Now when it comes to Disney works, it is synonymous with box office guarantee, but in fact, there are many blockbusters that Di Baobao loses money. In 2019, Disney’s annual gross box office exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars, setting a record in film history. This feat is unprecedented, and it is difficult for a film company to challenge this record in a short time. But even if Disney made money, there were two big box office hits last year, namely "Dumbo" and "Maleficent 2".
"Maleficent 2" is a little better in the end but only a small loss, but "Dumbo" is a loss because of Disney's grainless panties. The film was originally highly anticipated by the industry. After all, it was a classic remake, but it did not expect to be released at the global box office, and Disney's live-action giant was misfired. This movie is directed by the genius director Tim Burton, starring Eva Green, Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Nicole Parker, etc.
"Dumbo" tells the story of being hired by the circus owner Max Medici, the outdated circus star Holt Farrell, together with their children Millie and Joe, take care of those who were laughed at when they were born because of their huge ears Dumbo. When the three discovered that Dumbo really could fly, the originally struggling circus was reborn. It also attracted the attention of entrepreneur VA Vandeville and invited Dumbo to join his extraordinary rides, the Kingdom of Dreams. ……
"Dumbo" invested up to 170 million U.S. dollars, but received less than 400 million U.S. dollars worldwide, and Disney filmmakers finally lost their temper. Among them, North America received only 114 million U.S. dollars, which was significantly lower than expected, and 238 million U.S. dollars in overseas revenue, totaling 353 million U.S. dollars globally. This result does not seem to be low, but the cost is helplessly too high. According to the triple box office return, it will cost 510 million U.S. dollars to protect the capital. However, the box office received is still one thousand miles away from this goal.
In the past, the box office of Hollywood blockbusters in other markets did not meet expectations and can be recovered in China's box office, but this time the domestic box office of Disney blockbusters is also cold. Only 12.89 million in the first day, 72.38 million in the first weekend, and only 147 million in the mainland box office in the end. The world's first and second largest markets have failed to explode. It is unrealistic to expect other markets to sell at the box office. It is strange that Disney's giant system does not lose money. The editor thinks that the film’s bleak box office has something to do with the subject matter. This hit was very popular at the time, but it is not very attractive in the current market.
"Dumbo"'s poor reputation also exacerbated the box office rush, with 47% freshness of Rotten Tomatoes media players and 49% of audience popcorn. From this score, it can be seen that the industry and the audience are not satisfied. If it weren’t for Disney’s North American box office and want to collect 100 million U.S. dollars, it’s nothing. The domestic reputation is a bit better, Douban scores 6.7, but everyone knows that the score of imported films on this platform is falsely high, so this live-action giant is too good. No.
The live-action version of "Dumbo" was quite anticipated before the screening, but unfortunately the effect of the director's shot was not good, which caused the box office to suffer. With an investment of US$170 million in a large production, the studio not only failed to make money, but also lost money, and Disney cried out of the toilet. If the film's small box office broke out in the mainland, a lot of losses could be recovered. Unfortunately, domestic audiences did not have this feeling, and other overseas markets were too small to fill this big hole.
"Dumbo" is unattractive, and the editor agrees with this point of view. Some viewers joked, "What is so good about a circus movie?" However, the box office of "The Lion King" of the same year was a big hit. This is really different from others. The editor thinks that the main reason is that the elephant is not as popular and likable as the little lion, and the "Lion King" is really sentimental. Many friends grew up watching the animated version.
"Dumbo" received 238 million U.S. dollars in overseas box office and achieved good results. It is not bad for North America to receive 110 million U.S. dollars. It is a pity that the film investment was too high and caused a loss. Disney's $170 million giant system misfired. Where do you think this blockbuster movie lost at the box office? Some viewers said, "The script is smelly, long and full of preaching" and "The film is boring. I don't recommend wasting this time." What do you think? Welcome to discuss!
