Film critic Christian Toto reflects on the poor box office performance of Disney movie 'Strange World' and whether there's a connection to the movie's openly gay teenage character.
Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse, argues Walt Disney built his empire on 'moral, good entertainment' and that the leadership today has 'turned their back on what Disney stood for.'" is underperforming at the box office and is estimated to ultimately lose $147 million. The film also features the first openly LGBTQ+ teenaged Disney character who discusses his crush in the movie.
Film critic and author Christian Toto said of the movie bombing: "Hollywood doesn't fully grasp the ‘go woke, go broke’ mantra." Talking to Fox News Digital, he added, "In some cases, parents are avoiding content with sexual conversations. Parents are [savvier] today. They use social media and get feedback on films from their peers either online or in person."
"Strange World" is about the explorer family the Clades. In the movie, young Ethan talks to his grandfather about his same-sex crush on another boy. Toto added that there could be multiple reasons for the film’s poor performance, but noted that discussion of sexuality in a children's movie "certainly didn't help the film's box office fortunes.
