Bombs.
"Why" is a hot topic on the interwebs today.
Take your pick:
-It was "woke". There's apparently a lesbian kiss (and I think they have a baby during the course of the movie?) and Chris Evans said during the lead up to the film that anyone that disagrees with such things will soon be extinct, which right or not, isn't a wide business move. The lesbian kiss also got it banned in 16 countries, which would obviously affect the box office.
-Chris Evans voiced Buzz instead of Tim Allen. (This is getting the majority of the attention, which is shocking.)
-It had nothing to do with any other Toy Story stuff.
-It was very poorly advertised.
I personally think it was not using Allen and piss poor advertising.
When you go away from OG voices in animation, it tells the audience this will be subpar garbage. Even if you grab an A lister.
