For a company like Disney, which operates in almost all sectors of the entertainment industry, the most important thing is to create a brand that can be maximized, regardless of success in theaters. It is clearly not the case of TGD. Obviously you can't create a winning brand for each film that is produced, partly because the market would not allow it. For example, Inside Out has had tremendous success during its release in theaters, but not being repeated in home video and merchandising, while Frozen is the perfect storm: winner at the boxoffice and record-breaker out of the cinemas.

So if the company does not see in a movie a potential for the born of a new successiful brand, it is much less interested in its promotion.

According to BOM The Good Dinosaur has made 321 M WW. I noticed from other topics, that Disney decided to give Zootopia the China release date instead of TGD. Can anyone make a sophisticed guess that how much TGD could have made in China? I have read that Pixar has fairly bad track reconrd in China, and TGD's RT are not very good (animationwise), so maybe 50 million USD?

This are mind-boggling numbers, and not in a good way. As a BO surprise it's an anti-SW7. Would never have banked a Pixar movie (and I didn't think it was really bad. 2nd grade Pixar but still B- imo) would struggle to reach 350m WW irrespective of WOM. Something went very wrong in the marketing.

To be fair, Disney gave TGD every chance to succeed. It had the Thanksgiving week release slot.

Curiously, 4 of the last 5 animated movies released on Thanksgiving week in recent years have been failures.

Good Dinosaur, Rise of the Guardians, Penguins of Madagascar, and Arthur Christmas all failed. Their openings were way too low to take advantage of the holiday legs.

Hopefully, Moana this year does better than those movies...

The Good Dinosaur is bland, unfunny and clumsy. And above all, it has got the most uninteresting characters Pixar has ever created. Its place at the box office, between recent second-tier animated films Cloudy and Hotel Transylvania, is just perfect.
