Egyptian-Canadian actor Mena Massoud has deactivated his Twitter account after facing backlash for his tweet against the box office collection of his film The Little Mermaid. Halle Bailey.

Mena Massoud deleted the Tweet about the little mermaid
The 31-year-old actor best known for starring in Aladdin tweeted about the expected box office of Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid on Saturday, May 13. “The movie Ours is unique in that audiences have seen it multiple times. That’s the only way we’ll reach the billion-dollar mark when we open. The above statement was confirmed by the actor himself.
The actor’s tweet was in response to a fan tweet citing a report claiming The Little Mermaid is expected to earn around $115 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office while Massoud-starrer Aladdin earned $112 million. The fantasy film stars Naomi Scott as Jasmine and Will Smith as the Genie. It crossed the billion dollar mark at the global box office two months after its release. Here is the complete story.
Despite the collections of Aladdin, the film did not receive a sequel and fans seem to think that this is one of the main reasons why Massoud is “salacious” and “jealous” of The Little Mermaid and its potential success. They were unhappy with him lowering the box office collections of the Halle Bailey starrer and made sure the actor knew about it. Some said he was “anti-black” while others joked about how he wouldn’t get a job after Aladdin.
The actor later deleted the tweet and deactivated his Twitter account in response to the brutal criticism. Then a user commented: “While unemployed, Mena Massoud decided to slander #TheLittleMermaid, claiming that it would never be like Aladdin because it would never earn a billion dollars and people won’t see that. Twitter did him twice the dirty work & he deleted his account faster than the casting directors erased his career.” The Little Mermaid will release on May 26, 2023. There are several tweets appearing on Twitter that have attracted a large amount of attention. If you found this article informative, please share. Thank you for your patient reading.
