Disney's Wish: A Second Chance
A lot more people are watching Wish on Disney+ than the weak turnout at the multiplex late last year. Wish -- the full-length animated feature that failed to resonate with domestic moviegoers when it debuted at multiplexes just before the historically potent Thanksgiving holiday weekend -- premiered on Disney+ last week. It's finding an audience.
Streaming Success
- Wish has been streamed 13.2 million times in its first five days on the platform.
- The film disappointed investors and exhibitors alike when it generated just $64 million in box office receipts.
- A substantially larger chunk of the country has now been exposed to the film that Disney hoped would be a successful celebration of the studio's 100-year operating history.
Wish finally has a chance to be a star.
