Box Office Projections: A Dismal Outlook
With just a month remaining before the film's release, early box office projections paint a grim picture. Initial estimates for the opening weekend range between $63 million and $70 million. In stark contrast, Disney’s previous live-action adaptation of Maleficent, a spinoff of Sleeping Beauty, opened over a decade ago to $70 million. Given today's ticket prices and inflation, this comparison showcases a downward trend in Disney's box office performance.
