The Reason Strange World Bombed At The Box Is Pretty Clear

Holidays the Disney way. The entertainment mega-house usually finds a way to serve up some big-screen family fun during Thanksgiving week, and 2022 is no different. But what may surprise moviegoers is the holiday box office numbers coming in for "Strange World," Disney Studios' latest animated offering.

What do you think contributed most to Strange World flopping?

[gboy]

I didn't even know this movie existed. Until now.

Y'all should be honest almost everything Disney released this year was a flop

[awkwardarie]

It's really a shame that Disney doesn't seem to really have that much faith in their original stories that aren't tied to another source material. That and Treasure Planet is a movie that needs more love and attention. It just reached it's 20th anniversary this year.

[danieleberly]

I didn’t even know it released yet. I literally haven’t seen any promotion for it at all since it was announced

[ladyseeker]

One thing that I noticed in these last movies is that the characters look all the same. It's like they used the same character model and only changed some snall traits.

[bigmagictent]

Disney no longer knows how to promote anything without an established fanbase. They've lost that skill. They spend a fortune on winning the approval of a small number of zealous people which results in a random chance of success. The Mouse House is in trouble and the weakness that needs to be resolved is the promotion of original content.

[shadowfoxx]

A) they didn't advertise it
B) it looked kinda boring
C) it's not part of an existing franchise

[rampagephoenix]

The fact that Disney hardly gave this movie much advertisement support tells me that they WANTED to sabotage this movie's success from the start.
I just watched it today, and honestly, I thought it was pretty decent.
Hopefully, things will change for the better now that some changes in leadership has been recently made.

I took a good healthy dump this morning and it looked so much better than anything Disney has pooped out lately that I almost hated to flush it away!

[themouthofsauron]

Lack of promotion? That's BS, this was advertised on every commercial break the NFL had this past month.😂😂

[lifeworstgameever]

Wow, not even once mentioned gay teen romance... I don't know many parents who want to PAY for their young child watch gay teens, yet along talk with them about this stuff in their age. It can get quite confusing for 6 - 8 year old, don't you think? Its quite a no surprise if you will make niche movie for niche audience...

[draconiansoul]

The only thing I heard about this movie was its had Disney's first gay character...again...for like the 100th time.

If I know more about a characters sexuality, straight or otherwise, more than the general plot cause of how you advertised, that's a problem, and probably a major reason why it wasn't financially successful

[nightmarefanatic]

One of the thing that sucks the most about this failing is it's going to be used as an excuse to not make any original movies. "Oh, people didn't like Strange World, time to fart out more MCU trash and awful LA remakes."

[austinb]

The majority of people don’t want to constantly have a sociology lesson in their entertainment. Kinda tiring already.

[idanthyrsus]

I'm just not interested in ultra far left neo fascist ideology. At all.

[matacurrei]

It's not the wokeims nonsense, is the repetitive of the animation stylish, same dump faces and utterly over exploited expressions, same bulky "strong woman" same everything, weak plots and so on.
Pixar, in my opinion make just a few "good movies" (and toy story wasn't one of them) the rest rely on the marketing and the name build in the release of the initial good ones.

[drinksomewaterfirst]

It did not failed because of lack of promotion, it failed because this movie doesn’t know its target audience. Also the characters design sucked they look like characters in a cover of a cereal box and what the hell are those noses.

[tremerefury]

A big part of why it's flopped is that there was virtually no promotion for the movie.

I had no idea this movie was coming out this year, let alone that it was already out. I vaguely remember seeing a teaser when it was announced forever ago.
