One, you missed the whole point of the post which was making fun of the RIDICULOUS concept that box office profit is somehow the measurement of a movie’s success and popularity. Two your math is wrong according to this thread.
Tangled cost 390 million with marketing and made 592. Disney keeps 277 of that with good splits (60% domestic, 40% foreign), that is a loss of 113 million dollars. Not sure how that means it made money at the box office in your world. Heck, you can even cut the marketing in half and it still lost 48 million so all satire aside, you are just factually wrong according to the numbers.
Sure, it eventually made money with home sales and merch post box office but we have been told that is not an acceptable way to make money and any movie that does not profit the company in the theater is a bomb. Based on those criteria, Tangled is a giant pile of trash and a failure.
I love it personally but thankfully I am not so limited and close minded that I can only define a movie by how much profit it made when in the theaters.
Also why do you keep bringing up Wish? What does that have to do with Tangled other than they both lost Disney money at the box office? Also, why is it then when people disagree with you do you assume they are mad over something they never even brought up or referenced? You may be doing some projecting.
As pointed out, Tangled is a mess of a situation and example because it ended up being the most expensive animated film of all time, and still to this date. It is that good, so it still turned out popular. It still made near 600 million worldwide.
Your insults are quite telling.
Never said Tangled was a flop. I never even said Encanto was.(beyond theatrically) What it is not, is it is not on the same level as Frozen or even likely Moana. You would certainly need your head checked if you think Encanto is as popular as Frozen is. Even now. That is what I originally responded to from another poster.
It is a box office thread. We are going by popularity of something...at the box office. So not sure why you are so frustrated about that all the time.
All your marketing numbers tossed in and yet. Tangled, as pointed out by others is still underutilized compared to its success and Encanto is merely just the newest good enough.
In Show business, things are only as good as the last thing a company did.
Encanto is just the only thing they can really go with, when the edict is parks must have IP. Everything else recent meh or otherwise is already happening.
If a 200 million dollar domestic and international 400 million total Princess movie came out from Disney this year, Encanto would be dropped like a sack of potatoes to something much smaller while new musical princess like movie took focus.
Tron got into the parks with a cloned rollercoaster because there were hopes of continuing that property. I don't think it takes as much as people think anymore when the edict is there.
Call me when Disney has an original animated film that gets over 100 million at the domestic box office in theaters.
They can't all be home or cult classics.
