Disney's Memorial Day Weekend curse


looks to be continued with YET ANOTHER expensive flop released on this weekend.

Tomorrowland...Alice 2...Pirates 5...Solo...and now this.

When this project was first announced who would have thought there would be flop sweat dripping all over it in the months leading up to it.

Outside of Marvel poor Disney just keeps releasing one box office misfire after another.

And...as I have been predicting for months...Dumbo is a catastrophic flop.

Yet another 100 million dollar loser for Disney...NOT a good sign for Aladdin at all.

More bad news...looks like box office.com has downgraded Aladdin once again to a 66 million opening weekend.

This in all likelihood will carry Disney's usual 200 million price tag.

Yikes.

...aaannnd we're about to see how yet another super-expensive Disney movie performs.

It's not looking good, folks. Presales are very soft just hours before the first showing.

Three months of fake news from Queenie! Will gross at least $400m.

Disney’s live-action take of their 1992 half-billion grossing animated hit Aladdin finally takes flight over the Memorial Day weekend frame, and while we’ve typically trumpeted the lofty-end of projections for most global launches, especially Disney’s, we’re going low on this one with $73M-$75M domestic (including Monday’s holiday), and $173M-$175M worldwide.
