The Disney Movies That Bombed Over Thanksgiving
Over the Thanksgiving weekend in 2024, Moana 2 broke numerous box office records, strengthening Disney’s long-standing dominance during this holiday period. Since releases like Three Men and a Baby and Oliver & Company in 1988, Disney has consistently chosen either Thanksgiving or the days leading up to it as the ideal time for launching significant animated and live-action films. The most successful of these have been productions from Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar, but live-action hits such as Unbreakable and The Muppets have also premiered in theaters during this festive season.
