The latest Disney movie has disappointed financially in its opening weekend, continuing the company's underperformance at the box office this year.

Wish, the latest animated offering from Disney, opened to $31.7 million over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, which included $19.5 million from Friday through Sunday. Original projections for the film had it opening to $35 million over the three-day weekend and $45 million to $50 million over the five-day weekend.

The movie's opening continues Disney's losing streak this year, with most of the other films from the company either underperforming or failing at the box office, including Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Little Mermaid remake, Haunted Mansion, and The Marvels.

Wish is the second Disney movie in a row to underperform while opening on Thanksgiving weekend, with last year's Strange World opening to $18.6 million over the five-day Thanksgiving release and only $11.9 million over the weekend. The opening of the 2022 film, which featured Disney's first openly gay teenager, was described as "a weak opening by Disney animation standards” by movie consultant David A. Gross.

Disney's performance at the box office this year is a far cry from how its movies performed a few years ago. Seven of the 10 highest-grossing films in 2019 were released by Disney, all seven of which grossed over $1 billion worldwide.

Disney's financial woes come after the company spoke out against the Parental Rights in Education bill in Florida, leading to a feud between the company and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). Disney has recently been plagued by other controversies, including its decision to film 2020's Mulan remake near internment camps in China and ESPN, which is mostly owned by Disney, airing a special video about transgender athlete Lia Thomas during Women's History Month.
