It was a pointless movie no one really asked for, so of course it was going to bomb.

IMDb - 5.2

Ouch
The ratings seem to be distributed more towards a 7. 42% of the ratings being a 1 but the majority of the remaining ratings being a 6, 7, or 8 has a disingenuous feel to it. Compare that to something like The Godfather where if you ignore the 50ish percent being 10, it's mostly 9, then 8's, etc.

I thought it was great. The moral of the movie feels kinda hamfisted compared to Pixar classics. But its funny as fuck. The scenes in space can be surprisingly terrifying and intense. The cast have great chemistry. I was floored when I looked up the reviews and saw it being panned. Granted, I dont give a shit about Tim Allen.

Itll definitely get its due one day.

I honestly cant tell if the people bitching about Tim Allen not being in it are serious or not. Chris Evans did a great job. And Tim Allen is the toy Buzz Lightyear, not the real Buzz Lightyear.

But of course I wouldnt expect a bunch of manchildren in their mid-30s to understand that.

And it won't even hit $20 million its second weekend. It is deopping fast. It will break $100 million in the US but not by a ton. It cost $200 million to make, which means it needs $500 million globally to break even during its theatrical run. It will be like $200 million or so. That is a $300 million loss that won't be made up by DVD sales and driving Disney+ subscriptions in a couple months. This is a disaster for Disney.

Lol did TC really think homophobes review bombing an IMDb page was a real indicator of the movies success?

I bet he sees steam reviews and feels the same way lmao
"The heckin' homophobes are why it bombed!"
Good job slurping up Disney's PR. The reality is no one wants a "serious" movie about Buzz Lightyear, they want Toy Story Buzz.

Most of that is due to far-right drones down voting the movie over a two second scene of two women kissing. I don't trust fan scores because they are too easy to manipulate for an agenda.

While that's not why it bombed that is why the fan scores are so low. It is a fact that the right manipulate scores all the time. They make fan scores meaningless.

The film flopped in theaters because it doesn't look interesting.

This is true. My daughters didn't even care to see it, and they were very excited about Turning Red and The Bad Guys

Mainly the film was irrelevant and no one asked for it

Other than Onward (which released right at the beginning of COVID) that puts it as the lowest theatrical Pixar movie by quite a lot.

It cost at least $200 M to make. Thats not including advertising and such. Movies need to make like twice their budget to be successful. This film will not make twice its budget. It might lose upwards of $300 M overall.

I think the buzz was the problem. If Disney just shut up and made a solid movie it would have made $500M easy. Im noticing that most stars in Thor:Love and Thunder arent talking much to the press and that is a good thing maybe they are learning. That movie is about one solid Tessa Thompson tweet from bombing.

I've barely seen any marketing or press of the movie outside of trailers so I have no idea what you're talking about.
