It's not a bad song, but not what I was hoping for. I like my villain songs to have more of a sinister vibe. "Be Prepared," "Poor Unfortunate Souls" and "Friends on the Other Side" managed to be fun, while also fairly dark. "This is the Thanks I Get" feels like one of Sharpay's numbers from High School Musical.

Depends on how much it cost to make. Im just flabbergasted at how high the budgets are for their films these days...

Here's how Wish compares to 2016's Moana, adjusted for inflation because 2016 dollars are notably smaller for all of us.

This is assuming that Wish comes in mid-range on its current box office forecasts domestically. In this scenario listed below, Wish will lose approximately $17 Million at the global box office.

Only losing 17M is actually REALLY GOOD compared to many Disney's movies lately....
Therefore Wish will be a HUGE SUCCESS as Disney views it.

What is the uh oh for… if Wish grosses are near the upper reaches of the domestic total ranges then it will be up there with Moana’s box office take… and I believe most people consider that film to be a success

Moana cost $50M less to make, inflation has increased a lot in the years since, and it’s not going to get IMAX screens thanks to Napoleon and Beyoncé. I don’t think it will match Moana’s totals not even accounting for inflation.

The thing that has struck me the most about all the clips and trailers is that Asha is from a Mediterranean culture but comes across as a Rapunzel/Anna hybrid, just with darker hair and skin. And Chris Pine's character is just, well, an animated Chris Pine. There's no cultural connection except for the landscape.

Here’s a crazy idea:

Disney wants and frankly EXPECTS $1,000,000,000 box office for this…on the low end.

But let’s lay down some cover fire a month before open, shall we? 🙄

The budget I saw Moana cost 175 million and it made 248….. so if Wish were to reach 289 that is 40 million above Moana… these are domestic only numbers too… not worldwide…so even with inflation that led me to conclude that if it were to get that high… it wouldbe on par with Moana… at any rate those projections don’t scream that Disney is in trouble with Wish for me

Really?

Same ole ____, huh?


Gonna tell me how much Disney charges Disney for Disney plus too?

The shareholders love that. 👍🏻


How bout this: let’s see what the numbers are? And then you can tell me $1 is a huge success and I can tell you not covering the budget and marketing is a loss?

…We’ll try sumpin different this time around the wheel 😎

The fabulous The Numbers site allows you to toggle on the "Inflation" numbers to get to a current analogy for financials.

Here's the Adjusted For Inflation numbers for 2016's Moana, compared to 2023's estimated Wish numbers (again)...

Adjusted for inflation, Wish is tracking well below Moana for domestic opening weekend and domestic total theatrical run. When you add in a similarly scaled overseas box office to that, Wish does more than $150 Million less than Moana at the global box office. And thus, Wish fails to break even and loses money for Disney in its theatrical run.

And this is how they celebrate their 100th Anniversary? :oops:

That’s pretty impressive…considering Moana overcame that still “hide your children” cringy SHINY song 😬
