Disney's Biggest Box Office Bomb of 2026 Officially Begins Its Streaming Redemption Arc

While 2026 has offered up several unexpected blockbusters — look no further than the summer's two horror breakouts, Obsession and Backrooms — there have been a handful of underperformers as well. Amazon MGM released the blockbuster Project Hail Mary, but the studio also watched Masters of the Universe crash and burn with less than $120 million worldwide against a reported budget of $175 million. Warner Bros. has had a notoriously difficult year, with major flops such as Supergirl drawing intense negative buzz after grossing around $125 million worldwide against a reported budget of more than $180 million. More recently, the studio's ambitious political satire Digger emerged as one of the biggest bombs of all time, with a projected final haul of under $50 million against a reported budget of $180 million. And then there's Disney. The studio had two massive underperformers this year, one of which has already failed to redeem itself on streaming. Now, it's the other film's turn to try and save face.

The movie in question made its Disney+ debut recently, several weeks after The Mandalorian and Grogu. The Star Wars spin-off grossed less than $350 million worldwide against a reported budget of $160 million, emerging as the franchise's lowest-grossing live-action installment, and the lowest-grossing movie after Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm. But guess what, Disney had a bigger underperformer in its future. Released two months after The Mandalorian and Grogu, the movie cost a reported $250 million to produce, but grossed only around $325 million globally.
