. It brought in just 19.5 million yuan in its first five days, compared with 142 million yuan for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” in the first five days of that film’s opening, according to Chinese box office tracker Endata. In South Korea, “The Little Mermaid” has grossed $4.4 million since May 24.
