Walt Disney Studio’s animated film,\u00a0Strange World, <\/em><\/strong>bombed at the box office after its Thanksgiving release on 23 November. The animated flick is the first-ever film to introduce an openly LGBTQ teenage character, and despite rave reviews, it is expected to lose $100 million in its theatrical run, leaving Disney Studio to clean up mountains of red ink.<\/p>\n

The animated film had a dismal opening, earning just around $11.9 million from 4,174 theaters in North America.\u00a0Thanksgivings are usually the most popular time for Disney films, but that was not the case for\u00a0Strange World\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>as it had one of the worst opening weekends for any Disney film in terms of ticket sales.<\/p>\n

The film even failed to generate the expected bare minimum of $30-40 million during the Thanksgiving holidays, coming in with a mere total of $18.6 million from 23- 27 November.<\/p>\n

According to sources, given\u00a0Strange World<\/em><\/strong>‘s moderate reviews and lackluster audience reception, it is estimated to lose at least $100 million in its box office run.<\/p>\n

The film is also another attempt by a major Hollywood studio such as Disney to instill a progressive liberal agenda with the introduction of an openly gay main character. However, the LGBTQ character did not win over any fans nor did Strange World<\/em><\/strong>‘s lackluster storytelling.<\/p>\n
