Tim Burton‘s Dumbo underwhelmed at the box-office with a lousy, by Disney standards, $45 million domestic intake. The original “Dumbo” is nearly 78-years-old, its fanbase isn’t as apparent as say “Beauty and the Beast” or “The Lion King,” which millennial and Gen X audiences grew up on.
Burton’s film might not even hit $100M.
Now the question is whether Spidey can become the first movie to cross $1 billion domestically. With its legs having slowed down, and $63M in receipts still needed, I highly doubt it.
