    A bit too early to be getting nervous, don't you think?
  2. JWR
    It's risky because animated sci-fi is almost always box office poison.
  3. JWR
    Elio might be an even bigger risk than Elemental considering its release date and its subject matter.

    Getting booed at BU wasn't great for PR, but nothing too damaging. Pissing off the DGA, WGA, and SAG is a different story.
  5. JWR
    Because The Little Mermaid is cashing on an already much-loved animated film. Whereas this is wholly original and much riskier.

    It will need at least $50M just to sniff $200M DOM. $120-180M DOM is a more feasible goal. It doesn't need to be a mega hit, just needs to do well enough to prove that Disney Animation is still a draw for audiences in theaters.

    Not a good look, especially after getting publicly booed. It's amazing how quickly this guy is becoming the face of everything people hate about huge media conglomerates.

    They've been in FL before DeSantis came along, and they'll be in FL long after he's gone.

    It's a start, I suppose.

    IF this gets the same response as Up or Inside Out at Cannes, that could be what moves the needle.

    Reviews are going to make it or break it on Saturday.
  12. JWR
    I'll bet he is
  13. JWR
    Then again, they opted not to show Lightyear at Cannes, so...
  14. JWR
    We'll find out on Saturday.

    As always, Pixar movies will live and die based on word of mouth. This has the unfortunate job of needing to be their "comeback" after Lightyear.
  16. JWR
    At this point, I think they'd settle for this movie breaking even.

    I don't know if Justice League is a good example. They could have thrown the Teen Titans and Justice Society in that movie, yet it still would have had to pay for the sins of people not liking BvS.

    The latter is what especially sank him.
  19. JWR
    It still might.

    Three things have to go right for this movie just to have a chance at success: 1. The final stretch of marketing in the next 3 weeks reaches enough of the GA to put in on their radar 2. Enough people need to be in search of a non-blockbuster, light breezy family film they can take their kids to 3. The word of mouth needs to be stellar.
  21. JWR
    What else can they do?
  22. JWR
    To be fair, this was only two years after Sony used Nickelback....

    Conversely, pushing the immigrant stuff would just make it look too serious or have be accused of "woke."
  25. JWR
    And Inside Out used "Sweet Emotion."
