    Wish | Walt Disney Animation Studios | November 22, 2023 | Chris Pine plays a baddie DILF, new trailer has dropped, reactions are reactions

    in Box Office Discussion

    Posted

    Watched Wish earlier today and as someone who was initially pretty excited for this movie, I can’t say that it’s RT score isn’t deserved…

     

    Disney was so focused on using Wish to commemorate their past successes that they forgot the main reason why most of those movies were successful - a compelling story. And a compelling story this does not have. Instead we got a pretty lifeless, formulaic and uninspired movie that just made me wish I was watching one of their actual classics. Very disappointed.

    I’ve been following Wish closely since it was first announced last September and it’s been one of my most anticipated movies of 2023… so even with all the craziness and unpredictability we've seen this year from the movie industry/box office, Wish ending up with a rotten critics score and what’s looking like a subpar box office run tops this year's WTF list for me. Just very disappointing.

     

    Regardless, I have tickets for Tuesday and I hope I’ll still enjoy the movie.

    Yeah, the WOM has been great and this should be another $150m+ animation. Poor Elemental, the great hold suddenly collapse facing TMNT. Making me wonder just how vulnerable the animation has become when face up against competition in this marketplace. Why can't both doing great?

     

     

    There's just too many movies being released each week for Elemental to keep a good number of theatres. But its done well enough DOM regardless, OS will take it the rest of the way

    Tony Chambers, Disney’s head of theatrical distribution, admitted that the opening-weekend numbers for “Elemental” were disappointing, but that even then there were signs the movie might enjoy a longer run. That included overwhelmingly favorable audience scores that were far more positive than early reviews, and a relative dearth of animated competition until the latest “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie, which opens this week.

     

    “There was no way of sugarcoating a $30 million opening,” Chambers told CNN, while adding, “We knew the audiences loved it. … We’re seeing much longer legs on movies if the audience scores are good.”

     

    ... As for the question of profitability, which has dogged expensive summer releases like “The Flash” and the “Indiana Jones” sequel, as the aforementioned “Encanto” illustrated box office doesn’t tell the entire story. That’s because Disney relies upon its IP, or intellectual property, to generate a variety of benefits, driving traffic to Disney+, selling merchandise and providing characters for its theme parks.

     

    “We more than anyone can leverage our theatrical IP across all the various lines of business,” Chambers said. “We never look at it solely through the eyes of just box office.”

    I’ve seen some people say that if Captain Marvel got a boost from Endgame than how come Ant Man 2 didn’t. However, Ant Man 2 did get a boost obviously because Ant Man 3 declined 25% from Ant Man 2 despite being more important to the MCU as a whole.


    Ant Man 3 declined from 2 because it had arguably the worst WOM for an MCU movie. Not because it didn’t have the “Endgame boost”.

    Deadline is calling Mission in 3rd place at the box office. Angel Studios is trying to claim third with Sound of Freedom at $20.1M and reporting their weekend estimates hours after the industry publishes their results in the early AM. Realize Comscore is the police officer (among distributors) when it comes to reporting, and counts close to 100% of all theater grosses (at the end of the day, Comscore reports what distributors provide them after they tabulate the unmonitored locations). The industry average estimate for Sound of Freedom is $19M. There is no way a handful of mom and pop theaters which went unmonitored by Comscore collected $1M. Just no way. It’s not to say that Angel Studios doesn’t have a hit on their hands with a $100M-plus grossing title. But there’s some concern by rivals that there’s some puffing of numbers by this frosh distributor, and it’s not a case of Goliath versus David. Running total through weekend 3 is $123.6M, per industry estimates. Deadline is still looking into this to see where the extra $1M is coming from. We’ve asked Angel Studios to show us where the extra $1M is coming from.
