Strange World had the lowest Audience Score in Disney animation history. In previews, “Strange World” only made US$800,000 dollars.
Yesterday was a half-day for most students. They should have flocked to see “Strange World,” Disney’s new animated film. This does not bode well for the Thanksgiving holiday. At this rate, “Strange World” could become Disney’s lowest-grossing animated film — a family film — in a very long time.
To put things in perspective, “Lightyear,” which was considered a Disney bomb earlier this year, had a $5 million preview night and went on to earn $118 million domestically (and $100 million internationally).
Many potential viewers may believe they will wait to see “Strange World” on Disney Plus. If this is the case, theatres may be more trouble than previously thought.
The 61st animated film from the studio, directed by Dom Hall and Qui Nguyen, follows the Clades family as they explore the mysterious planet Avalonia.
In the run-up to its release, the film sparked outrage in several countries due to its on-screen LGBTQIA+ representation. It also received a mixed critical reception early in its theatrical run, with a 75% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It is difficult to predict whether Strange World will thrive as the holiday season approaches, but its Audience Score may indicate that the future is not so bright for Disney’s latest.
Strange World Gets B Rating
Disney’s latest blockbuster, Strange World, received the lowest Audience Score in the Studio’s illustrious animation history.
Moviegoers gave the Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid, and Gabrielle Union-led film a “B” CinemaScore, putting it on par with films like Amsterdam, Tenet, and Micheal Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
As previously stated, this is the lowest grade for a Disney animated film and the only one that falls below an “A-.” Beauty and the Beast, released in 1991, is the first Disney film to receive this rating.
