"Onward" Bound... to Bomb

Who would invest 200 million dollars in an animated movie aimed at children that starred an openly homosexual character?

Disney, that's who.

From LifeSite,

"Animated Disney kids’ film ‘Onward’ with openly gay character bombs on opening weekend"

"The total take for Onward last weekend was $39 million, domestically, and $28 million from around the world. This is the lowest opening take for a Disney-Pixar movie, after accounting for inflation, and also, not coincidentally, the lowest sale of tickets..."

"Onward cost Disney somewhere between $175 million-$200 million..."

This week, Disney pulled the plug on reporting their box office take for "Onward" citing the closure of many theaters due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"A statement released by a company rep read, 'Given the current large number of theater shutdowns around the globe, Disney will suspend global weekend reporting for the time being.  Wishing you and your families the best during these testing times and please be safe'” (Deadline)

Note that Disney did not claim that their problems might be the result of "an act of God".

Yesterday, in an act of desperation, Disney announced the film will be available online next week.

"Whereas movies usually have a seven-month gap between airing in theaters and coming to streaming services, Onward will come to the Disney streaming service just under a month after its original cinema release." (Newsweek)

Disney is probably hoping to lure in children and parents who are stuck in their homes due to the coronavirus.

The flop of "Onward" means that the majority of parents are not all on board with the LGBT agenda, and they recognize the danger of this means of indoctrination.

I don't think that will stop Disney from pushing the LGBT agenda. Instead, look for them to be more subtle next time.
