Disney’s Snow White fell to 14th place.
Anthony Mackie stated that he didn’t want to represent America while playing Captain America. Americans agreed. In one of the saddest milestones in the Disney IP slop factory,Captain America: Brave New World discovered its own brave new world as it passed or maybe more accurately crawled across the $200 million mark by taking in $35,000 this weekend.
No, I didn’t drop any zeroes. That was the weekend take in what looks like 21st place.
Disney’s Snow White fell to 14th place.
All of this is bound to freak out Disney investors. The company usually rules the summer box office and it’s off to a bad start. If Thunderbolts or Fantastic Four underperform, expect pressure for a major turnaround to mount. Disney has bet everything on IP tentpole movies and two of those just bombed. If its Marvel IP shows even clearer signs of viewer fatigue, then Disney’s summer is over before it began. And after the summer, Tron isn’t going to bail things out, Avatar 300 will no doubt make money, but those billions won’t make up for lost billions.
