Despite the lowest Rotten Tomatoes rating of the\u00a0<em>Toy Story\u00a0<\/em>franchise at 77% Certified Fresh, it\u2019s clear no one in great quantity is going to see the origin story of Buzz Lightyear. Understand that a\u00a0Pixar\u00a0movie and a\u00a0<em>Jurassic\u00a0<\/em>movie have played in close proximity to each other on the calendar before, and they both walked away with an embarrassment of riches. While we\u2019ve mentioned that spinoffs always open lower than the core franchise films (take your pick:\u00a0<em>Fantastic Beasts vs. Harry Potter, Hobbs &#038; Shaw vs. Fast &#038; Furious\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Bumblebee vs. Transformers<\/em>), this could be a case of going to the\u00a0<em>Toy Story\u00a0<\/em>well too soon, too fast, despite the fact that theater closures and a pandemic stood between now and the last\u00a0<em>Toy Story 4\u00a0<\/em>three years ago.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cGoing to the well too soon,\u201d lol.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel releases two and three movies a year.

You mean like that <em>going to the well too soon?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The two <em>Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> movies came out two years apart (2020, 2022) and the second one opened higher than the first ($58 million versus $72 million). You mean like that <em>going to the well too soon?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh, and both of those <em>Sonic<\/em> openings beat <em>Lightyear\u2019s <\/em>opening.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong><em>Watch below: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Then Deadline blames the critical reaction, even though <em>Lightyear <\/em>has an 80 percent fresh score at Rotten Tomatoes and <em>Jurassic World Dominion<\/em> is below 40 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Then Deadline blames the inflationary economy, even though in the past three weeks we\u2019ve seen both <em>Top Gun<\/em> and <em>Jurassic World Dominion<\/em> perform at or way above expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the bottom line, Disneytards: You don\u2019t gay up <em>Toy Story.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>This is <em>Toy Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You gayed up <em>Toy Story<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Are you out of your minds?<\/p>\n<p>No one cares if movies are made for homosexuals. Movies should be made for everyone. But you are never going to mainstream this stuff because \u2014 even though most people are afraid to say so \u2014 watching it makes 90 percent of us uncomfortable. Unless you are gay, same-sex sex, even a kiss, is unnatural and we don\u2019t go to the movies to be made uncomfortable. And we sure as hell don\u2019t go to the movies to have to explain human sexuality to our children before they\u2019re ready for it.<\/p>\n<p>How bad is this <em>Lightyear<\/em> opening?<\/p>\n<p>Well, three years ago, <em>Toy Story 4<\/em> opened to $<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/title\/tt1979376\/?ref_=bo_se_r_3\">121 million<\/a>. If these figures hold, <em>Lightyear<\/em> won\u2019t do HALF that.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to keep in mind is that there\u2019s no competition. The only kiddie movie still in theaters is <em>The Bad Guys<\/em>, which opened all the way back in April. After the resounding success of <em>Toy Story 4<\/em> and with a wide-open field at the box office, especially during the summer, <em>especially<\/em> over Father\u2019s Day, there was never a better time to open <em>Lightyear<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>But you had to use Disney\u2019s most iconic franchise and one of its most iconic characters to push your grooming agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I encourage all studios to make movies for all people, and that of course includes homosexuals. But it is immoral to add homosexuality to a kid\u2019s movie. Kids are not ready for this, their parents certainly aren\u2019t, and the crashing and burning of this $200 million piece of propaganda should tell you most people agree.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t imagine how bad this is. Expectations were already being managed with ridiculously low projections of a $60 to $85 million opening. The entertainment media had front-loaded a lowball so Disney could claim a win \u2014 even though it would not have been, even at $85 million.<\/p>\n<p>Woketards never learn.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Almost as dumb as gaying up <em>Lightyear<\/em> was replacing the beloved Tim Allen in the lead role.<\/p>\n<p>Woketards, smdh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lightyear, the latest piece of child grooming\u00a0media from the predators at the Walt Disney Co., is looking like a box office catastrophe, which is only a surprise to those who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1523709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1523709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1523709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1523709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1523709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1523709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1523709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
