Part 2/8:
Recent Disney releases have consistently underperformed, with Wish being the latest casualty. Originally anticipated as a potential comeback for Disney’s animated films and a family-friendly hit, Wish has instead become a symbol of the studio’s ongoing struggle to attract audiences. Despite hopes that a new original animated feature might rekindle viewers’ interest, the film has underwhelmed at the box office, prompting headlines emphasizing its disappointing performance.

The results for Wish have been starkly underwhelming:
- It debuted in third place during the Thanksgiving weekend, trailing behind The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and Napoleon.
