Looking ahead to the weekend, it was expected that the film of Disney generate at least 70 million dollars. But his ambitions were frustrated by intensified competition from the giant Jurassic World Dominion of Universal and Top Gun: Maverick from Paramount, as well as little intrigue to see a slightly esoteric origin story about Buzz Lightyear, one that has only a tenuous connection to all four films in the popular children’s franchise. With its wobbly takeoff, Lightyear it landed in second place, becoming one of the rare Pixar films not to take first place at the US box office on its debut.
On an international level, Lightyear it earned $34.6 million from 43 markets, bringing its worldwide total to $85.6 million. The film was banned in smaller foreign markets, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, because it shows a same-sex kiss.
In particular, Lightyear It is the first film of pixar projected on the big screen in more than two years, from Onwards in March 2020. During the pandemic, three of the animation studio’s titles: “Soul”, “Luca” and “Turning Red” went straight to Disney+, leading some box office analysts to wonder if consumers have gotten used to watching Pixar movies right at home.
“This is a soft opening for a spin-off of one of the most successful animated series of all time,” he says. David A Gross, who runs the film consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. He notes: “’Toy Story’ defied gravity at the box office for its 27 years, each episode surpassing the last, the last two grossing $1 billion worldwide. But like all spin-offs, the ‘Lightyear’ story is tighter now.”
