How did Lightyear go in his first weekend after all his controversy?

After films such as Soul, Luca and turning Red a premiere in the cinema, in favor of Disney+, Lightyear is completely the great return of Pixar to the big screen. In this way, the expectations around the world are quite high. However, The performance of this tape during its first weekend has left much to be desired.

In the midst of all controversies related to the LGBT+ content that includes the film, it has been revealed that Lightyear_ only collected $ 51 million at the United States box office . This is less than the $ 70 million that were expected for this market. Regarding international cinema, another $ 34.6 million were generated thanks to 34 different markets.

This is not only a minor performance than expected, but the $ 51 million were not enough to face _JURSIC World Dominion, a tape that collected another $ 58.6 million dollars during the same period of time. Along with this, we must also add to top gun: maverick as a fairly strong competition for the animated tape.

Lightyear_ had a cost of $ 200 million before marketing , so Pixar's tape has a long journey before becoming a box office success. On related issues, Cinemex warns of LGBT+ kiss in the movie. Similarly, the film was prohibited in several countries for this reason.

Editor's note:

Together with the controversy of Lightyear, the film also faces strong competition. Both JURSIC World Dominion, and top gun maverick, and even everything Everywhere All at One, at least here in Mexico, are movies that everyone wants to see. It seems that if the tape does not get the expected success, Pixar could be relegated to just work for Disney+.
