WDAS and Pixar individually in the last 5 years (4 each) have also released more original storytelling animated films than the company did from 1937-1994 (could probably go later as 2 of the originals are anthology films and the Lion King is a loose adaptation of Hamlet)
Only 2nd place on the global box office after 6 days among the Hollywood Studio releases.
That's good news for Disney. I made my case already that I had no idea how the international box office would go, but that it was important for them (and the ideas of these remakes) that it picks up more than it was opening weekend. Looks like that is starting to occur.
Two more bombs maybe inbound…we’ll have to watch

Your buddy TP has been saying this week that overseas is underperforming (lagging), which as I posted its actually not.
Lag compared to the domestic total? Or underperforming in their markets?
That’s why the “buts” can really take a break on this
Its the former rather than the latter, and agree its not troubling at all. As @BrianLo mentioned I believe its a misunderstanding of trying to compare x with y and expecting the same outcome immediately. Which as we have seen over the last few years just doesn't always equate. In the end Stitch just like many movies will have a larger percentage of its WW total being from international, the only question is how much. In the end I don't think it really matters, as both domestic and international are strong with this one, which is a good thing in my opinion.
Most sites post around the same time (full daily numbers between 12-2pm PST) as its when the studios and other outlets provide them the information. So both The Numbers and BoxOfficeMojo update within an hour or so of each other.
There's actually a lot of progressive people who dislike the ending of the remake and criticizing it as anti-indigenous/pro-colonialism. I'm sure that wasn't at all Disney's intent, but people are reading it that way.I predict Mufasa-esque legs for Stitch.
There is still a hate campaign for this one. It’s all over facebook. Can’t really say why without a minor spoiler about the ending, but suffice to say it involves a lot of pearl clutching and woke accusations.
They just look for it everywhere now. Especially Disney movies. Any character who is not a cretin is now “woke” because they don’t know what that word means.
