Not just bad but record bad.....

Not mentioned in the article, the film claims the sibling of one of the two main characters is non-binary.



More losses and more bombs for Disney and Pixar which is owned by Disney.

 

That's pretty bad for a Pixar film.

 

People don't go to the movies to be preached at.

 

Still...
It has made over $121 Million Worldwide in just 2 weeks of release...

the Trailer- looks like a kids movie, what does the right think is wrong with it?

 

Movies at this level from Disney are costing $350-400 million to make and market. To be profitable on on the level they want as a summer blockbuster movie, they'd need to make $700 million+ worldwide.

Those are the types of numbers a Disney summer blockbuster should be making as an example.

 

Super Mario Bros had a game fan following, both young and old

 

The same is true of the Pixar studio. Most people have been following and wanting to watch every movie they've put out for years.

 

I never heard of it, but it seems to have raked in $121M, not $29.6M

"With another $65.5 million at the domestic box office, “Elemental” has generated $121 million globally to date."

Yes, its a kids movie, but some people are offended by just about anything.

 

A. every film can't be a hit. It's just unrealistic to expect that.

B. Earning are growing by leaps and bounds with international release and growing box office take here in the US. Toy story started out pretty weak too and look at it now.

 

No one said "every film" but Pixar and Disney are known for producing animated blockbusters. Disney in particular have bought studios like Lucasfilm, Marvel, and Pixar and they didn't do it for indy documentaries.

Toy Story was the first Pixar film and the public literally didn't know what sort of film and product they were getting then. It's like saying Ironman or Star Wars Episode 4 started off differently.

We are talking decades later and you're trying to justify the worst performing Pixar movie ever.

 

Yeah...
$423 Million Worldwide (and still counting)...
Sounds like a real "bomb"...

 

"After a slow start, Elemental has now grossed over $400m at the global box office, making it one of Pixar's most successful releases"
