Disney's wish takes 3rd place behind both Songbird's and Snakes' 2nd weekend and freakin' Napoleon.
S&S: $28.82M
Napoleon: $20.4M
Wish: $19.5M
And to add insult to injury, Wish only garnered $17.3M Internationally, for a worldwide 5-Day weekend total of just $49 Million.
Fuck you, Disney. You didn't even make 1/10th of what you needed to break even on a 5-Day Opening Weekend.
You've made 24.5% of your production budget back now. That's Elemental and Strays level. But I guess you can claim that you did better on Wish's opening weekend here than you did with Haunted Mansion's 21%.
Good for you!
If this weren't a holiday weekend, Wish would have been in the bottom 5 opening weekends for blockbuster movies in 2023 giving Renfield a run for its money.

Official numbers are in and Wish takes 3rd place, a million behind Napoleon for the weekend.
The Marvels took 6th place behind Thanksgiving.
The weekend take for The Marvels and Wish combined didn't match Songbirds and Snakes.

Wish posts its first Sub-Million day on Day 6.
$745,473 on Monday, November 27th.
It took The Marvels 18 days to post its first Sub-Million day.
$339,774 on Monday, November 27th.
Holy shit. Disney must be in pure panic mode right now. They barely managed to make $1 Million yesterday with their two final "blockbusters" of 2023 that cost a combined total of $475 Million to produce.

Wish drops -62% to $7,412,000 on Weekend 2.
Worldwide Gross after 12 days is $81,555,942 or 41% of the Production Budget.
Wish is going to make The Marvels look like a successful movie.

some are saying that Napoleon is dropping so fast that Wish might beat it?
Both have reported crazy Budget production of $150–200 million
If Wish fails it seems to be all on Disney if Napoleon fails it seems to spread across 3 studios Columbia /Sony/Apple

Regardless of how Napoleon performed, it was already a flop on opening weekend and I called that on November 23rd.

Killers of the Flower Moon which also cost $200M to make only made $23.25 Million on Opening Weekend and after 5 weeks has still failed to make back even 75% of the Production Budget Worldwide.
Napoleon may do better, given the kick start of the 5-Day Holiday Weekend, but probably not by much if it does. The audience and critics ratings are both in the middling 60's here, which doesn't bode well.
After 12 days, it's got $136,640,000.
So I'm sure that it's doing better than Killers of the Flower Moon was doing at 12 days worldwide since it's only got $154,313,005 after 45 days... But like I said... Not by much.
Both of these movies cost a STUPID $200 Million to make.
Napoleon has made 68% of this back. Killers has made 77% of this back.
Neither will gross their production budget worldwide before exiting theaters.
Both need $500 Million to break even.
Supposedly nobody cares or even expected either of these to break even in the theaters and they were looking only to make "Oscarbait" films and they're going to "make money" with them on streaming revenue.
Half of that will be true. I'm sure they'll both be fighting against each other at the Oscars.
But I don't see how they'll ever actually make money on either of these because of streaming. But it's also virtually impossible to prove that they don't make any money on these either.
It's easy to prove that nothing Disney puts out on its streaming service will make any money when you see articles stating that Disney+ loses hundreds of millions every quarter. I don't ever see articles about Apple or Amazon Prime losing money every quarter.

I went to Walmart Saturday and went to the toy section to find something for the Toys for Tots box at work, the toy section was full of 'Wish' crap. There was even a shelf just for 'Wish' crap. A little stuffed 'Wish' star (which was kind of cute) was almost $15.

Wish finally breaks $100 Million Worldwide after 19 days. It still hasn't broke $50 Million in the US though.
The Marvels still hasn't broke $200 Million Worldwide after 31 days, making only $1.3 Million on Weekend 5.
You're about $1.8 BILLION in the hole for 2023, Disney. These peanuts aren't helping your case.
These two movies combined aren't going to gross what Wish alone was going to need to break even for you.
