Too soon?
View attachment 756983

I must say too early to say that. Wish has only released recently in France, Austria and Germany (29 and 30 November) and Estonia (1 December) this week (alongside other markets that already released the film last week). Another major markets would not see Wish until this month and January next year. So, i would only considered that when the film has released in major Asian markets particularly Japan (where the film will release alongside the short "Once Upon a Studio" on December 15 that supposed to be happened in the US)

Anyway, I'm going to see Wish tomorrow with my best friend. And I'm doing very good avoiding any box office news. I'll be back here tomorrow night to write a review.

‘Wish’ is being appreciated by the young ones once they see the film from what I saw today where I work.

Older woman and a young girl about age 8 came into my store today.
I noticed them right away when they stepped in as the girl was clutching a small plush goat …not something you see everyday.

Went over to say hello, and then they surprisingly asked me if we had anything related to ‘Wish’.
Two items, yes….which I led them to, and it was fun hearing their reactions while viewing the items.
So it was nice to see some interest.

Despite all the seemingly poor box office returns and mediocre reviews, the target audience seems as delighted as always.

It'll probably do better on DisneyPlus.

A reaction/review from Moistcr1tkal, a famous Twitch streamer. I found it quite amusing.

Shout out to Estonia, population 1.3 Million! They may not be Latvia, but they try hard.

And they just might be the ones to put Wish over the top at the box office.

FWIW I hear the Estonians are really into butt jokes

1.3 million people. So, Van Nuys?

Trolls outgrossed Wish's Friday night box office total.

 

[Tha Realest]

Remember when The Care Bears Movie outgrossed The Black Cauldron back in 1985?, this is the equivalent of that embarrassing moment, a soulless sequel to Trolls beating out Disney's ambitious animated film is just sad

And this type of scenario played out a few times this year (like FNAF destroying Marvels)

I hate Trolls!

I hate Trolls!

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I mean the movie sequel called Trolls!

Sorry for the doom and gloom again. I just got back from seeing Wish, and I had one thing to say to those evil critics: I loved it! Lots of great Disney references, great songs, and great animation! I’ll say this, it’s not a perfect movie, but it’s a great film. I feel sad that Wish has been rigged by the stupid box offices. I guess it’ll just do better on DisneyPlus like Encanto did.

Wish Box Office Second-Weekend Drop Is Even Worse Than Disney's Biggest 2022 Flop

Disney's Wish, which already had an underwhelming opening weekend, posts a week 2 drop even worse than the studio's previous Thanksgiving flop.

• Wish, Disney's new animated movie, has struggled at the box office, earning only $19.7 million in its opening weekend and premiering at No. 3 over Thanksgiving weekend.
• In its second weekend, the movie is projected to earn an additional $7 million.
• This total marks a 64% drop, worse than Strange World, which was last year's Thanksgiving release from Disney.

But Wish is not doing good at the box office, so maybe it's better if Disney just give up movies theaters if Disney is no longer popular at theaters anymore. Beside, Wish will be better off being popular at DisneyPlus like Encanto did.

So one movie being bad this year means Disney should just give up theaters all together? What happens if nobody watches it on Disney+? Whats the excuse then?

There is simply not enough subscribers and ad space to make HM, The Marvels, Wish and all the other money losers from this year with Disney also pumping millions per episode of all of their other shows and content budgets.

It will tell a different story when it comes to International markets. Unless Aquaman II and Wonka released and leads the overseas box office, Wish may still lead in certain territories when it debuted.
