Crucially, Turning Red was _not_ released in theatres in most countries due to COVID-19. It may or may not have been a money loser, but there's very little reason to believe executives think it's anything about the movie that made it that way.
- nohaydeprobleme 3y agoYes, Turning Red's low revenue was primarily a cause of the film not being in theatres, rather than the quality of its story. I personally liked the story of Turning Red very much (though I'm biased to like it because it's set in Toronto), but more objectively, the film is a step above Strange World and Lightyear in terms of ratings. Turning Red's ratings: 95% on the Tomatometer of Rotten Tomatoes (RT), 7.0/10 on IMDb, and 3.7/5 on Letterboxd Lightyear's ratings: 74% on RT, 6.1/10 on IMDb, 3.0/5 on Letterboxd Strange World's ratings: 72% on RT, 5.6/10 on IMDb, 3.0/5 on Letterboxd

- ultrasaurus 3y agoAccording to Wikipedia it did pretty well: ...the most-ever for a Disney+ original title... the most watched program across all streaming services in the U.S. ... continued to hold the top position ... the second most-watched movie on U.S. streaming services in 2022. I don't know how it could've cost $175MM, but it's a quality movie and deserves kudos for giving us some diversity in protagonists.
