Disney's 'Wish' disappoints during Thanksgiving, extending an animation box office rut
Publishing timestamp: 2023-11-27 17:57:20
Summary
Disney's animated feature "Wish" underperformed at the box office during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, earning only $31.6 million, far below expectations. Disney has struggled to attract moviegoers to theaters since the pandemic, and its decision to focus on its streaming service Disney+ has stretched its creative teams thin. The competition from other studios, such as Universal and Netflix, has also impacted Disney's box office performance. However, there is still hope for "Wish" as it has the December holiday season and Disney+ to potentially boost its fortunes.
