Ouch.

Yet ANOTHER money-loser for Disney.

When will it end?

Marvel continues to prop them up from total devastation.

Um....it just opened in theaters right before the weekend. Give it a little time.

I haven't seen this new version of "Dumbo" yet, but I know my mom's gonna wanta see it (she was there when the first one came out), and I don't want to write it off just yet. It might surprise some people.

I hope you are right but it's going to have to really "take off"(no pun intended) if it's going to break even.

And then Shazam! opens in less than a week. It's not looking good.

Are you suggesting the audience for Shazam is the same as for Dumbo?

I thought you were supposed to be learned about this shit?

I'm looking forward to seeing both.

There is a lot of overlap as they both are targeting families.

That's roughly what $1 billion grossing hit of 2010 Alice in Wonderland made during Thursday night previews.

Plus, this is a film for family audiences; most families will not have been attending late night showings on a school night.

[–] QueenFanUSA (3379) 6 years ago

Alice in Wonderland made that from midnight showings only.

Dumbo started at 6 p.m.

Beauty and the Beast made almost 17 million from it's Thursday previews by comparison.

Deadline says it has a total cost of 300 million!

It's opening to 44 million with the hotly anticipated Shazam! opening in 5 days.

This will be lucky to hit 300 million worldwide. Disney will lose hundreds of millions on this.

Hey Queen! Would you please provide a link to the Deadline article that provides the amounts you stated for Production ($170 Mil) and Advertising/Marketing ($$$) costs that equal $300 Million?

Thanks!
