Well it looks cool, by which I mean literally "looks." Whether there's anything to the story, I can't possibly guess.

It's Pixar, so chances are very good.

Elemental's Box Office Is One Of Pixar's Lowest Debut In 3 Decades Since Toy Story

Pixar's Elemental isn't doing so hot.

screenrant.com

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Elemental debuted at $11.8 million on Friday and is projected to earn between $28 million and $32 million through its opening weekend. Depending on where it falls, this could be the lowest-earning opening weekend Pixar has had since Toy Story's $29 million take in 1995. Even then, Toy Story's box office take has not been adjusted for inflation, making Elemental's box office figures even more disappointing.

After Lightyear became a financial disaster for Disney and Pixar, several key Pixar executives were fired, and the studio was left to leave its hopes with Elemental. Unfortunately, Elemental was met with critical to mixed reviews after screening at the Cannes, although its Rotten Tomatoes score increased to its current 75 percent following more screenings. However, with Elemental having a budget of $200 million, Pixar faces another major loss and likely a second box office bomb after Lightyear since it will take efforts to recoup that high budget.

And people wonder why they are making Toy Story 5?

Pixar is trying some original content and falling flat.

 

[WaywardFan]

No one wonders why they are making Toy Story 5.

It was facetious.

My daughter wants to see this. I will take her probably this weekend. She wasn't as excited to see this as past films. She can't wait for the next inside out for example. I think part of this was the marketing. There were not characters she immediately latched onto.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Their gonna lose a ton of money here.....

Still better than the flash however. ha!

Almost $400m worldwide, not international. $145m US and $249m international.

And yes it's still a flop because it had a $200m budget. It's not even close to making it's money back yet with that split.

Curious why you are so married to posting these types of things all the time.

Yeah, I correct that as you were replying.

Once it goes to streaming on Disney+, merchandise, etc. it’ll come close to breaking even.

Far better than what Many were projecting after opening weekend

 

[Dback Jon]

It’s also the first Pixar story to at least five times it’s opening weekend number since the original toy story

Yeah. It’s still a flop. Same as Transformers.

Curious why there’s any reason he shouldn’t post these type of things. I just did the same thing in the Transformers thread where Shane posted something similar. Don’t think there’s any ill-will intended when you’re just trying to correct info the original poster might not understand.

I just think Devil’s a box office junkie like me.

That said, this sucker had great legs. Too bad it came out of the gate with such a weak open. But the fact that it did go on to make solid bucks in this box office climate is good news for theaters.

Honestly, running numbers like that is one of my aspie traits. It's similar to running baseball stats for me. It's interesting to see how numbers run out and the totals vs what they cost to make. Trends and patterns appear.

Yeah. I’m a box office junkie too. No clue why, but the numbers, trends and comps all fascinate me for some reason.
