- The animated film, “Strange World,” featured stars such as Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid and Lucy Liu, and had a budget of $120 million to $130 million, according to the entertain news outlet Variety.
- “Strange World” had Disney’s second-worst opening weekend in modern history, with the pandemic-era release of “West Side Story” grossing $10.5 million.
- Disney originally projected the movie to earn $30 million to $40 million over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
- Film critic Jordan Woodson argues the poor attendance is not because of the main character’s sexuality, saying, “it’s going to flop because they didn’t market it at all.
