Disney's 'Strange World' Hard Flop at Box Office ... LGBTQ Character to Be Scapegoated???
Disney's newest animated movie -- which features an openly gay character -- got crushed at the box office ... and the LGBTQ crowd is worried this might've been the plan all along.
We're talking about "Strange World," which came out this weekend to abysmal ticket sale numbers -- raking in just $18.6 million over the 5-day weekend, starting Wednesday. That's well behind projections ... where 'SW' was supposed to be coming in between $30-$40 mil.
According to reports, the film is expected to end up in the red long term -- somewhere in the ballpark of at least $100 million, considering the $180M budget and marketing expenses.
It's that same marketing, however, that's got allies upset at the Mouse House ... they feel like there wasn't a peep about this flick pre-release, and that it's no wonder it tanked. In fact, some are going into conspiracy mode -- suggesting Disney was banking on a failure.
Here's the theory ... Disney could use the poor performance as rationale to not include LGBTQ characters going forward -- pointing to this new character, Ethan, as evidence to back the would-be decision. Out there, we know, but that's a legit convo taking place right now.
Of course, there's no evidence to support this ... at least not yet. Still, some are floating it anyway and think Disney was looking for an excuse for less representation on-screen.

The.movie looked really bad from the previews that I saw...liked really bad... couldnt even tell there was a gay character to be honest...
this is why.Disney needs a shakeup....some movie and Disney+ offerings were just unimaginative and rushed out to make money. Look at strange world and compare to Encanto or Moana. Even from the commercials and stars you can tell Strange World looked really bad.

I've always thought that Disney was pro-gay so I don't know if they would purposely tank a movie that cost them this much money but who knows.
