Disney’s “Lightyear” had what industry analysts consider a very disappointing opening weekend.
AV Club wrote ‘ After pulling some of the worst reviews and early fan reactions ever for a Pixar project, Lightyear proved to be a box office disappointment in its opening weekend. Not only did the Toy Story spin-off post a tepid (by Pixar standards) $51 million during its launch weekend, but it couldn’t even get past Jurassic World: Dominion, which retained the top spot at the box office during its second week of release. So why exactly is everyone going all Zurg on Lightyear? Here’s a closer look at the reasons—some obvious, others more existential—Lightyear didn’t send audiences to infinity and beyond.”
“Lightyear” featured a controversial same sex kiss that got the film banned in multiple countries.
