Disney actually has done modern Mickey Mouse shorts...on the Disney Channel that is. But they're also on YouTube. They even did an abridged version of Snow White in one of these shorts.

But even then, stuff like Solo and Pirates had a bit more of an audience overlap. Wick and Aladdin, even if the latter may be "4-quad", still don't have that much audience overlap. If the 3-Day dropped in the 50s, it would still be kind of understandable, but the 60s is just really disappointing.
Runtimes w/out credits and trailer attachments for next week's releases:
Godzilla: King of the Monsters: 2:02. Attachments unknown (Annabelle Comes Home and Joker?)
Rocketman: 1:55. Attachments are Gemini Man and Terminator: Dark Fate (weird, because I got a Crawl trailer when I went to the Fandango Early Access show)
Ma: 1:32. Attachments are Good Boys and The Dead Don't Die
No, there have been several kids movies opening on this weekend in the past couple years. In terms of Saturday:
Alice 2 dropped 6.7% from Friday
Tomorrowland jumped 21.9%
Epic jumped 43.1%
That seems well-positioned for Aladdin, but the thing is that Alice is the only movie with standard previews like Aladdin. Tomorrowland had IMAX/PLF only previews, while Epic didn't even have midnights. I highly doubt Aladdin will buck the trend, unless WOM really kicks in.
I can see Aladdin reaching a 2.3x multiplier off the 4-Day tbh (that's near identical to what Alice Through the Looking Glass got with worse reception)
