Agree. Curious on what the budget is
Knowing Illumination, around $70-80M.

Are we sure it wasn't just a case of the unwanted Lightyear being the wrong film to release in theatres? It got beat by Encanto and Turning Red pretty fast on the Disney+ weekly charts (making the decision to send TR straight to streaming all the more infuriating).
Unfortunately, Stranger Things doesn't seem to be an Encanto or Turning Red.
You're right. There was also that.

You're certainly not wrong. Disney now has to condition families out of staying at home for these movies.

The ONE thing this might have in its favor is being the first family animated film since DC League of Super Pets.
-
The only consolation for WB is that the budget for DWD is so low that it shouldn't be hard to at least break even.
-
Even so, probably just him being proud of the work he and the other actors put into the movie. In either case, it likely won't matter here.

It's Illumination. At worst, it's going to be super generic but harmless.

Sure, but that doesn't mean the early D+ release didn't cripple Encanto's holiday legs.
Sing 2 was just released a few weeks later and was able to reach $400m WW.
Sing 2 also had the advantage of holiday legs.

No one cares about covid anymore. Biden just announced that the pandemic is over.
Animated movies can still explode as we saw with Minions 2 this summer and also Sing 2.
Raya was premier access/theaters release during when pandemic was raging.
Encanto made $96m DOM/$230M WW, but blame that on Disney stupidly announcing before the release that it was coming out on D+ after 30 days, which really kneecapped its boxofice run. Tons of families stayed home after hearing that news I imagine. If Disney does that for Strange World...
Encanto came out when families and kids weren't vaccinated in mass.

It looks fun. Though I'm not exactly optimistic about its chances at the box office.

why would guardians 3 have such a huge drop from the previous 2 films?I misunderstood the original post.

It's been their staple IP for 50 years. I don't see them giving it up, either.

that's not true , my 70 year old mom knows out his troubles and doesn't follow movies, but with how fast the news cycle goes most have forgotten
Which leads to the Catch 22:
1. Continue to delay the movie and you risk more controversies coming out about Miller.
2. Push the movie forward and Miller's antics will become more known to public and cause more problems with promoting the movie.

By thanksgiving everyone will know this is coming. They marketed the shit out of TFA and I expect the same here.
Most likely.

Mario is probably going to get to $200M first. Then Mission: Impossible, and then Spider-Verse. And maybe behind that I'd say Elemental has a 50/50 shot at hitting that number, too.

Illumination which has become the biggest in animation at the box office which unlike WB knows how to market family films, which has not had an animated film over 275M (only three of their films have gone under 200M (Sing 2 got hurt mainly due to Omicron)). Also Mario will skew much younger than Pikachu mainly because it’s wholly animated and will likely from a marketing perspective focus more on the comedy. Mario also benefits from being the first family/animated film since the holidays with no major competition to hurt it. I’d be shocked if it did under Sonic 2.
Mario also won't have to be dealing with as much competition as Pikachu was.

I think we're looking at a Mr. & Mrs. Smith scenario where the behind the scenes drama actually makes people more interested in watching it.
-
None of these are guarantees but they do seem like the most likely candidates.
This year:
Black Adam
Puss in Boots
2023:
Ant-Man 3
Guardians 3
Fast X
The Little Mermaid
Across the Spider-Verse
Elemental
Dune Part 2
