLEEP] to me,” Greene told Boebert, according to a source who witnessed the exchange. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”

The name-calling was confirmed by another GOP lawmaker and another source who witnessed the exchange.

“I heard Marjorie call Boebert a [BLEEP] right to her face,” one GOP lawmaker said, granted anonymity by The Daily Beast to speak freely about the argument.

“OK, Marjorie, we’re through,” Boebert then said, shrugging her shoulders.

With Boebert’s back turned, Greene responded: “We were never together.”

I’m putting my money on Greene. She looks vicious and probably fights dirty.

Scratching, hair pulling, tearing each other's clothes...  I want it to happen.  

Yes, my mind is in the gutter.
MTG pinning Boebert down on the House floor with her knee while taunting her. Hears the squad cackling, looks over her shoulder and says, ‘You [BLEEP] want some of this??’

Maybe she's left the job, but, I'm sure it wasn't for those reasons.

Be better Marty.  
These are female politicians we are talking about.
You should at least be offering to contribute to one of their campaigns in exchange for this entertainment.

I understand the push back against woke ism, and all that and I sympathize with most of it, but I don't get this business with the little mermaid. Why does she have to be white?

I never got an answer to this.

Why can't they make new films involving people of color instead of erasing white characters? Are they ashamed of white people?

They did make a few like The Princess and The Frog, but they're few and far between. They need to introduce new black and brown characters and leave the rest alone. 

I guess with all the backlash, I guess I'm not the only one that feels this way, eh?

There's your answer..

Mermaids are not real.  Did you know that?  You can make them any color you want.

Why do parents buy dolls for their child that matches the skin color of their own child? Because that's what they do.. Nothing wrong with it.. And those dolls aren't real either.

From Wikipedia:

"Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including Europe, Asia, and Africa."

So, a mermaid can be played by anyone- European, Asian, or African.

Same reason Moana can't be white. It's not that you can't do it; it's that there's already a familiarity to it. Ariel is a concept that has already been imagined, and you don't change it unless it makes sense. A perfect example is Miles Morales. He was already a figure in the comic books, but when it was pitched that Spider-Man be black, people got offended. Then, they do a multi-verse, where all options are on the table, and people love it. It's not that American's won't support a person of a different race. Black Panther speaks volumes to this. Color Purple. Every Will Smith movie. It's that you don't take something iconic and change it, simply for the sake of the woke religion. It's [BLEEP].

Well said..
Wonder if they could remake White Men Can't Jump in which the Woody Harrelson character is actually black.

We bought my daughter dolls of all different races.  She never seemed to prefer white ones.  One thing she would do was sort them from biggest to smallest, and then she became their teacher.  And we noticed that she named them all after girls in her daycare, and the skin tones did match.  So she definitely noticed skin tone, but it didn't matter to her at all.  Still doesn't, as far as I can tell.  

Anecdotally I've heard stories of black girls being so excited to get a black doll for the first time, but, if my experience is typical, I guess I don't believe those stories.  It's the parents.  The kid doesn't care.

The kid shouldn't care, especially if she's trying to mimic her classmates.

Sounds like a cute kid..

Sorry but you don't know what you are talking about.

It has grossed ~$470 box office, that does not go to Disney. The theater split averages to be 50%, then there is other fees to pay, and all the marketing budget has to be covered.

Right now it is still losing money as it cost around $250. The estimates are it needs to gross over $560 to just break even.

Then there is the licensing deals for merchandise that won't happen. Just because it broke even doesn't mean it is a success. Breaking even is a failure for Disney.

Greene definitely does.

Both are divorcing their husbands. Greene though seems to be the one that was cheating with a media personality (can't remember which one but not MSM). Boebert's husband seems to have gone crazy and/or has anger issues.

Greene also was all over McCarthy during the speaker voting and there were several rumors from the right gossip rags.

This year she has turned into a RINO and appears to have been paid off, something going on behind the scenes, or she was never a believer in what she was saying.
