'Woke' Disney Movie's Low Box Office Sales Blamed on Ron DeSantis
"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is to blame for Disney Pixar's Elemental's disappointing performance at the box office, according to social media.
The movie has been slammed as "woke" by its detractors for including a nonbinary character, at a time when DeSantis has been embroiled in a culture war with the corporation over the "Don't Say Gay" bill. The feud between Republican governor and the family entertainment company has rumbled on for over a year now, with many of DeSantis's supporters turning against the House of Mouse.
Some conservatives are suggesting the raging war has effected the opening of the new animated movie Elemental. Pixar's latest movie had an estimated budget of $200 million but reportedly took in just $29,600,000 in its opening weekend across the United States and Canada, according to Box Office Mojo. It came in at second place in the box office charts behind DC's The Flash, which made $55 million."
