Even if written by CNN, this still smacks of disingenuousness.
50mil is pretty standard for a top movie inits first month from what I’ve seen.
And it’s SECOND, just behind Jurassic World, which everyone knows is going to be the big topper. And which is ALSO terribly PC.
Stop getting so excited.
It needs to be in the 20mil and lower range to say it’s a real flop.
Yeah?
The last Toy Story film made $120 in its first weekend. This one made only $51m. Even with a much higher US population.
And it's SECOND, just behind Jurassic World, which everyone knows is going to be the big topper.
Except it was the second week of Jurassic World and it still beat the first week of the very woke Lightyear.
What more ya got?
It cost $200 million to make. Plus another $100 in marketing. They need to make over $300 million to make their money back.
And it's been banned in at least 14 countries with a combined population of over 500 million. That will not help it.
Nope, word of mouth will have the second week even lower. It’s a bad movie, period. It doesn’t resemble anything of the fun, over the top style of the original Buzz.
Plus Evans called everyone an idiot if they didn’t want the lesbian kiss. Heck, it’s another bait and switch by Disney. The main protagonists are the lesbian couple, not Buzz.
It’s going to sink like a stone.
