Looks like the mouse is taking it in the chops... From Deadline:
Dinosaurs Toss ‘Lightyear’ Out Of Orbit At Weekend Box Office As ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ Feasts On $68M+ 4-Day – Sunday AM Update
Blame the fact that it doesn’t appeal to girls, blame Disney+ for stealing family moviegoers, blame the lack of an ensemble Toy Story cast, heck, blame everything as Disney/Pixar’s Lightyear didn’t do its magic by internal studio or industry standards this weekend with $51M, close to a third below its lowest $70M pre-release projection.
Interesting in that the article runs all over the place trying to explain the poor weekend take. Not one mention of the lesbian characters or the WOKE-ness in the story line. The majority of people out there: #1) - don't give a flying fsck about other people's sexual orientation; #2) - regardless, do not want to have it shoved in their faces and #3) - do not want it as content in a family film.
Simple as that. Wonder if/when the groomers at Pixar will wake up and realize that they are in a very very small minority and not the center of everyone's universe. Narcissism is considered a mental disorder, not a virtue to be amplified.
