“Lightyear” brought back the space ranger of our childhood in an unprecedented adventure. We not only got to know his origin story, but also his comrades-in-arms and how he started his rivalry with the evil Emperor Zurg.
Despite high expectations, the new Disney-Pixar bet had a world premiere below expectations. The most enthusiastic analysts anticipated that the film could take flight when the controversy over the LGBT scene has dissipated, but censorship in 14 countries played against it.

According to The Numbers, “Lightyear” ended its second weekend with just $17.6 million, a disastrous 65.1% drop from its first. A general collection that does not even recover the cost of production, 200 million dollars.
The situation has fans worried, since the post-credit scenes of the film gave rise to several sequels to build a film saga. However, Disney-Pixar plans could be canceled after the numbers recorded.
