“Lightyear”, the new spin-off of “Toy story”, brought back the space guardian who conquered our hearts 27 years ago. The adventures of the character and the rest of the toys marked a generation, but his true story finally came to light.

According to Variety, the film has generated 85.6 million dollars worldwide, with a bleak forecast for the following days of exhibition. What is this about?
