There marketing of this has been questionable at best.
IMO Disney needs to do what WB used to do back in the day. If they introduced a new character it was in a cartoon short shown before a movie... I think the kids would love a 5 or 10 minute cartoon before a movie, and if the character takes off then give them their own feature.
They could have easily featured Elio and Glordon, then billed this as an origin story...kinda like when Han met Chewie.
