Wish's release date and where to stream
Disney has confirmed that Wish, an animated film directed by Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn, will be released on Disney+ on April 3, more than four months after its theatrical release in November 2023. The film follows Asha as she makes a wish and receives more than she bargained for when a mischievous wishing star comes down from the heavens. The film also became available for purchase on physical media platforms starting March 12.
Wish features a charming princess, evil royalty, and classical animation. It returns to Disney's roots as the company celebrates its 100th anniversary, focusing on marketing efforts as the movie's return to Disney's roots is a significant part of its marketing strategy.
Wish has a low Rotten Tomatoes score of 48% and a score of 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics criticize the movie for its over-reliance on nostalgia and its lack of new elements. Despite the stunning animation, the story lacks a sense of novelty. The film's user score on IMDb is 5.6 out of 10, and on Metacritic is only 3.6 out of 10.
Its opening day was a box office disappointment as it only earned $8.3 million, which is lower than the opening day for Pixar's Elemental. It also earned $3.9 million on Thanksgiving Day, $8 million on Black Friday, and $564,000 on Christmas Day. As of February 2024, Wish has grossed $63,918,394 in the US and Canada, and $187,530,593 in other territories, for a worldwide total of $251,448,987 combined.
Made on a reported production budget of around $200 million, this means the movie almost certainly lost money after marketing costs and theaters' cuts are factored in. Wish is sure to remain a divisive Disney movie, but its release on Disney Plus will mean that it now has an opportunity to reach those who didn't check the movie out in theaters or purchase it on VOD.
