TL;DR Summary

Disney's latest animated film "Wish" disappointed at the box office during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, earning only $31.6 million, well below expectations. This continues a trend of underperformance for Disney's animation studios, which have struggled to attract audiences since the pandemic. The company's decision to prioritize content for its streaming service Disney+ and release movies straight to digital has confused parents and led to a decline in theater attendance. Additionally, Disney faces stiff competition from other studios and franchises like Universal's "Trolls Band Together." However, there is still hope for "Wish" as it has the upcoming December holiday season and the potential for success on Disney+ to boost its fortunes.
