God damn, it might not even match the opening of the first film for its entire run. It saw it last night and…yeah maybe this should have stayed a one and done franchise.

I’m glad Elio is having good WOM, even if I just thought the movie itself was decent. Quite frankly, seeing how three days and a holiday are rolled up into that $9m figure, I’m not even sure it can guarantee $20m for the weekend. This wouldn’t have stung so hard if Pixar wasn’t coming off the heels of the behemoth that was Inside Out 2. This is going to open to the same about that made in its fifth goddamn weekend. We’re a long way away from the time where each Pixar movie felt like an outright event.

Not the first time an A24 movie looked stronger in the tracking thread because it massively overindexed in metropolitan areas. I’ll take double digits as a win.
