1. "Lightyear"
the film also came under fire in the weeks leading up to its box office release, as word spread that the film included scene featuring a kiss between two women who are lesbians. That fire turned into an explosion for some fans when a PIXAR representative said the studio would not be removing any part of the scene. But the decision may have cost PIXAR in the end. Lightyear was ultimately a huge failure, earning $267 million at the box office against total production expenses of $373 million, awarding PIXAR a $106 million bath.
2. "Strange World"
Another focal point of the film has to do with a scene in which 16-year-old Ethan tells his grandfather, Jaeger, about his crush on another boy, and while same-sex crushes and relationships are not uncommon topics in films anymore, critics of the film point out that the discussion of sexuality within a film created for children “certainly didn’t help the film’s box office fortunes.” Strange World is considered a box office flop, as it garnered only $165 million in revenue. The film cost $180 million to make, and with advertising costs and other associated expenses, Strange World, from start to finish, cost Disney more than $317 million to produce, meaning the film saw losses for the studio of more than $152 million.
So let's do the math:
"Lesbian kiss for children" Lightyear: $373 million in production, $267 million in revenue = a $106 million loss.
"Boy Crush" Strange World: $370 million in production/advertaising, $165 million in revenue = a $152 million loss.
I don't remember Aladdin or Toy Story bombing this bad. I'm sure this is all coincidence though.. right guys?
