After all, Disney had already kneecapped itself by infusing its summer animated tentpole, Lightyear, which was aimed at kids, with lesbianism. The people responsible for Strange World can’t say they didn’t see this coming. However, those figures were rapidly, and significantly, revised downwards when it was understood how poorly the movie was performing with audiences. The film featured a star-studded cast including voice acting from Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid, Lucy Liu, and Gabrielle Union, and sported a massive budget between $120 and $130 million, the Daily Mail writes.Įxpectations were initially high for Strange World with Disney projecting the film to earn between $30 and $40 million dollars over the long weekend. Ultimately, Strange World only garnered about half of its projected long weekend revenue. Strange World had Disney’s second-worst opening weekend ever, behind only the pandemic-era release of West Side Story directed by Steven Spielberg, Variety reported Sunday.

You already know about the $200 million bath Disney is taking thanks to its unwise and unsuccessful advocacy against the fraudulently dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida that state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, and its legislative majority stripped the highly favorable tax treatment given to the company for its massive Orlando-area theme park for more than half a century in response to Disney’s threats and attacks over the passage of a bill that even a majority of Democrat voters in Florida were for.
