Well well welll....

Despite its availability on Streaming, On-Demand, DVD and Blu-ray, A Wrinkle in Time increased 2,000% between Thursday and Friday and has now crossed $100,000,000. At risk of committing a macro-aggression, I’m calling bullshit.

[AndyDursin]

Oprah buy up the tickets for empty theaters? May be the biggest joke in box office history.

From Box Office Mojo:

“Outside the top ten, we'll begin with Disney's successful push to get A Wrinkle in Time to the century mark as the film brought in an estimated $1.77 million from 245 locations for a domestic cume that now totals $100 million.”

[AndyDursin]

Unreal. Disney's "push" for a film nobody liked? I vote for the Oprah buyout, like local companies gobbling up tickets to avoid an NFL blackout.

[Johnmgm]

As a Disney stockholder, I will not be happy if any corporate funds were used to artificially inflate gross earnings for the aggrandizement of any filmmakers or executives.

Now we know how Disney did it. They paired A WRINKLE IN TIME with THE INCREDIBLES 2 at drive-ins.

That makes sense but wow, talk about a cheap way of puffing up a gross!
