Disney’s “Strange World” Bombs

And liberals will scream that we are bigots when we don’t wanna see it and it bombs.

Can't wait to see how they try to blame this on conservatives

They pulled most of their ads for it because the tests were so bad. No reason to lose more money on ads when they won’t get people in the seats.

I loved WALL·E. But it was not a climate change story. That was just the backdrop and it was more about corporate/political greed and the sheep they created.

Avatar is Pocahontas. It has absolutely nothing to do with the climate.

My point is that Disney added these pieces in order to preach to children. They do nothing for the actual story yet they become of the focus. Hence the bomb. Or do you have a different guess as to why it won’t do well?

WALL-E might have had more humanity than anything they've made since then.

An amazing concept is to market your product to the people who have the money willing to spend on your product. The people this appeals to apparently do not want to support it

Wall-E was praised by the critics (back when they weren't nothing more than paid shill activists doing the bidding of corporate conglomerates) and audiences alike as one of the most poignant and touching and human stories ever put into animation.

I distinctly remember going to see it after watching Ebert & Roeper (don't think Ebert was even on at the time as the show was in its last days on air) rave about the film and the audience word-of-mouth was insane.

That was also absolute peak Pixar, where every thing the puroduced was a beacon of creativity and delight.

Sure, it was mildly set agsinst a backdrop of human pollution and consumption, but that was in no way the focak point of the story and it didn't feel forced at all.

As for Strange World, you could pick up the dripping cultural Marxist/groomer vibes and red flags from the very first second. For a film to even be profitable on a $180M budget, it has to basically do $500-$600M at the box office.

At only $12M on a holiday weekend opening, this is going to go down as one of the biggest bombs in recent movie history. It probably won't even earn $100M total in the N American BO over its entire span.

Disney is in deep deep financial trouble from their film studio standpoint. You can't lose $400M+ multiple times and remain solvent. There's a reason their stock has lost so much value, and it ain't because people aren't going to their parks anymore... Because they still are... In droves.

Disney made a movie instead a stretched-to-the-breaking-point drawn out series. Wow.

No. That’s not it and never will be. Nothing about that movie looked good.
