I didn't mention goodwill to Pixar because there is a huge layoff going on there but yeah. Also if Elio kept its place these releases would not be happening.
Someone random on twitter asked why they would release these movies in theaters, and risk getting another black eye to its reputation. I think that it was just generally the right thing to do, and it was worth the roll of the dice. And I personally enjoyed these movies so yeah lol.
Well, given how some other re-releases went, maybe. Nightmare Before Christmas made $10 million last year. But I think after Soul bombed and didn't crack $1 million, everyone knew that Turning Red was going to be on the latter end of the scale.
I personally estimate Turning Red will have a $240,000 Friday. Compared to Soul's $120,000 Friday. Could be wrong though. Just based on my snooping on the shows.

I ultimately think that a sequel would be diminishing returns for Disney, making at most $400 million WW, and with a budget of $200 million, that's a little dicey. However, Pixar is laying off hundreds of people so I guess their budgets are going down...
In fairness I feel that Disney has mostly abandoned the disk market. Disney plus really put a damper on the whole buying a blu ray for the kids thing. The only Disney stuff that made the list in 2023 was Marvel and Indiana Jones...
Interesting though I see both Encanto and Turning Red were on the top 50 disk sales for 2022, but they are far less dominate on physical sales as they are on streaming.
