Box Office below expectations
What happened, hollywood was expecting 80m, but weekend will be mid 50m at best, must be damn Putin again.
shareYou are witnessing the total collapse of Pixar.
No longer "events", new Disney/Pixar films are now something most people will check out for "free" on Disney+(which is also losing tons of money).
Disney+ seems to be doing fine.

"Despite this, Disney Plus is actually losing the company money at a greater clip than it was before. Disney says this is thanks to higher costs for production, advertising, and technology. Those costs seem unlikely to go down, and raising prices, like Netflix did, could cut off its subscriber growth. All that put together makes it obvious why Disney is looking at creating an ad-supported tier sooner rather than later."
shareI don't know if Disney is losing money but I do agree Pixar's once perfect record of quality animation is ruined.
Think about this. Younger people are coming in and injecting their brainwashed political ideology into once impeccable family entertainment. This is going to get even more nasty as this decade continues.
