Disney’s Little Mermaid flops in China amid racist backlash over casting

I get the impression that they planned for that. The revenue projections that I saw posted were right on target.<p>The Chinese market is large and they&#x27;d like to have it, but they know it&#x27;s unreliable. Some films will simply be disapproved by the censors. The one recent flop they had, Mulan, was specifically designed to appeal to them.<p>So I just don&#x27;t think Disney cares. They&#x27;ve already made back their money, and they&#x27;ll almost certainly net north of a billion when it&#x27;s all said and done.
