Disney's 'Wish' Is A Theatrical Bomb And The Latest In A String Of Woke Failures

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Only a couple weeks ago the entertainment giant suffered one of its worst box office showings ever with the failure of The Marvels, a feminist driven girl-boss movie which was widely applauded by social justice advocates but ignored by the vast majority of the public.  The film is expected to lose $200 million to $300 million once receipts are totaled and marketing costs are accounted for.

In a bizarre attempt at maximum cope, the media is hailing The Marvels as the largest ever theatrical opening by a black female director.  When, in fact, the movie is actually the largest box office bomb made by a black female director.

Now, Disney's animated 'The Wish' is set to top that failure, falling well below box office predictions and bringing in only $32 million over a five day period including the once lucrative Thanksgiving weekend. 

Numerous reports suggest that Wish is opening to empty theaters across the country.  Media spin doctors have attempted to jump ahead of "get woke, go broke" accusations with articles claiming that the movie is not woke, but more "Libertarian" in its messaging.  This is, for the most part, a dishonest deflection.  The film's producers openly admitted their woke methodology in a number of interviews including their desire to inject Diversity and Inclusion messaging.

While the woke intent is more obscure than previous films, Wish features yet another precocious ethnic teen female (named Asha) banding together with her diverse cast of friends to fight a revolution against the white male patriarchy.  The main villain is, of course, a white guy named "King Magnifico" who rules over the kingdom of Rosas using the magical power to grant wishes.  However, the King doesn't grant everyone's wish, only some, and those who don't get their wish granted forget their wishes forever.
