    It's not the root of the problem but it seems everytime they do it one underperforms.

    We don't have many examples of this. IO/GD is the only one that counts, as everyone knew Cars 3 was doing sub-450M since it was announced. Also, I'm pretty sure you're switching cause and consequence: it's not like GD, Cars 3 and Onward failed because they were released along with a bigger Pixar movie, but they were released with a bigger Pixar movie because Disney knew they had limited potential. Sure they wouldn't release I3 and Soul the same year.

    ps correct me if i am wrong but the lower pixar/walt disney animation movies make 350-550 , the middle most of the time like 650 and the high sequels, overperformances( frozen,coco ,zootopia etc) make 800-1.1

    Disney has been overall more reliable than Pixar in the last decade, with the first Ralph being their lowest grosser at a still respectable 471M WW. On the other hand, The Good Dinosaur stands at 332M as the lowest Pixar grosser ever unadjusted. The problem with Pixar is that they occasionally miss the target, and make a product with no apparent appeal and/or a goofy/weird premise. Onward always looked closer to a GD than to an Inside Out, but covid put it in a very risky spot. GD got a risky spot as well by being released a few weeks before than the (now second) most anticipated movie ever, so it just got sacrificed. Same will happen to Onward. 300/350M is the likely range that early numbers from NA, Germany, Spain and other countries suggest. It's a movie that will never see a China release I guess (not like it would matter that much...) and that Japan will just ignore like it did to GD. It is just the wrong movie at the wrong time.

  4. Right now, they're handling the situation quite properly I guess (as much as I know). Also, the wave of alarmism created by the media can only help the containment (of course on the other hand it causes an irrational hysteria, but I guess you can't have one without the other, unless you're maybe Japan).

     

    That said, these measures have been taken too late. Controls were very scarce until a week ago. So scarce that an Italian guy denounced that he had to put himself under isolation for 2 weeks after coming from China in early february, as at the airpoirt no control was made and authorities just ignored him.
