Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” is projected to rake in big numbers over Memorial Day weekend. The big-budget remake is expected to earn a splashy $100 million from 4,300 North American theaters in its first three days of release and $120 million to $125 million by Monday’s holiday.

Black American singer, Halle Bailey, says she is “honored” to play Ariel in the live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid” and hopes to inspire “Black and Brown children” in her lead role.
