I honestly doubt they considering this a dud movie. Its a high budget spin off of one of the most loved movie IPs they own featuring a major drawing of actors. By all accounts it should have been a slam dunk movie.
The problem I really think is the "Progressive" side of the company trying to push the gay scenes harder, and the "Corporate" side making sure its kept cuttable for the Chinese/ME releases. This schism wouldn't be at a stalemate forever, and this movie seems to be lighting it up a bit.
Most of the world either hates, wants to kill or are uncomfortable with rainbow people.
Only place where rainbow people can have power is in the West and even then, they only exist on twitter and some large cities. And I guarantee a lot of people are tolerant, but are uncomfortable or have that "uncanny valley" feeling when dealing with these rainbows.
I think the West's embrace of the rainbow people is largely to stick a thumb in the eye of Christianity, which they loathe. Same reason they embrace Islam, despite having 180 degree opposing views on everything. Anything that subverts traditional Christian and/or American values is a good thing in their mind.
And that's why the Corpo side will eventually win.
