re: Lightyear flops earning only $51 million opening weekend

I read similar they all parrot each other.

Also who’s voice is on the actual buzz lightyear toys from toy story? That’s right Tim Allen. It’s as if they pretend that Disney can’t walk around their own store and hit any toys voice box and realize “hey that’s the Actors voice from the movie”

The problem is they expect us all to join in on playing dumb with them

Apparently it only grossed $34 million abroad: Breitbart

This may not even get to $300 million worldwide.

I knew one of you little buttholes would pucker over that.

Did you see the part where you were punked out in the popularity debate? Wow, all those toys! Miles Morales? Jesus, how much of a fricking cuck are you?

And people just aren’t going to theaters to see these movies.

I dont Know if anything but big budget action films will ever really recover. Or if the future of movies is small theatre releases and streaming

Did you miss where Sonic 2 made 40% more when it opened on Masters weekend in April? It, too, has a target audience of families with young boys yet opened with $72 million. This IP was much bigger and should have blown it out the water.

Just wait till Minions is released next week.

Maybe this will get people to stop gaslighting for Disney. A Gru prequel is going to destroy one of the most iconic animated characters of all time.

But it’s not the woke stuff. We promise.

Dude, it’s looking like this isn’t going to even make $300 million at this point.

I just said it was a bomb. I'm saying the woke stuff wasn't the reason it bombed that bad. There were a ton of factors, a lot that you're not acknowledging and some that had more of an impact than the woke stuff. Which i already mentioned.

It should have at least grossed the same amount as Toy Story 4.

You keep saying this with no basis. It was expected to do around Sonic 2 or a little above. There's no debating that. 70-90 million. Toy Story 4 was projected to do about twice that, 140+ million. Your numbers are just made up B.S. to match your argument.

Personally I thought the trailers looked pretty good except for the major bullshite that Tim Allen wasn’t Buzz, but back in December I was excited about the film. I m not going not only because it apparently sucks, but also telling me I’m a bigot if I don’t like the movie and it’s themes.

Well they apparently didn’t learn that with people like me on Star Wars and haven’t spent a single cent on the franchise since watching the Last Jedi in theaters, so I guess I’m now going to be boycotting Buzz Lightyear from now on. I already own Toy Story 1-3, so they’re not getting a cent out of me from this anymore, and I love Buzz Lightyear as a character.

As for Woody not being in the film, as someone pointed out, who has the theme park attractions and sells more merchandise than Mickey Mouse? It’s Buzz, not Woody. Woody is kind of an a-hole to be honest, almost to the point where it derailed Toy Story from the start, but Woody usually comes around that he’s in the wrong and tries to make things right in the end.

Puss in Boots, Minions, and Deadpool did fine, and they’re spin-offs, so no I’m not buying the spin-off being the problem, especially given Buzz is more popular than any of those characters.

And yeah, agree on the bad marketing. I’ll give that one being a bit of a problem here, but I think it’s more what and how they were marketing is the big problem.

Let me get this straight, because you are unclear: You think Tim Allen should be marketed like Deadpool?
Just curious- since you haven't mentioned that in this thread more than maybe 7-8 times.

Get this.

69 year old Tim Allen, dressed as Buzz Lightyear, looks into the camera and tells kids to get their parents' credit cards out of their wallets so they can get online and surprise the folks with tickets to see the new Buzz Lightyear movie! "And while you're at it, treat yourself to a couple of those R13 and R15 games your mom won't let you play!" Then you hear a fart, and Allen blames it on the cameraman as he walks out of the frame. After the announcer gives the movie info, you hear Allen (off screen), "Uh oh guys, I don't think that was a fart."

quote:

It's pretty clear they knew they had a crap product so they threw in a lesbian kiss to get the critics who are all woke to rate it highly. Probably the first movie with groundbreaking wokeness that some critics rated poorly. You know the writers are shocked.

Wasn't there an article about some higher up at Disney, with a gay kid and a trans kid, gloating how Disney is allowing her to put whatever gay propaganda she wanted to put in their movies. And that she was trying to put one in every scene?
