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

[Spideeey24]

They spend so many money on merchandise and advertisements, imagine if this falls short on the box office? Might get ugly in the Disney office

Seems like it was an error (makes no sense with half the reviews so far being in the red either). It's at 53 now

2 reds would do that. 63 was right off the first 4 reviews (2 green, 1 yellow, 1 red).

 

edit: ... and its down to 51

This seems like it's going to be Rotten given how underwhelming the reception has been so far. Really wild how day-and-date Five Nights at Freddy's is looking to finish with a higher total than anything from the prime month of November. Potentially December too at the rate we're going.

MIgration is gonna get better reviews than Wish.

[Liiviig 1998]

Another dissapointnent from  WDAs  and Disney animation in general.  

[John Marston]

Holy shit! This has to be really bad to get a rotten. Even Lightyear and Strange World were fresh!

[titanic2187]

Wish getting meh review means higher chance for Heron to win Best animated feature. I am totally ok with that outcome.

[Tina]

I don’t think it’s getting rotten. I checked rotten tomatoes reviews before the site glitched. It’s looking like it will around the 70s, similar to Elemental.

What critics want from a family movie may be very different from what families want out of it. Or are we acting like elemental hasn't just happened? There's also the fact that people may enjoy the music.

 

If you were hoping for a masterpiece I understand the disappointment, but if you were hoping for a BO hit, I'd wait until it comes out to see how it actually does before declaring anything...

[Bob Train]

Terrible start for a Disney film. But let's see how WOM is first before making any premature declarations about its box office.

If it’s rotten, don’t think it has enough to get an OW in which it can leg it out to a hit. This feels like a fundamentally different ballpark than Elemental. I’m curious to see how audience WOM turns out tomorrow for my screening but there’s seems to be right now, little to feel optimistic about.

I always thought it looked derivative, but usually critics eat up mediocre Disney movies like Ralph 2, Brave, or Raya. I am really curious as to why that didn't happen this time.

[ThomasNicole]

64% already? Yeah this is going rotten 

 

But let’s wait the audience scores

[Morieris]

We have 10 seats for our showing for the preview tomorrow. Looks like one family of 5 and a lot of individuals.

Funnily enough Wish currently has a higher average grade than Elemental.

I think the general critics are giving the fair assessment for most of the movie. If isn't masterpiece but at least it is solid crowd-pleaser, generally the less picky critics would give it a pass. The problem has been with the top critics who have been dragging down the score for a lot of movie, especially tentpoles.
