‘The Little Mermaid’ box office numbers prove beyond doubt that trolls and review-bombers don’t go outside

Even though it’s only been playing in theaters for 24 hours, The Little Mermaid has already required some outside assistance to ensure that it doesn’t fall victim to the review-bombing campaign everybody knew was coming.

IMDb has actively altered its metrics after almost 50 percent of all votes cast for the live-action Disney remake decreed that it was only worth a 1/10 rating, which seems awfully suspicious and entirely transparent when being bottom of the barrel accrued three times as many votes as any other number from two through to a perfect 10.
