Wish budget: 200 million (not counting marketing budget)
Wish Box Office: 32 million
What went wrong? Disney is looking at losing 250 million over a cartoon.
On top of this The Marvels will be lucky to break even. Which is a bad look for a franchise which consistently pumped out mega bucks for over a decade and when Captain Marvel and co are supposed to be the anchor for the MCU going forward

are you the guy who complains when ppl say the script feels AI generated
We are rejoicing that Disney loses money. Disney are evil. When Disney loses money, evil is being defeated by goodness. You not rejoicing with us makes you look evil.
Late stage drone copium
Fist Post cuck Post.
Don’t enter the thread then homosexual. Just hide it
>WHOOO CARES?!
Who cares about the decline of the premier animated cartoon company in America on their 100th anniversary?
Walt Disney is weeping
I'm starting to suspect that Wish won't even crack $30 million for the five-day holiday weekend. The real mystery is how is it going to perform come next weekend? How much of a drop? 50%? 70% like The Marvels?
The drop will be deceptive because unlike most films it won't include the Thursday previews. It will probably drop in the high 60's still though
The chuds realised their incel boycotts were not working so they have now resorted to death threats and intimidating cinema goers to prevent them seeing Disney movies.
Source?
Yes, I personally used my Wizard Powers to summon the hurricane that prevented a morbillion moviegoers from seeing Blue Beetle
But every rightwing boycott has been working.
Are lefties just jealous they can't restrain themselves from buying shit like chuds can?
>But every rightwing boycott has been working.
This wasn't even a boycott, but something worse. It's brand collapse. People didn't need to be organized. There didn't need to be some huge new outrage to crystalize sentiment. It's apathy setting in for half of their audience. It's organic, it can't be framed as politics no matter how hard both sides try, and there's basically no way to come out of it quickly. Disney has lost the next decade.
True, this is why bad publicity is never good, sure you might get people talk about your IP but after the outrage phase is gone people will grown tired of being at it and not see any change so they just check out completely and show apathy towards the IP
>death threats
Surely, (You) have proof of such acts?
>Death threats
Child's play, I used stored memetic power to summon an eldritch god of misfortune
>What went wrong?
The characters are unappealing and the setting moronic, the Muslim Spain kek, if they wanted the muslim market they should go with the tales from the Arabian Nights instead of this, you have also latino oversaturation in the last animated movies, Coco, Encanto (that made 250M) and now this?, the script was rewrote several times and the movie redone after each test screening and that's expensive, it is a shitty original script nobody gives a frick about, they should go back to the public domain ips that work
based chuds
Jennifer Lee doesn't know what she's doing, but they can't fire her without a massive woke c**t feminist lawsuit on their hands. live by the ESG, die by the ESG
half the threads on this board are just business meetings with people who don't work at the company
>implying the corporate scuttlebutt and clear signs of collapse and ruin aren't vastly more entertaining at this point than Disney's actual movies and shows
yeah good point. it's certainly true that laughing at disney is far more fun than their creative output. it's also just a reflection of how little there actually is to talk about when it comes to these movies
>business meetings with people who don't work at the company
Yeah well Disney executives have allowed the twin billion dollar IPs of Marvel and Star Wars to turn into tv streaming sloppa under their tenure and Disney's stock value is up on the monthly despite both Marvels and Wish.
I don't know what it is about Disney but the moment you have power or stock in the company the interest in profit goes completely out the fricking window.
5 star post anon, I'm recommending you for a PRRRRRROMOTION
>The Marvels will be lucky to break even.
0 chance of that
200-300m loss
>On top of this The Marvels will be lucky to break even. Which is a bad look for a franchise which consistently pumped out mega bucks for over a decade and when Captain Marvel and co are supposed to be the anchor for the MCU going forward
Big 3 dead/gone, MCU ended with Endgame. every movie after Endgame has just been a political statement, promoting minorities etc
If it's brown flush it down.
>What went wrong?
All of Disney's talent has been gone and the company is run by ESG teat-suckers who got high on their own supply and thought being paid as part of the fourth branch of government meant they were actually good at their jobs in a free market. They aren't.
It has a staggered release like Elemental. It may make a "box office comeback", but really it's just opening in more markets. Don't expect crazy drops like other movies that open everywhere all at once, and expect media to spin it as a win.
I expect it to do badly overseas because of the black lead.
Black female lead
Who is this meant to appeal to? Even Muslims don’t wanna see it and ris set in Muslim Spain for some reason
Shes so cute though!
Gotta be real I don't give any h*cks about a fight in a desert thousands of miles away between people who call me goyim and people who call me infidel.
Elemental only did 30 million opening weekend and went on to finish at $495 million, so Wish is looking like it's going to end up in the black, to say nothing of toys and Disney+ and all the other secondary revenue stuff.
Why did Disney release two 200mil+ movies within two weeks of each other and save nothing for Christmas?
They usually put Star Wars movies out on Christmas but they completely totaled that franchise
>The Marvels will be lucky to break even.
Dude it's not even going to make half of what it needs to break even. It's a major bomb and all the trades are afraid to comment on it
S-STORYBOOK EXTENDED UNIVERSE NO-ACK
Why did Napoleon do so badly? Don't say Waterloo.
It's beaten Wish the last couple of days
That's not much of an accomplishment.
Think of how well Oppenheimer did by comparison.
Ew, French
fair
>Look up trailer
>It's Phoenix again
>He's using his usual American accent as this Frenchman
Oh.
Oh I see why, now.
It's woke as frick and a character assassination. Napoleon is portrayed as a petty weak c**t who declares war because he's a loser who gets disrespected by his troops and cannot satisfy his wife Josephine, who is also the real mastermind behind his strategic conquest.
Sounds more like humiliation fetish fuel than sociopolitical messaging.
Napoleon is gonna beat disney a documentary is going to beat disney. Napoleon just came out.
Jesus, even the emoji is ugly. Wasn't there a single person trying to quality control this thing?
I kind of liked Wish. Am I moronic or something? It seems like the entire internet is shitting on it. The "white man bad" shit is getting old these days but other than that I thought it was pretty fun?
It was horrible timing to release a movie about magical brown Muslim-ish people in some sort of fantasy Spain while the western world is torn apart on how to feel about muslims and israelites killing each other again. Also, the culture war stopped being just a matter of /misc/tard trolls and feminist busybodies on social media to become an actual matter of geopolitical concern and statesmanship.
You're going to see lots of excuses for Wish bombing but Trolls being out and doing well dashes all of them
Also an R-rated biopic is going to make more than Disney's big 100th anniversary film
>What went wrong?
$41m is fricking pathetic for the #1 movie over a five-day weekend, even if it wasn't Hunger Games that would be bad
nobody is going to the movies this month to see anything, that's what went wrong
At least Hunger Games is in its second weekend
