Budget for the movie
Regarding the budget, "The Little Mermaid received $56.8 million (£46.6 million) from the UK government bringing its net spending down to $240.2 million". I'd like $297 million changed to $240.2 million The source is the same one currently used: https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2023/10/02/disney-sinks-300-million-into-over-budget-little-mermaid-movie/amp/ Amethyst2711 (talk) 21:14, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That Forbes article literally says "Disney Sinks $300 Million Into ‘Over Budget’ ‘Little Mermaid’ Movie" Claiming the budget is simply $240.2 million in the Infobox without any context is misleading and I don't know why editors thought it was appropriate for this encyclopedia to cherry pick conflicting claims into one fixed and deceptively specific number. The gross production budget is the amount they had to spend up front. The net cost ' after rebates is not the production budget. If they got rebates or tax credits the net final spend might have been lower (and the chance of profitability higher) but the amount they had to spend up front, the actual price they had to pay to get it made, the real budget did not change. Template:Infobox film specifically warns not to cherry pick budget figures, and also says to label the budget as (net) or (gross). The Infobox should be, and the article body is proper place to explain that tax credits brought down the overall cost. According to Variety the budget was $250 million and according to that Forbes article it was even more over $300 million. Based on these sources the Infobox should probably list the budget as $250-300 million.
 * Also Forbes clearly states that the source for most this was the Express newspaper WP:DAILYEXPRESS a source wikipedia considers generally unreliable. -- 109.76.192.22 (talk) 23:17, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
