Disney will continue to embrace the theatrical window over the Thanksgiving stretch with the Colombia-set animated musical Encanto. The film directed by Jared Bush, Byron Howard and Charise Castro Smith is looking to hook families with a $35M-$40M five-day domestic start and another $35M+ overseas as it debuts day-and-date in all offshore territories except China, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines and Vietnam. In the U.S., Encanto showtimes begin at 6 tonight.

Encanto is the second animated wide release to have an exclusive theatrical window this year, following 20th Century Studios’ Ron’s Gone Wrong.

For a film with a production cost 0f 200 million that's not very good but here's hoping it has legs through the holidays and beyond.

[–] Satan2016 (26197) 3 years ago

Ever heard of Google? Budget $120m.

[–] QueenFanUSA (3379) 3 years ago

Ok I stand corrected. I've also seen estimates as high as 150 million. Either way they are losing a shit-ton of money on this but I know you say it doesn't matter because they are going to show it on Disney+.

[–] Satan2016 (26197) 3 years ago

Domestic estimate is now $47m.

40.3mil (5 day) domestic

[–] Satan2016 (26197) 3 years ago

Exactly! Plus $29.3m international = $70m WW.

$70 WorldWide in a 5-days opening is a very bad result for a movie this budget.

[–] Satan2016 (26197) 3 years ago

Doesn't matter anymore. Disney+ on Xmas eve.
Disney+ has 120m subscibers and 2021 revenue of $10 billion.

[–] QueenFanUSA (3379) 3 years ago

Is Disney+ making a profit?

[–] QueenFanUSA (3379) 3 years ago

Yeah ...didn't think so.

So it's ok for the studio to lose a shit-ton of money on this because they will show it on their streaming service that is also losing money?

Gotcha

Disney derangement disorder. Lots of it on Moron Chat.

[–] QueenFanUSA (3379) 3 years ago

Hmmmm...

I think the one that may be "deranged" here is the person that thinks a movie losing a bunch of money is ok because it provides the studio with content for it's streaming service...which is also losing a bunch of money.

Those of us of more sound mind would call that "unsustainable".

Disney + is making a shit ton of money , only a WB shill would think otherwise , 10 billion for Disney through + with 100 million subscribers , so to answer you question , yes, Disney + is making a profit , a much bigger profit than HBO max , Disney is also ruling the 2021 box office , 4 of its movies are included in the 2021 top 10 box office, next year will be even bigger for Disney.

They just added Turning Red into it as well. Will probably bolster Disney+ even higher if the movie turned out any good. Trailer looks quite promising.

[–] furiousstyles (4392) 3 years ago

and here's queen believing that Disney + is losing money, has real issues with Disney for some strange reason.

It has one of the highest costs of any animated film, but in my opinion it is well worth it.

Amazing film for all families with all ages. Just a blast!
