Welcome to my world!

Think about Toy Story 4: popular by box office, critics, viewer ratings, yet despised on forums.

On another note, Wish was finally released on Tuesday. Overnight in the US, on Walmart.com both the DVD and Blu-ray (which comes with a DVD and Digital Code too) say that over 100 had been sold since yesterday, same as the Oppenheimer DVD. Migration only sold 50+ for DVD and Blu-ray.

The Wish 4k Blu-ray Steelbook is available again for shipping from Walmart, which claims it is in 200+ shopping carts, same for the ordinary Blu-ray. Not sure if that means anything, but Walmart thinks it sounds good. (I saw those by searching for "Disney Wish Blu Ray" with no hyphen)


Also, Wish was the best-selling Kids & Family DVD and Blu-ray on Amazon in the US.

Wow! That’s awesome! It’s making a comeback! But let’s see how well it does on DisneyPlus when it comes. Hopefully next month. In the meantime, I’ve got the Blu-ray/DVD of Wish.

Bizarrely, the 4K release of Wish won't be coming to Region 2 (UK/Europe) as a physical disc. (This also happened with Strange World.)

If I'm reading correctly, the 4K for Wish is region-free?

I think Disney is cutting back on 4K releases. For context, the UK didn't get a 4K release for Elemental:

The only results were the US releases.

For some reason Japan will get a bunch of 4K releases and bundles for Wish:

Yes! Finally! It’s revenge time!

I did not go to the theater to see this but am happy to give it a try for "free" on Disney+

The Wizard of Oz flopped also at the box office, and so did Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.

So did Madame Web

Really want to see Wish soon...I thought Dune was pretty awesome, but it's not Disney...

 

[Eric Graham]

I bought my art of Wish (even though I haven't seen the movie) today for 50% off...Hooray!

4K digital download for Wish now $9.99 in the US except for Google/YouTube(?)

Wish | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Purchase Wish on digital and stream instantly or download offline. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Wish” is a captivating, animated musical-comedy about the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force—a little ball...

Also, why does the description emphasize that Asha is human?

Soon, Asha and Star must face a formidable foe and prove that one brave human can make wondrous things happen.

Disney’s Wish will arrive on Disney+ on April 3, 2024.

About 4.5 months after opening in theaters.

Longer than the 90 day window of some titles, but not quite the 6 months+ some were advocating for here.

I'm very curious to know what sort of consensus (if any) emerges about Wish in, say, 5 years' time.

What will emerge is it bounced hard…rolled across the pavement…and into the storm drain

It’s the biggest disaster in Disney animation in decades…maybe ever?

I’d wait to see how it does on Disney+ before making any definitive pronouncements.

I didn’t say it was the ONLY disaster

But I had forgotten that one

Wish lost…like…ALOT of money

$250 mil without breaking a sweat

Nobody watched it, kid.

I’m not a film critic…and neither are you…but a $250 total gross means you can almost fit everyone who bought a ticket in a bus.

You do understand it was rejected outright, correct?

Wish is a historic financial disaster for the studio, no question.

But Strange World, also a tentpole Thanksgiving release, had a disastrous global box office of only $71M, BUT it had this so…

‘Strange World’ filmmakers talk diversity, box office: “It will mean a lot to a lot of people in the future”

With Disney's Strange World, animators looked to the past for creative inspiration.
