Removing him killed the movie

*They. They were going to be non-binary.
This didn't warrant another thread for attention.
Is there any chance it will recover like Elemental?
I hope not. Disney needs to be humbled.
We have to wait, it may not end up being the biggest bomb of all time
Relax, OP. Disney's next project will be a new adaptation of Leon Uris' Exodus and Israel will forgive their sins.
That’s funny, because Katzenberg was so close to having that be greenlit by Eisner when he was at Disney, but then once he moved to his new formed company with David Geffen and Steven Spielberg known as DreamWorks, he ended up allowing that to happen in the form of Prince of Egypt, and that ended up becoming one of the greatest animated movies from that company.

Pretty sure Mars Needs Moms still holds that title. Even adjusted for inflation, Wish has already passed its worldwide total without opening in a bunch of major territories.
Wish had a waaaay higher budget though
I still say Dial of Destiny is the bigger bomb though
Anywhere from 100 to over 200 mil, last I heard.
Without inflation thats the biggest bomb ever.

Mars Needs Moms' budget was in the $140-150M range even back then though. So roughly $200 million in today's money.
Dial of Destiny and John Carter are pretty close all things considered. I wouldn't be surprised if Destiny came out ahead of it because of tax rebates from the reshoots.
>Mars Needs Moms' budget was in the $140-150M range even back then though.
Wish's reported budget is $200 million which, given modern Disney's predilection for under-reporting, probably means it's in the $250m range. But even ignoring that, the difference between Mars Needs Moms and Wish is that they knew early on they had a flop in Mars, and limited their marketing exposure. Wish had the big traditional Disney marketing spend, and probably pulled marketing initially reserved for other movies.
I would guess a difference of upwards of $30~50 million in marketing between the two, which would increase Wish's break even target by another $60~100m. I'm sure Wish will be the smaller bomb at the end, but it is still too early to call.
Mars Needs Moms got a Super Bowl ad though so it definitely had a full marketing campaign.
Meanwhile a big chunk of Wish's advertising was cross-promotional through the Disney 100 material. If anything, I'd expect it to have a cheaper ad campaign relative to its budget than MNM did.
Even Strange World got a 90-million dollar marketing budget. I'd say they'd spend a bit more than that for their 100th year movie celebration.
Mars Needs Moms was still the bigger failure.
Wish made around 30-40 million opening weekend. Mars needs mom made 30-40 mill its whole box office run.
>inb4 budget
Both had similiar budgets ranging from 150-200 million. And that's not even accounting for inflation.
The Disney brand itself is slowly becoming Toxic. No one wants to buy anything from a company that has spent the last decade forcing agendas and diversity down our throats. Appealing to AT MOST 5% of the population is probably the dumbest way to run a business.
I wouldn't say it's 100% politics but there's no denying people are actively avoiding Disney movies now.
Or just waiting for Disney+.
Until they double the price next year, anyway.
The politics really, really don't help. Disney used to be a safe choice for family entertainment- it never really pushed the envelope or ruffled any feathers. You could pick pretty much anything from the Disney canon and put it on the family TV during the holidays without provoking a rant from your backwoods uncle or offending the delicate sensibilities of your san fran cousin. The more Disney tries to manipulate social and political agendas, the less family friendly it becomes.
Chuds didn't force the employees to make a bad movie, nor are chuds the core audience that Disney was trying to get money from.
How exactly did chuds affect the movie?
It's Disney's fault for putting their movies in their biggest fans' living room a month after they come out. They're cannibalizing one division to support another. This may or may not work out for them long term, but it doesn't seem like a good plan. Also they spent a lot of money to make a movie where they didn't pay much attention to the writing. Movie got bad buzz because it's not very good, not because critics are offended by what you guys think is "woke".
