That's really the only logical way to interpret the statement. It's interesting no actual example of this "unsafe" content has been offered.

It’s an overstatement. You may not like certain content but that doesn’t make it unsafe. Still waiting for an answer.

I thought it looked fine enough until I saw the last trailer of Asha singing “Rosas.” Not sure I’m liking those backgrounds. Looks very flat in a way that never bothered me with 2D animation. Can’t quite articulate why yet. Might get that $90 refund and take the family to see Trolls 3 instead. The kids are more excited for that one anyway even if I’d rather see an original movie like Wish.
EDIT: ok took me a couple minutes… I think 3D animation in front of flat backgrounds doesn’t work. With 2D everything blends so it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. This approach makes it feel like the characters are dancing on paper as opposed to being in a real 3D world. Really bold choice for the movie celebrating their 100th anniversary.

The October 1962 issue of National Geographic had an article on Disneyland that ended with a joke about how they might one day build a Disneyland for children because so many adults visited the park.

Except that was 1962 not 1972 or 1982 or 1992.

That's bad. Five Nights at Freddy's did $150 million in it's opening weekend AND was on Peacock at the same time.Disney's wish anticipated to make 50 Million at the debut at the box office:

Maybe Disney should do that with Wish?

That’s kinda what Iger didn’t want to happen. Plus the Black Widow lawsuit, and the premium access was because of the pandemic.

Wish is a completely original film… no original movies typically open huge these days… it takes word of mouth… I don’t know how much money it will make and if Wish will be consider a success, but Zi do know it will make more money then Freddy in theaters
Except 5 nights of Freddy is a franchise fans have been wanting to see in film form… it also benefited being a Horror movie opening on Halloween weekend

Wish is part of the Disney Princess franchise that no one has been waiting for except on Disney+.
Wish is projected at $50million opening holiday weekend. FNAF did $150million opening holiday weekend. Also FNAF was made for $25 million while Wish at over $200 million. FNAF return on investment was 3x. That means wish would need 1.5 billion at opening to equal the return so quickly.

Why are Disney fans angry at Disney for spending money to make artistically superior films? “Bloated budgets” are part and parcel of Disney’s animation history, associated with some of the most venerable films ever produced by the studio (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty).
I don’t know if it will the same profit in relation to its budget… or enough to be consider a success against Freddy’s… but I am just going by dollars The theaters
make and it will be more
I would think Freddy’s won’t make much more now that we are past Halloween. It is also a movie that fans seem to like but everybody else does not
Wish has holiday season to go through without much competition… it will depend on word of mouth rather it will be a success or not

Freddie’s is apparently down 78% this weekend and it is only 30% positive on Rotten Tomatoes, which I think is generous because I saw it, and it’s just not good at all.
Well, out of control budgets also are associated with stuff like The Black Cauldron, Treasure Planet, and Strange World.

Would you rather Disney always played it safe?
Still doing great considering it is number one and is wildly known to be available on Peacock, and it is post Halloween Pre Thanksgiving release time.
Audience score is much higher than the RT critic score.
i saw it too and I agree
Does not mean it was good… if it was a better movie it would of held on at least a little bit better… 78% is one of the worst declines I have seen… but it still made a decent profit…so good on it
You're comparing one movie's global with another's domestic.
It's called front loaded in the industry. I don't know many horror movies that could hold on when having a record October opening. It premiered with fandom and was a PG13 horror release before Halloween falling on an early Tuesday.
I also don't know of a bigger opening for a same Day Streaming platform.
Also the most streamed media on Peacock. And it still did bangers in theaters.
Some of you downplaying it are the same ones who overhype Encanto's release under similar circumstances.
