I am sure plenty of it sells… Disney has a pretty sizable Lbgtq+ fan base…And as somebody who lived in the Orlando area there is decent size gay community there

I honestly don't understand why this movie had to cost slightly less than The Little Mermaid and The Lion King. Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast had a budget of $95 million and $160 million respectively and there was no reason Snow White couldn't have the same budget. And while I don't care for these remakes both of them look better than Snow White (and Little Mermaid for that matter) in terms of production design. They should have found a beautiful forest location and film there instead of horrendous CGI everywhere.

Cost increases happen for many reason, but in this case a lot of it was attributed to production delays due to the pandemic, and then later the strikes which delayed any reshoots. Had the delays not happened it probably would have been closer to BatB.

That image is hilarious. Late capitalism, baby!

Whether you find it hilarious or not, Disney is not shying away from representation despite some who claim they are backing away from it.
I'm sure most if it is turned into bullets with which to shoot puppies.
Any other things you're sure of?

Exactly. It was a 4 second scene where Wade introduces his sister and her girlfriend. Who sit two feet apart from each other.
It wasn't quite the Sapphic version of Splendor In The Grass, was it?

Nor was the blink-and-you’d-miss-it kiss in Lightyear.It wasn't quite the Sapphic version of Splendor In The Grass, was it?

Better than Pixie Dust.
I believe Wicked took back the top spot at the box office from Moana 2 the other day.

It did for the midweek lull, possible for Moana to take it back for the weekend.
I could see Wicked beating it - it has such a momentum right now.

You are right, it's anyone's guess what the budget was on it. I've seen it reported as at the high end before reshoots. I'd be surprised if we ever see any real numbers on it. They do not want those out at all. If it flops hard, the less financial info out there the better. Even if it does well, they don't want the narrative, well it still didn't profit because the budget was out of control. As an example, mermaid with a reasonable budget does ok financially.

Thanks for explaining. I keep seeing this referenced here regarding Elemental, but have no recollection of it. If not for this thread/board I would have no idea there was even anything like that in the movie.Exactly. It was a 4 second scene where Wade introduces his sister and her girlfriend. Who sit two feet apart from each other.

That is why for discussion purposes it’s best to just use the $213.9M number as it’s the closest we’ll come to any real number for this movie as that is at least verifiable through financial reports.

There was an article quoting the voice actor about Wade's sibling/sister being nonbinary, but it's NEVER stated in the movie that the character is nonbinary. Furthermore, Wade uses "her" as a pronoun to discuss the nonbinary character in question.

My thoughts exactly.
Eh. I think both movies will each get $500M domestic.

Doesn’t change the fact that the character is presented as queer: “Anyway, that's my little sib, Lake, and her girlfriend, Ghibli." Had Wade used “their”, it would actually have made Lake’s queerness less obvious (since audiences may have interpreted the character as male).

I think a lot of things are amplified here that have very little bearing on the real world. To read certain people’s posts, you’d think Lightyear failed on the basis of a fleeting kiss in a brief flashback sequence, and not because it was dull and joyless.
