Disney's "Strange World" with gay/biracial lead character flops, set to lose 100 mil)
https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/enterta...rything-sexual
The production, which carried a reported $180 million budget, grossed just $18.6 million in ticket sales in its first five days and $11.9 million over the weekend in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Movie Projected to Lose $100 Million
Sources told Variety that Strange World will likely lose at least $100 million in its theatrical run. The film will need to make at least $360 million just to break even, they estimated.
Some Hollywood insiders as well as several Disney fans took to social media to complain that the studio's marketing effort, led by departing CEO Bob Chapek, was poor and as a result led to its bleak opening.
Others used the box office numbers as an example of the expression "Get Woke, Go Broke." Adopted by conservatives, it expresses the view that corporations that embrace political correctness or cave to the demands of social justice activists will suffer financially as a result.
Parents in particular have noted the rise in LGBTQ themes in all of Disney's content over the last several years.
The Daily Mail noted the review of one parent who posted to Rotten Tomatoes: "If I want to teach my children about sex and or sexual preferences at 7 and 8 I would do it in my home. I don't need a Disney movie to help me out with it. STOP making everything sexual, it's unbelievable."
Another reviewer tweeted, "First Lightyear and now Strange World. Disney and Pixar releasing woke flops, one after the other. How many box office bombs before Disney learns?"
As CBN News reported earlier this month, "Strange World" marked a first for the company founded by Walt Disney in 1923. It features a gay teen romance.
Strange World's theatrical debut is on course to be one of the bigger bombs in the modern history of the Disney Animation studio. Its sinking comes as former Disney chief executive Bob Iger returns to the role he left in 2020. Iger is coming out of retirement to replace his successor in a move that shocked industry observers.
The leadership shakeup came after Disney showed a lower fourth quarter than expected, with stocks dropping more than 40% this year. Shares hit a 20-year low after the fourth-quarter report.

The sad thing is, they are prepared to lose money.
Think about it, all this woke trash flops, none of it sells well or makes money, they desecrate huge franchises like star wars, star trek, marvel, sure fire money makers.
But they don't care because it simply isn't about money.
The most profitable film in years was top gun maverick. The most watched streaming show this year was not Lord of the rings or Game of thrones, it was cobra kai a ****ing karate kid legacy show that isn't woke.
In any same world the woke trend would die because it just loses money.
But again it's not about money, it's about social change and they will keep pushing it at all costs, because as they inch further and further left, even if its slow, it NEVER swings back.
It's a war of attrition where Conservative way of life is being slowly pushed over a cliff. And they will keep pushing at ANY cost.

Do these woke movies ever actually make any money?
Remember that Buzz Lightyear movie from 2022? Should've been the easiest slam dunk of an easy summer blockbuster movie you could take your kids to see and enjoy the nostalgia of it as a parent, and they ruined it by inserting LBGT bullchit into it.

all the nerds, *******s, LGBTQ, trannies grew up and are the ones who took jobs designing and creating this ****. C-suites need to step up and put these *******s in their place and throw their ideas in the trash, tell them to get in line.

Don't really care about them teaching the woke agenda because that is what the world is becoming.
What's crazy is that it is close to $200/day to visit their theme parks lol

I have a 6-yo who watches Disney+ daily and we didn't even know this movie was coming out much less that it has any of this gay stuff. Seems like Disney dropped the ball in promoting this one regardless of whatever woke agenda it may or may not push.

And I love how you think you're insulting me. I'd rather be unemployed and rot than work at this point in life. Why should I work? Its a scam. At least now I collect some benefits.
