While I am excited to now be paid to make these write-ups I understand the concern that a major producer of theatrical films is in charge. I want to make it very clear I negotiated complete control over my content with Disney and in no way will feature bias for their films. I will continue giving you my own personal opinions despite who's writing my checks. Okay let's do itDumbo (2019) - In a shocking display, Dumbo opened to an incredible #1 with $45M. This broke records becoming the 5th highest debut for a March Disney live-action release, the 25th best debut for a film with a CGI lead (almost beating Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel), and destroying as the biggest debut ever for a movie about a smart elephant (I think, there's not a box office mojo chart about that). In comparison with other major programmers with hearty and audience beloved debuts like Nutcracker and the Four Realms ($20.3M) and Wrinkle in Time ($33.1M). Now this may sound like a major downgrade from the $116M that the last Burton directed Disney live-action remake, 2010's Alice in Wonderland, made but let's also note that both got an A- on Cinemascore and the joy of an audience is what really counts. It's also worth noting the original Dumbo is 10 years older than the original Alice in Wonderland so inflation really evens it out.Us - I guess it's worth mentioning that the $20M horror film had another whatever weekend where it made $33.6M, crossing over $125M domestic. Sure that all sounds impressive but let's see Universal try to sell Tethered Lupita action figures and novelty scissors at Target. Yeah, good luck.Unplanned - I have a statement I need to read: We at the Disney Corp do not engage in serious political and moral debates such as presented in the film Unplanned. We believe in everyone's right to express themselves and we invite you all to remember that Galaxy's Edge, the exciting new Star Wars land in Disney World and Disney Land where no one ever talks about abortion.Films Reddit Wants to FollowThis is a segment where we keep a weekly tally of currently showing films that aren't in the Top 5 that fellow redditors want updates on.
