Disney should learn from this. Take a beloved story and fill it with New Age/progressive crap, and there will be hell to pay.

"Spinner" Disney must truly be impressed!

Could not entice me with a new Disney movie. Their heyday has long passed. The Lion King was the last decent movie seen from that studio. Would rather plug in a tape or DVD in order to view Mary Poppins, Lady and the Tramp, or a long ago favorite: “Fantasia”.

Walt Disney is nothing but a burned, bummed out studio that now gives us nothing but crap.

Poor Walt. He deserves much better for HIS legacy.

LOL! So much for "Gurl Power." This might ruin Oprah's hopes for the Presidency in 2020.

By the way, this did much better than Tomb Raider (Lara Croft), which made a staggering $57 million in US box office.

Yep, turns out, nobody wanted to go see Oprah spew new age pablum in that movie.

The Last Jedi was also a flop ... at least compared to what they expected, and in terms of return on investment after production and marketing costs.

Heads should roll, but the SJWs won't let them.

Madeleine L’Engle is a favorite Christians children’s author of mine ... they took all her references to a Christian god but left in her references to other religions. they de Christianized the story. I plan on watching it one day but decided that it will have to wait to a point in time where Disney does not feel it was rewarded for this travesty. big problem with any movie made from any Christian author who deals in the philosophical when you remove all vestiges of a judeo Christian belief system.

Not only did they lose at the box office because they gutted the story, they lost all future DVD and streaming revenue.

I will admit I was wrong about A Wrinkle in Time. I thought that no matter how bad it was it would still make money. I guess it was to much for even the shallow crowd.

I’m surprised it made so much money. I wouldn’t even watch it for free.

The last Disney movie I actually enjoyed was John Carter. Their Star Wars/ Marvel stuff has been almost universally terrible.

The movie bombed. It made $33 million in its opening weekend, compared to $202 million by “Black Panther” ...

I find it more interesting that after weeks of hype by the MSM/Disney about "Black Panther" that it only grossed $202M. Rogue One grossed $350M domestic and $650M worldwide.

Take Christianity out of the story and add Oprah Full of Herself = a sure fire box office disaster.

The Disney rat is about to have another box office dog with "SOYLO".

“A Wrinkle in Time” hit US theaters on March 9 after heavy marketing promotion by Disney and abundant media appearances by cast members like Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon, and director Ava DuVernay.

Man that movie sank like a stone. Could'nt happen to a more deserving person - Harpo! Oops, I mean Oprah. Think producers will realize she is box office poison?
