00:00Disney is completely reassessing its strategy after Moana was as big a flop as Snow White and could do everything
00:03Stop, let me explain everything.
00:04Let's talk numbers straight: the film opened with $52 million at the box office, compared to $42 million with Blanche
00:09Snow,
00:09which is already not very good, but on top of that the film's budget is 350 million.
00:12dollars with marketing.
00:13And to be profitable, it would need to reach 700 million.
00:15So obviously it's only just been released, but according to estimates, we could stop around the
00:19$500 million.
00:20And honestly, we can understand why they wanted to adapt Moana.
00:23which has become one of the biggest streaming successes of all time,
00:25far more than Moana 2, reached one billion dollars at the box office.
00:28The problem is that I think the timing here was extremely bad.
00:31Firstly, because Vaiana is barely 10 years old, and Vaiana 2 was released less than two years ago.
00:34Currently in cinemas there are a lot of children's films, including Toy Story 5.
00:38but also cute characters and monsters, and bringing a family to see a third film in the same cinema.
00:42month,
00:42When you see that today it's more than €12 for an adult ticket, it's complicated.
00:45Especially since everyone knows the film itself, and honestly, it's just a film that everyone
00:48The world will watch it streaming later.
00:49Obviously, this throws everything into question, especially when you're prepared to lose over 150 million.
00:53dollars,
00:53Do you really want to make a sequel?
00:54Before its release, it was being considered, and it is apparently now at a standstill.
00:57After the good news, the animated franchise is not going down with the ship.
01:00The development of a potential Vaiana 3 is not threatened by this flop.
01:03and should, in turn, see the light of day.
01:04In any case, don't expect to see Moana 2 in live action before at least 2030.
01:08So what do you think, and don't forget to subscribe?
