    This is about to get very ugly.

    Really hoping they hone in on that heart in the final stretch.

    Happened with Inside Out, too.

    By God, this looks great.

    Running time is 110 minutes according to AMC. https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/elemental-62363

    It's not guaranteed to work, mind you. But more times than not, these movies are sold as being straightforward only for the actual story to be deeper.

    For all the complaints about Elemental looking like a "basic" Pixar film, I think that might help. It has an appealing straightforward premise that makes it easier to sell to audiences than Lightyear.

    Consider this: Inside Out came out a week after Jurassic World made $207M OW. Yet, the former still made $90M OW because it had incredible word of mouth and it was catered towards a different audience. The Flash will take the #1 spot that weekend but it's possible that Elemental can coexist with it.

    They practically already do.

    Winning cures everything. Lightyear was a misfire and Strange World only made things look more dire for Disney Animation. If this can at least break even or make a profit, that resets the narrative.

    Gotta say, it seems like they're playing their cards right with the marketing so far.

    A ringing endorsement if ever I've heard one.
  14. JWR
    Sounds like a good strategy, tbh. Tease the first 20 minutes now, then show the rest in a month.

    Already promoting it more than Strange World.

    Hard to think of a more disastrous start to a campaign.

    The Chapek shade continues: https://insidethemagic.net/2023/04/fired-disney-ceo-bob-chapek-was-not-our-friend-says-nato-chief-cj1/

    Huh, wasn't expecting that.

    They NEED this to be a hit. They've put all their eggs into this basket.
  24. JWR
    It's possible... if the word of mouth is strong enough. That was what doomed Lightyear more than the competition itself. Reviews for that were tepid, word of mouth was so-so, and animated science fiction tends to be box office poison.

    Ah, I definitely agree. "From the studio that brought you Inside Out and Coco" would definitely be the better way to sell this.
