It still stands, the movie is not crap. This is no chicken little.
So I again question why Disney did it dirty. This is a perfect movie for parents and kids. And even more so father and son.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
I only found out the movie existed because of people complaining about it in the Bob Chapek thread. That’s not a great sign as the father of 2 kids right in the target age range.

That's for sure. Chicken Little opened on November 4th, 2005 on a non-holiday 3 day weekend and grossed $40M+ ($60M+ in today's dollars). SW will be lucky to get to that opening over a 5 day (plus Tuesday night preview) holiday weekend.

These are just excuses man. Encanto didn't get any marketing either, and it came out while we were still in COVID mode. It still doubled this debut.

I am shocked it did that well. Now that was a horrid film.

I will not stand for Chicken Little slander. If you ignore the terrible dialogue and acting the story itself is sweet.
I’m at Strange World now waiting for showtime. We’re in one of the smallest theaters in the building and it’s maybe 15% full. I don’t know what gay anything has to do with the attendance for this movie but due to the lack of marketing there’s no one here.
Why on earth are the Happy Meal toys right now supporting a PG-13 movie that kids can’t see instead of the PG movie they can? Strange decisions.

I’ll be interested in your thoughts! Enjoy the movie.

A 66 on Metacritic is hardly great, especially considering how soft many professional critics are on Disney releases. Doesn’t sound like it got the raves needed to get a box office bump from childless animation agnostics.

Welp.
From Deadline.com:
However, there really wasn’t any excitement last night to see previews of Disney Animation’s Strange World, which as we told you doesn’t look so good for the holiday stretch. Off previews that started at 6pm, Strange World only did $800K, which is arguably the lowest for a Disney Thanksgiving theatrical release in the era of movie theaters holding early previews. That’s close to half of what Encanto did in its Tuesday preview a year ago with $1.5M, and that’s when there were more pandemic fears among moviegoers.

Strange World cost $180 million to make, BTW, not counting promotions.
Happy Turkey Day!
