• Disney eats itself alive in the worst way possible as one bomb passes a newer and even bigger bomb at the box office

    It would be fair to say that Disney isnAt having the greatest of years at
    the box office, with the Mouse HouseAs once-golden touch at the multiplex fading very quickly and even more publicly in the face of several major
    bombs in short order.

    In fact, things have gotten so bad that one of the studioAs most recent
    flops has overtaken a newer and even bigger flop in the race to earn the
    most money, which leads you to believe there wonAt be much in the way of backslapping in the upper echelons of MickeyAs ivory tower.

    PixarAs Elemental was declared a bust after its opening weekend after
    scoring the animation powerhouseAs worst domestic opening weekend in
    almost 30 years, but itAs shown remarkable legs to keep on trucking. In
    fact, the filmAs daily grosses and worldwide haul have now surpassed that
    of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which was released two weeks
    later and cost close to $100 million more to produce.

    While Harrison FordAs swansong is still ahead on the domestic front, the
    last few days have seen Elemental make fifth spot its own in the United States, knocking Dial of Destiny down to sixth in the process. On the worldwide front, the whimsical family favorite has brought in $360 million compared to Indy 5as $338 million, although it still isnAt profitable yet given the reputed $200 million budget and additional marketing expenses.

    One bomb passing another is damning the entirety of DisneyAs strategy with
    the faintest of praise, then, but a win is a win at the end of the day no matter which way you want to try and cut it.

    What? You mean the first animated studio film to feature a non-binary gender-fluid character isn't making money?!?!

    Unpossible!!!

    Somehow I never really thought of Bambi in terms of
    gender....obviously Bambi's mother was female but it's not a story
    riven with gender images :)

    Given I llast saw it in childhood 50+ years ago one's memory is dimmer
    than it was back then....mostly I remember the shots that killed his
    mother.

    (I heard they did a poll onetime on most memorable movie villains and
    he finished first despite never appearing on screen....)
