After becoming one of Disney's biggest box office flops in years, StrangeWorld is now the No. 1 most-watched movie on Disney+.
After bombing at the box office, Disney's Strange World is currently the No. 1 movie on Disney+. Strange World is an animated sci-fi adventure film from Disney that released in theaters on November 23. The film, which features an ensemble cast led by Jake Gyllenhaal and Lucy Liu, was notable for introducing Disney Animation's first openly LGBTQ+ lead character, Ethan Clade .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite a disastrous run in theaters, Strange World is currently topping the charts on Disney's streaming service, Disney+ . The film overtook Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl and Avatar, which have both been trending high in the past week, understandable for the latter considering the recent release of Avatar: The Way of Water. Strange World only hit Disney+ on December 23, but will be closing out 2022 as the No. 1 most-watched movie.
Another potential reason for the film's box office flop is the date of its release, which perfectly aligned with the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever only two weeks prior.
Despite being a box office bomb, however, there is potential for Strange World to become massively successful on streaming services. Many viewers compare the film to Encanto, which had an underwhelming premiere in theaters on opening weekend, but managed to become a massive success after buzz from fans, critics, and boosts on social media. With Strange World now available to watch on-demand at home, perhaps the animated film will finally get the attention it deserves.
