Disney's Recent Animated Movies: Box Office Flops in a Row
Recent Disney/Pixar animated films flopped at the box office.
"Lightyear," starring Chris Evans, fell short of expectations, earning $226.4 million worldwide.
"Strange World" received negative reviews and suffered a loss of about $286.4 million.
"Elemental" had stunning visuals but struggled to attract viewers, barely recouping its $200 million
budget.
These three films deviated significantly from Disney/Pixar's expected performance.
The average box office earnings were -65% lower than the studio's historical average.
Expected profits were -79% off target.
"Wish," starring Ariana DeBose, Chris Pine, and Alan Tudyk, is Disney/Pixar's next chance for success.
"Wish" will be released on November 22.
