The Thanksgiving box office has brought a lot of good and a lot of bad for Disney. While Marvel Studios’ \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d is continuing to perform strongly with an estimated 5-day total of $65 million, the Disney Animation newcomer \u201cStrange World\u201d is turning out to be one of the biggest bombs in the history of the studio’s founding division. <\/p>\n
Projected for an already poor 5-day opening of $30 million, \u201cStrange World\u201d will now be lucky to even hit $20 million for the extended period after making just $11.2 million between Wednesday and Friday. With a reported budget of $120-130 million, the film’s performance relative to its price tag is drawing comparisons to Disney’s infamous 2002 bomb \u201cTreasure Planet,\u201d a film that earned just $16.6 million during its Thanksgiving opening and went on to make just $110 million worldwide against its $140 million budget before inflation. <\/p>\n
But at least \u201cTreasure Planet\u201d earned an A- from audience on CinemaScore. What’s much more shocking than the opening weekend numbers for \u201cStrange World\u201d is its CinemaScore grade of B from opening day audiences. It is the first Walt Disney Animation film to fail to earn an A or A- on CinemaScore. On Comscore\/Screen Engine’s PostTrak, the movie earned a somewhat better result with a 4\/5 score on CinemaScore, with women giving the movie big thumbs up with a 91% overall positive rating while men over 25 were far more tepid with a 66% overall positive rating.<\/p>\n
Between 2016 and 2019, the Thanksgiving box office was lifted by a strong opening from a new Disney animated movie. With \u201cStrange World\u201d failing to carry that load, overall grosses for the weekend are set to finish at $137 million, below the $142 million earned last Thanksgiving at the onset of the COVID-19 Omicron wave, with \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d contributing about 48% of that overall gross. <\/p>\n
