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 Panther” scored $111.7 million at the North American box office in its second week.

Ryan Coogler can, in part, thank Kirk Franklin and his family for that.
