Part 3/9:
Official reports reveal that Wish earned only $3.9 million on Thanksgiving Day, a stark 35% drop compared to the opening day of Disney’s previous animated release, Encanto, which had grossed $5.8 million on Thanksgiving. The initial outlook was to see a 32-37 million dollar five-day holiday total, with a 20-25 million dollar three-day weekend. Instead, the film is projected to finish its holiday run with approximately $32 to $33 million, marking an alarming decline from typical Disney holiday dominance.
