'Strange World' earned just $18.6 million in its opening weekend.
Disney's Strange World debuted in cinemas on Wednesday, November 23. The latest animated feature from the house of mouse stars Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Gabrielle Union, Jaboukie Young-White and Lucy Liu - as a family of explorers who go in search for the energy source that brings life to their home - and despite all this star power coming together for one film, Strange World has failed to draw in audiences.
Disney may be currently enjoying great success at the box office with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but Strange World is not similarly thriving. The film earned just $4.2 million on its opening day domestically across 4174 theaters and concluded the Thanksgiving period with a domestic gross of just $18.6 million, one of the worst returns for Disney Animation at the Thanksgiving box office.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY For the hopeful out there that think a mega studio such as Disney has the power to turn Strange World's dismal start into a box office success will be dismayed to learn that recent history is not on the film's side. Encanto opened at $27.2 million before ending with a domestic gross of approximately $96 million and a further $160.7 million internationally.
