Strange World Flops Big Over Thanksgiving - Charts with Dan!

[@jazclarinetist]

I have literally never seen a Strange World ad and I go to the cinema roughly once a week. Glass Onion wasn't in a theater within a 90 minute drive of me...

[@heatheraggus7501]

Same here, I go to the movies very often but didn't see a single trailer for it. Glass Onion is playing very limited near me.

[@eternalfailure4081]

I am about to watch the video. I too go to the cinema quite a lot. The title of the video is the first time I have heard of Strange World. I have no idea what studio it is, bgoing to guess... blue sky?

[@AWSVids]

Same here. Never saw a thing about the movie. Had no idea it existed. I'd seen mentions of "Strange World" online, I think, but I think I just assumed they were talking about "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds". The title alone wasn't a unique attention catcher. Then a couple days ago, I saw somenoe say "Disney's Strange World", and I thought it was a new attraction at Disneyland or something. It wasn't unti l literally just saw the thumbnail for this video that I realized it's an animated movie that was released. Had NO idea. Marketing for this movie failed big time.

[@curtisbme]

@Dr. Octogon Aw, did the movie having a gay character trigger you little snowflake? You should really not leave your room as they everywhere outside too. It will be too much for you to handle.

[@sarkaztik3228]

@Dr. Octogon I didn't realize a movie with a gay lead was specifically marketed toward gay people? I must have screwed up watching all of those "straight people" movies I guess? Imagine thinking a minor trait of a character in a movie means the movie is marketed toward that group specifically. This isn't Bros, LMAO.

[@motherplayer]

There is a truth to that. More often than not, for some reason, Japan really knows how to market Disney movies on posters better than we see here. I remember how Wreck-It Ralph's one called "Sugar Rush" there did a better job at selling what the movie would actually be about along with regulating the cameo news to a small corner of the poster or even just something really wholesome like the "Turning Red" poster that has Mei and her friends, while she is a panda, sitting and enjoying a sunset or "Big Hero 6" with Hiro hugging Baymax or the lastly well known "Frozen" one where the teaser what some comedy routine that told people little while Japan got a trailer that showed off what the film actually was and got people hyped proper.....wow, I spent way too much time on this....I apologize. TL;DR Japan posters of Disney movies can be pretty awesome and tells more about the movies than most western ones do sometimes.

[@ivanvoronov3871]

Japan respects animation more

[@bluesdjben]

I wanted to see Strange World, but Glass Onion was a higher priority for me, and I ended up only being able to make it to one movie last weekend. At least I still have the chance to see Strange World in theaters. That sucks that Glass Onion has such a limited run because I saw it in a big, full theater, and the audience loved it.

[@mckinleyostvig7135]

I'm jealous. Would have been a 2 hour drive to the closest Glass Onion showing for me.

[@StewartFletcher]

Just anecdotally, my family ALWAYS goes to the theaters on Thanksgiving. We've done it my entire life. This year was the first time I can remember that we didn't feel interested in ANY of the films. Keep in mind, we saw all the Twilight movies in theaters every year.

[@brentage5000]

How unsurprising that the movie they forgot to advertise flopped. Good job, Disney.

[@jovanym2931]

They did advertise it . And the movie is just that bad no amount of advertising would have saved this movie

[@TrekBeatTK]

They did. But the bad advertising wasn’t a draw, and the bad publicity among a certain demographic was the death knell. Middle Americans who would have gone in years past actively stayed away to avoid indoctrinating their kids. And if you doubt this, look at how well Minions 2 did.

Last week my local theater had The Menu on its smallest screen for 3 showings a day. Each showing was basically sold-out. If it had been on a screen with more seats I’m guessing it would have done better. It just goes to show like you were saying that limited availability in smaller markets probably hurts movies. I didn’t get Glass Onion either. Time to move :)

[@lightingsand]

Netflix should be releasing more of their movies in theaters!

[@theodorehadley1292]

When the year is over could you do a quarter by quarter comparison? Like top 5 or 10 movies each quarter, which quarter made the most money, biggest surprise and biggest disappointment of each quarter. I think this would be a interesting topic to look over and see what the best parts of this year are.

[@realityismerelyanill]

Comparing projections with resulta for the big flops/successes would be cool

[@ramonecricket5183]

Apparently Glass Onion WILL be released again in theatres post-Christmas/new year, which is great because it was probably the most enjoyable cinema experience I’ve had all year, and with word of mouth I think it could have made 400 million+ worldwide with a normal theatrical release, maybe even half a billion. Remember that Knives Out made over 300 million.

[@MysteryMii]

To add on to Glass Onion potentially leaving a lot of money on the table, since we now have proof that a Netflix film can work theatrically in at least modest amount of theaters, this is likely going to open the floodgates for directors to start demanding Netflix to give their films a more proper theatrical release. I also wouldn’t be shocked if Knives Out 3 ends up going wider and longer in theaters, partly because Rian Johnson can potentially used the news about how much money Glass Onion potentially left on the table to pressure Netflix into doing so (especially if they want more Knives Out films because they have only greenlit one more so far and they don’t own the IP, so they could potentially risk Johnson taking the property elsewhere after the third film).

[@rl8259]

They already spent 450M for Knives out 2 and 3. Netflix gets another Knives Out film no matter what

[@MysteryMii]

@@rl8259 The point I’m making is that Rian has leverage here. They have to ink out another deal if Netflix wants more Knives Out films, and given how weary Wall Street has become with streaming, Netflix can’t spend $500+ million on two more films without showing a clear path to profitability on their investment.

[@rl8259]

@@rl8259 $469M! Knives out was a fun movie, but take the role of the money man there... the original scored $313M in theaters, which equates to a breakeven budget of around $160M, and Netflix paid $235M per? And has minimal interest in maximizing the revenue attributable to the investment by giving it a wide release?? At least give your investors the opportunity to prop up the brand by buying tickets...

[@zacharyosborne4943]

I 100% agree with what you're saying about how theaters book these films. I live in a mid-sized market. I would've loved to see 'TAR' in a theater, but it was only here for a week, with limited showtimes. I feel bad for smaller markets, who pretty much only had two movies to choose from last weekend.

[@HelloMisterJAMWAH]

My supervisor linked the Deadline article about Strange World bombing in our group chat at work. At least four of our team hadn't even heard of the movie until that moment (I saw the trailer before Confess, Fletch last weekend). So what? Well, I work in animation. Believe me, there was a lot of excitement before Turning Red, Raya, Soul etc. The marketing has been so bad that animation junkies hadn't even heard of its existence.

[@joshuastewart7984]

Appreciate all the work done on all of your videos

[@davidmylchreest3306]

As a fan of Knives Out, I would have happily paid to see Glass Onion with an audience, but it is not showing at my local theatre. I understand that it costs a lot of money to put a movie in cinemas, but some Netflix movies (not all) would potentially make a lot of money if they changed their business model.

[@vampirefrompluto9788]

What you said about scheduling movies & only having awards movies play in "big" markets is 1 of the main reasons that the Oscars have been hemorrhaging viewership! Why should people care that movies they never even had a chance to see are getting awards?

[@TepidShark]

Fantasia 2000 is a weird case. They were one of if not the first to release a full movie in IMAX so it played from January through April only in IMAX before coming out in regular theaters that summer. I don't think it was a financial success but I think it's one of those movies where it existing at all is mostly the point.

[@5DollarGaming]

My fiance and I were so excited to see another Knives Out movie in theaters but there wasn't a show time even within 2 hours of me. Netflix definitely dropped the ball and I don't know why when the first movie garnered such a strong and steady audience.

[@ashleyb6528]

There was almost no advertising for this movie. I only saw one trailer after it was released.

I remember the Empire Magazine Review of Hitman. They Said Thy forgot to put 'S' in front of the title! LOL!🤣

[@FritzTheCat_1030]

There's really just no excuse for the lack of distribution for some of these films anymore. Back when they actually had to produce and distribute film reels, it would be understandable that distributers wouldn't want to send films that might garner less interest to smaller markets. Now that everything is digital, there's practically zero cost in distribution. The only impact might be that your local multiplex might only have 734 screenings of Wakanda Forever a day, as opposed to the 740 they have now.

[@lovejoy1311]

I was at Disneyland all last week. I saw one display for StrangeW there the entire time, and no other advertising at all. And that display didn’t even have a theatrical release date on it.

[@ras_732]

I personally wished Glass Onion Knives Out did stuck around in theaters for another week, but hey; this is Netflix we're talking about... I think Netflix kind of scored an own goal on this strategy given how full to the brim showtimes were and how well-known the Knives Out franchise really is. But on the other hand, Netflix are scrambling to get their subscribers back after their stocks and subs dropped this year due to cost of living.

[@antonio_ferme]

Fantastic video, Dan! One of your best ones yet.

[@davidwindsor2579]

I feel like Lightyear and Strange World have the same qualities as Treasure Planet that made it flop so many years ago. The problem is that they are too mature/action focused for parents to take their really young kids, but they are too sincere/Disney-esque to appeal to teens or adults. It’s a bad middle ground where they don’t appeal to many quadrants.

[@Sarahmint]

The Menu is severely underrated. That is a movie worth going and paying the theater for

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

Fableman's was open in my town but only at the bigger theaters which isn't uncommon so I'm surprised it didn't open in similar markets yet. As for Strange World, I saw enough ads to where I think all the people claiming it had no marketing are in their own Strange World lol. The ads were enough for me, it sold an old school adventure and that's all I thought you needed, guess not. It wasn't exactly a marketing blitz though, and adventure style Disney animated movies (Atlantis, Treasure Planet) historically don't take off, weird trend. Worth noting there's a few markets it won't open in, like France where it'll go straight to Disney+ apparently, doubt it'll play that big a part but worth noting.

[@kstepko]

As David Letterman used to say: “____ is playing now in selected theatres. Hope and pray that your theatre is selected!”

[@PolarisCastillo]

I mean, I kept seeing ads for *Strange World* all over town in Los Angeles, but I know I live in the film capital of the world. But even then, they were either just the title of the film on a bus ad (with no other art work or characters), or just a solid color background with the title and the characters gazing at something in awe, but purposely kept mysterious.

[@ThennaryNak]

First watched Glass Onion on Thursday and it was shown in one of the larger screening rooms and it was sold out. I saw it again on Sunday and while it was in a smaller room it was playing on two screens in that theater and my showing was packed.

[@Will_Parker]

The only advertising for Strange World was that it had the first gay Disney teens, literally nothing else. There was no reason for anybody to see it.

[@DanMurrellMovies]

I mean, it wasn't the ONLY advertising. I saw both trailers, which didn't feature that element of the story. I actually didn't know there was a gay character featured until I saw the film. It may have been part of the promotion elsewhere, but I don't think it's accurate to say that was the only advertising done. It is what the discussion largely became about, after the movie opened for sure.

[@Will_Parker]

@@DanMurrellMovies I didn't see either trailer and I honestly don't know anybody who did, idk what movies they played them before. Not even Black Panther had the trailer before it, unless I was in the bathroom or something.

They are also able to make these movies at often half the cost of Disney movies. What are Disney doing wrong and what are Unversal doing right?

So glad you brought up Matilda's cinema release in the UK. What's even more interesting is that the movie is having a full cinema release in the UK, and will not actually release onto Netflix UK until next summer. Which I believe to be a great tactic, as it'll sweep the UK holiday season in cinemas, in a similar way Greatest Showman did in UK a few years ago.. Netflix is clearly starting to learn it's countries and where to start releasing what..

The Bones and All release in our market was infuriating. We had already drafted our schedule for the week and, looking at our numbers and market, decided to skip on “Bones and All”, only to have UA contact us (as well as any theater playing Glass Onion) and threaten to pull us off their distribution list if we didn’t play Bones and All as well. This would mean losing Creed 3 next March. So we scrambled to get everything in place for the film to sell 26 tickets over a 5 day weekend with over 16 screenings.

I agree. Netflix should have done a normal wide theatrical release for Glass Onion, giving it a three month window, banked as much theatrical money as possible, then said, “Okay, anyone who hasn’t seen it yet or wants to see it again _has to_ go to Netflix now,” and then put it up for streaming.

[@LaurenWatkinsArt]

When you live in a small town there very few things to go out and do on a Friday or Saturday night. In my town growing up it was going to the movies or going bowling. I think they do small towns a disservice and sell themselves short when they only make movies available in big cities.

[@KrazyKobold]

In a wild way -- Netflix "should" be able to do hyperfocused city/state targeting because -- in theory -- they have a massive user base that they KNOW the physical locations of. Like Netflix has my billing address, they know where my ISP routes etc... they "know" where I am AND they know my preference. If that preference and the preferences of those around me in this area met some threshold, they might have a better than average ability to guess if "folks in XXX will like this movie" It feels like an untapper power for them

[@ReviewJunkee]

I totally agree with you about Knives Out 2. I don't think Netflix can say they made a return on their investment unless 1 million people subscribed to their service the week Glass Onion is made available for streaming and all new customers completed a survey confirming they signed up strictly for that film alone.

I feel like, despite the high quality of animation, that stylistically all Disney movies are looking more and more alike over the last five years. They hit a style and it just stuck. The older Disney movies have a similarity in style, but they also have a lot of variety. They're artistically unique. That variety is lacking in the newer movies, even though their stories have such different settings and content. All the visual content feels the same, like they're all made of the same stuff.

To anyone who follows the International Box Office more than me, can someone explain how on Dan's charts for the past few weeks, we have not seen anything from Suzume no Tojimari (Makoto Shinkai's newest film)?

I am hearing the film is performing very well so it's sad not to see it when Dan is covering Charts.

Hey Dan, what you said at 22:03 about the biggest city gross made me think of something, namely what the statewide top ten gross would be versus the top ten for that state's biggest city.

Elemental looks like the classic “What if (blank) had feelings” Pixar film that audiences respond well to, and Wish is a musical with a recent Oscar winner, Ariana DeBose, being the lead voice. They also need to stop putting them on Disney+ after only 30-45 days and make it clear to viewers there’ll be a bit of time between theaters and Disney+.
