Not that this is stopping the Wikipedophiles from doing damage control:
>It went on to debut to $19.5 million (and a total of $31.7 million over the five days), finishing in third behind holdover The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and Napoleon.[2] Variety attributed to lack of social media marketing and divided word-of-mouth as reasons for the low opening, but suggested the possibility that the film could leg out in a similar way as Pixar's Elemental earlier that year.
Opinion based on trailer and very light research.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this movie tanking has nothing to do with people getting a red medication.
The artstyle is meh. I don't mind, but I've heard that some people just couldn't get over it. And when you compare the trailer to.... FUCKING LET IT GO, then you can see, just how much they sacrificed by giving up on the realistic reflections.
The main hero is the blandest bland slate. A tumblerina with a marvel humor, that people are in fact getting allergic to. That can be overlooked, when the villain is perfect, but he's just right in this story. Sooooo, you cannot root against him.
next up: finally the politics. This one has 3 core pillars. Left, right and center.
Right wing is not blind. We know disney isn't making movies for us. Left is a bit more complex. This movie was supposed to be celebration of 100 years of Disney. The marketing was centered around "returning to tradition etc..." So, that is also quite repulsive to leftoids.
And the center is jist fucking tired. They are still willing to swallow the progressive feminine cock, but they are getting allergic to anything connected to "the culture war". And the Wish got mentions of the war from both sides, so they couldn't avoid the "ick" of it being a political movie.
Also..... The premise is outright evil.

And when it comes to the price, there are 2 levels of the problem.
1) Confirmation culture.
If I tell you to draw a painting, you can just get to it, or you can ask me for reference, size, cost limits, color pallet etc etc... And each of these iterations will multiply the time and money needed to complete it. This is kinda needed to make a big project connect from multiple people across months of work, but it grew out of hand, since
2) Labor laws and anti discrimination laws make it impossible to fire some people even if they were on a protest (read: literally sitting on their asses for months)
