Wish, Disney's latest animated feature, was heavily anticipated to be a turnaround story during the Thanksgiving holiday—a period traditionally fruitful for Disney animated releases like Frozen ($93 million opening), Ralph Breaks the Internet ($84 million), and Moana ($82 million). With a substantial $200 million budget, industry insiders expected Wish to debut with at least $50 million domestically, providing a hopeful sign for Disney's animated prospects.
