Both Strange World and Lightyear were really cute and did not deserve to bomb. It's a shame. But not everything will smash.

[JustHoran]

Disney can afford bomb after bomb and will be just fine

[LustSpell]

Lightyear tanking that hard is so surprising tbh

[Beyonceist]

No talent, no creativity, no originality LOST

[June]

Pretty sure Amsterdam was more of an Margot Robbie movie than Taylor lol

 

Had to google Devotion, weird to see such a unknown movie losing so much money

[fridayteenage]

Two margot leads wow

[Dancehall Queen]

Strange World was sent to die but it’s pretty good.

Margot sweetie

Not for long.. The spiderman money can last for so long and they had more than a handful of flops in the last couple of years.. 

 

It's not looking good so far

[Stepfon]

Well, at least Margot will have a better year this year. 

[SoldierofLove]

I don’t think I’ve even heard of Strange World before this thread. It looks cute. I might watch it!

 

Lightyear fell off my radar but I’m still planning to watch it at some point. 

[lmnoc1]

Strange World is such a good movie 

[lmnoc1]

It's sad that Disney might change strategy after their LGBT elements making both Strange World and Lightyear receiving such big backlash

Babylon did not deserve to bomb

How could I forget all the attacks Lightyear received. I remember turning on the radio one morning (a local rock station) and they were talking about the supposed gay propaganda, what did people think, they all said (through WhatsApp audios) that they did not agree with the "imposition" of lgbt themes on children. I was very disappointed with the people in my city. But I should not have been surprised if I have experienced a lot of homophobia

Margot dominates

Barbie will be another one perhaps

[Gorjesspazze9]

It’s pretty bad. But they also had several of the biggest movies of the year thanks to Marvel and Avatar.  Disney is fine. They just really need another Pixar hit or better Disney animated originals. Encanto lowkey kinda been carrying them this decade

Babylon was a cringe fest all over 
Damien doesn't know what to do with his career 

[elevate]

I am certain Strange World was dumped with no promo because of a gay lead. The film was cute and would have done well with the typical Disney machine behind it. Hopefully Iger can fix his predecessor's mess.

[Billionaire]

Margot better pray Barbie is a certified smash 

[HASHTAGPOW]

The Margot curse
