Disney Pixar's Lightyear appears to be a huge flop this weekend at the box office as estimates have dropped by as much as 35% in a day.
Following its $5.2 million for Wednesday and Thursday previews, Lightyear starring Chris Evans as the "original" voice of Buzz was estimated early Friday morning to open to as high as $85 million for the weekend, but now those estimates are a lot lower with it looking like the flick makes only $55 million, with it still hoped to make as much as $60 million.
It's also possible Lightyear could miss out on being the #1 movie of the weekend depending on how Jurassic World: Dominion does in its second weekend as estimates offer JWD could bring in around $54 million, so things will be close.
Update: Early Saturday projections are offering things are even worse as Lightyear is now estimated to bring in only $51-55 million

Another issue surrounding the film might be the LGBTQ controversy as Lightyear features a same-sex kissing scene that has seen the movie banned in certain countries, which similar to all the recent Disney Marvel releases, will cost Disney big bucks at the box office.

So you’re saying the movie didn’t generate a buzz?
Pshaw. As if JWD isn’t a lesbian push.
It is.
Good!
Good. Nobody wants this garbage shoved at them 24/7.
Maybe Disney actually doesn’t need to make a profit at the moment, but at some point, it’s all going to come crashing down. The sooner the better.
Yep. The other day I was scanning cable channels in the middle of the day and came across some action show with two female Army captains having a really passionate interlude in the office. One had the other on a desk top and I cut it off. Queer activity in police, military, and action shows is now common. I can only wonder what Navy Log would look like today, or worse ‘Men of West Point’. Today that sounds like an all queer all the time program.
Really, really bad.
But Lightyear is an absolutely not.
“Jurassic World: Dominion is really bad. Really, really bad.”
You bet Jur-assic it’s bad.
Disproving the old axiom “There’s no such thing as bad publicity”. There is a huge segment of the population that does not want to “normalize” homosexuality, particularly in the eyes of their children.
Drop the Toy Story stuff, it’s been beat to death.
“Jurassic World: Dominion”..? They’re still making Jurassic park movies??
Dear Disney, With grandkids on the way, thank you for saving me so much money!
“To monkey box and beyond”, Woke Buzz
I was brought to JW Dominion yesterday. I fell asleep halfway through it was worse than awful

Chris Evans is a leftist shitbag.
Isn’t Disney dead?
The term, "Hoist on your own petard" comes to mind here.
Disney Gay Day was earlier this month.
It was just an unending sea of horrible that went on and on.
“So you’re saying the movie didn’t generate a buzz?”
Sure, it did, and a negative one for homosexuality.
The Jim Jones massacre generated a buzz, too, but no one was racing to go participate.
