Like, I get it.  I mean, I really do.  At the same time I think sometimes this board falls in love with The Math a little too much and forgets to take a look At The Big Picture.   The Math Says: Disappointing rise, therefore we will be Put Out. The Big Picture Says: MY FUCKING GOODNESS, NWH IS STOMPING ON EVERYTHING AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE SITUATION.   Now I realize as a Big Math Nerd that this is near heresy, but sometimes one should probably tel

This folks.

Lmao. That's strictly box office nerd OCD territory. 

Hardly arbitrary, which you know. $100 million has been the blockbuster mark for years, among everyone from journalists to executives, not just "box office nerds". And another $10 million at the domestic box office wouldn't have just allowed it to hit the milestone, it would have been another $5 million in revenue back to disney.

It's not exactly arbitrary. Hitting certain milestones can mean more when it comes to tv airings and such, or at least they used to. If Disney doesn't plan for it to air anywhere other than Disney+, then those milestones might not matter much anymore.

I agree with the previous posts that Disney cares quite a bit about hitting $100m. Remember how they dragged A Wrinkle in Time over that mark back in 2018? They also tried to pull Christopher Robin across, but didn't quite manage to pull it off.

yeah IDK...

 

Encanto's probably going to just air on freeform which they own. Does it affect advertising rates? Who knows?

If Disney or any other studio didn't care about milestones we wouldn't have so many fudge jobs to push this or that film over a certain mark.

Is Encanto really going to get millions to subscribe to Disney+? Cause otherwise I think they definitely care about BO since it had a $120 mil budget

At this point it's about maintaining a large subscriber base in the first place, not just growing it. Consistently dropping major releases on the platform, be them original series, original films or theatrical films moving to the platform, is how you do that.

 

But yes, Disney should have at least waited until New Year's Day to put Encanto on Disney+. Definite echoes of Universal's mind boggling decision to put Halloween Kills on Peacock the same day as its theatrical release, leading to 1.2 million accounts (not people) watching it on opening weekend alone. Literally causing it to finish at $92 million and miss $100 million domestically.
