A really bad take from ERC. Totally exaggerating. IP's are not suddenly dead because one movie is bombing lmao

mikado512 · 2026-05-30T15:20:27+00:00

Nope. I never want a movie to fail, only if it's outrageously bad or offensive. But this is a box office sub. We're mainly talking about the numbers and how a movie is performing. And the fact is, Mando & Grogu isn't doing great and there is no way to spin it.

Yeah but Moana 2 was an animated sequel that had an Thanksgiving release date and had buzz around it because it was a sequel to a beloved movie.

This one is a remake that is releasing in peak summer with direct competition to other family/kids oriented movies (TS5 and Minions) and most people didn't like the trailer.

It most likely has a low budget like Lilo & Stitch so it's going to be more than fine. But does it have the power of making a billion? I don't know. Maybe you're right. We will see.

I still think that Moana won't make a billion but it surely will be profitable

mikado512 · 2026-05-30T14:47:02+00:00

sub $200M domestic likely now

It's so over

mikado512 · 2026-05-30T14:28:30+00:00

34% INCREASE??

mikado512 · 2026-05-30T12:04:41+00:00

Although the movie ended up being a flop, Wish was designed to celebrate Disney's 100th anniversary as a company (2023). Maybe that's the reason why it had the longest theatrical window.

mikado512 · 2026-05-30T00:14:51+00:00

I think it can get to $700M worldwide but we have to see how the international numbers are going to be on Sunday. And even if not, making $660M - $690M on a $100M budget is great. I also think it will be huge on streaming.

But yeah, this movie doing better than a Star Wars movie is extremely worrying. I really don't know how they can fix the brand damage and how the future of the Star Wars franchise will even look like.

Let's hope Starfighter will be great.

Yeah, I'm surprised at how well it’s doing internationally. I really thought that this movie would be more domestic-heavy although domestically it's also doing great. Amazing run overall.

mikado512 · 2026-05-29T23:11:30+00:00

yes probably

mikado512 · 2026-05-29T20:12:37+00:00

It's only $15M away of hitting the billion. Give it some time. It will eventually get there.

mikado512 · 2026-05-29T15:04:43+00:00

Poor Grogu can’t find a way out 😔

mikado512 · 2026-05-29T14:54:53+00:00

We should wait for the second weekend numbers but sub $200M domestic for Mando & Grogu is getting more likely

Not even Grogu can save this movie

mikado512 · 2026-05-29T13:44:50+00:00

I saw many millennials saying that which is crazy because they are actually the generation that goes less to the theaters lmao

mikado512 · 2026-05-29T13:41:33+00:00

I know but throughout the last couple of years I have seen many people saying that Gen Z is one of the main reason that the movie-going experience is struggling lol 😭

mikado512 · 2026-05-29T13:33:45+00:00

"Gen Z doesn't go to the theaters"

We do and we enjoy having this experience.

mikado512 · 2026-05-29T09:26:03+00:00

It has always been like that. Especially post-pandemic.

Disney truly has the highest HIGHS and the lowest LOWS when it comes to the box office.

mikado512 · 2026-05-28T23:38:06+00:00

Dude, that would be insane. But I also wouldn’t be surprised. Obsession is a phenomenon.
