Disney's first gay-teen feature film isn't just doing poorly at the box office—it's bombing beyond anyone's wildest expectations

Last week brought with it the news that Disney's newest major film — a movie featuring the company's first openly gay teenage character — was, well, not doing great at the box office:

Well, what about this week, though? Are things looking up? Is good word-of-mouth helping to boost the movie's prospects? Is it starting to recoup its budget?

In a word: No.

Disney's animated movies generally fare very well with audiences, but their latest offering is turning into somewhat of a fascinating enigma.

"Strange World" has received a CinemaScore rating of B, the lowest rating ever for a Disney animated feature, or at least since the rating was measured a few decades ago. Every single Disney animated film since "Beauty and the Beast" has received some form of an A, from A+ to A-.

Even worse, it's bombing at the box-office, grossing a disappointing $4.2 million on Wednesday as it eyes a five-day total of under $24 million. Those are concerning numbers for a film with a budget of $180 million. It won't make its money back, not even close.

Here's the clincher:

Deadline's Anthony D'Alessandro is estimating that "Strange World" stands to bestow Disney with losses ranging at around $147 million. Yikes.

Folks, that's not just a bomb. That's an atomic bomb. It's an H-bomb. I mean like:

Hey Disney: Maybe if you include two gay teens in the next movie, it'll do better!
