WhileWishcontinues to struggle at the global box office during its third weekend playing on the big screen, the latest project fromWalt Disney Animation Studioshas earned $105.5 million in theaters from all over the world. The movie showed a strong hold this weekend when it comes to the domestic box office, only dropping 31% from last week’s total with $5.3 million. When it comes to the film’s performance in international territories,Wishhas earned $56.1 million overseas, but an estimated budget that rangesfrom $175 million to $200 millionmakes the results obtained by the Disney project disappointing.
Wishhasn’t premiered in Italy, Australia, Japan, Korea and Brazil yet, giving the animated musical an opportunity to improve its box office landscape in the near future. With Christmas rapidly approaching, there’s a chance for the Disney fairy tale to recover as families return to movie theaters over the holidays. Territories such as Germany, Spain and France are the ones enjoying Asha’s (Ariana DeBose) journey the most, with the film having strong holds when it comes to the box office from those countries. But the truth is thatWishseems to be closer toStrange World’s box office run, instead of following the footsteps ofFrozen IIorMoana.
The story ofWishfollows Asha, as she tries to find a better life for herself in the Kingdom of Rosas by becoming King Maginifico’s (Chris Pine) apprentice. But when the girl realizes the monarch isn’t the good person he claims to be, she’ll have to come up with a plan to keep the villain away from the town’s population. Magnifico has the ability of making people forget what their dreams are, and Asha wants everyone to feel hopeful once again, in a musical directed byChris BuckandFawn Veerasunthorn.
