Disney's 'Wish' underperformed during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, generating $31.6 million, far below expectations. 'Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' claimed the top spot with $42.2 million. 'Napoleon' from Ridley Scott came in second. Despite initial underperformance, 'Wish' has potential for success on Disney+. 'Wish' received a 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was deemed a disappointing addition to Disney's animated film library. Despite the film's poor performance, Disney had an even worse box office flop over the Thanksgiving weekend with 'Strange World' grossing just $11.9 million in its opening weekend.
