Disney’s “Wish” Breaks $200 Million At Global Box Office

Several weeks after arriving in theaters, the numbers continue to grow for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Wish, which has now earned over $200 Million globally.

What’s Happening:

  • While it may have taken a bit longer than other titles, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ latest film, Wish has broken $200 million in the global box office.
  • The film, now the fourth highest grossing animated release of 2023 worldwide, broke the $200 million mark in its seventh weekend.
  • Deadline reports that “the drop was good at 26% with another set of strong holds including in the Netherlands (+5%), Germany (-12%), Italy (-16%), Japan (-19%), Australia (-27%), France (-28%), Spain (-33%) and the UK (-40%).”
  • Wish came in at a solid $4.6 million for the new market of Korea, marking this as the best Walt Disney Animation Studios or Pixar Animation Studios opening since the global COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Wish opened at No. 2 in Brazil with $1.7 Million, putting it ahead of Encanto, Illumination’s Migration and Pixar’s Elemental.
  • The film also took the top spot  in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, coming in ahead of another animated release, Illumination’s Migration.

  • Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Wish is an all-new musical-comedy welcoming audiences to the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force—a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico—to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.
  • Featuring the voices of Academy Award-winning actor Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Asha’s favorite goat, Valentino, the film is helmed by Oscar-winning director Chris Buck (Frozen, Frozen 2) and Fawn Veerasunthorn (Raya and the Last Dragon), and produced by Peter Del Vecho (Frozen, Frozen 2) and Juan Pablo Reyes Lancaster Jones (Encanto). Jennifer Lee (Frozen, Frozen 2) executive produces—Lee and Allison Moore (Night Sky, Manhunt) are writers on the project. With original songs by Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Julia Michaels and Grammy-winning producer/songwriter/musician Benjamin Rice, plus score by composer Dave Metzger, Wish is currently playing only in theaters.
