00:00It's not come cheap either, with a budget estimated at $270 million.
00:07It's huge sums. How's it actually expected to do at the box office?
00:11Because as you mentioned, the original one that came out in 1937,
00:15I feel like we all know that.
00:17So would people want to go and see a remake, do you think?
00:20Well, money talks in this day and age for Disney.
00:23And you know, they did spend that amount.
00:25And so far, in previews alone, they've made $3.5 million.
00:29And that's just from yesterday.
00:31So this week, this weekend, Leanne,
00:33it's predicted that they may make $100 million worldwide for this launch.
00:38This is really low compared to other Disney remakes like Little Mermaid,
00:43which opens with $95 million alone in previews.
00:47So there's a lot riding on this film financially.
00:50But what happens with controversial films like this,
00:53curiosity always kills the cat.
00:56And I think quite a few people will,
00:58even though they don't support the message of the new film,
01:01they'll be interested to see what happens in it.
