Disney did not have a good 2023 in terms of releases, with their latest animated movie, Wish, performing far below their expectations, and receiving negative reviews from critics. Live-action movies such as The Little Mermaid and The Marvels also proved lackluster financially, resulting in Disney breaking its impressive $1 billion box office streak for the first time since 2014. The studio currently has 7 confirmed projects that will be released throughout 2024, providing some hope that Disney will be able to turn things around over the next year.
