cannastop Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Elemental would need to have 99.9th percentile legs in Japan to make $500 million ww. Which fair, it did have those kind of legs in Korea and NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they need to cut anything as long as their movies still make money.  It... sort of did.  The important part is that Elemental quashed the narrative that Pixar is a dying brand and that audiences won't see original animation in theaters because of Disney+.  Furthermore, this should give Disney more incentive to let their movies have long healthy theatrical runs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 And to think, people were signing Pixar's death warrant when the OW numbers were released. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontofan Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 This film was more like old pixar I think. Maybe why it got bad reviews but it was a very simple nice film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deniima Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Looks like Elemental will be getting a decent-sized expansion this weekend, domestically. Let's hope it fares better than Mermaid did this past week lol (I'm sure it will). Edited August 30, 2023 by deniima 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it just has better late legs than Little Mermaid. I'm curious how it will do. It seems to be back in a lot of major cinemas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elemental is in a better position now, with 235 theaters currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLM did double DOM as Elemental, had a sing along version as the re-expansion, and was announced on a much longer notice. There's really no reason for Elemental to magically finish at $160m like some are throwing around just because Disney is slapping a Labor Day re-expansion on it.

My 160m was a bit optimistic but I can see a decent sized jump as Pixar Labor Day rereleases have done well. Cars 3 for instant added around 3M upon Labor Day weekend onward for its gross and it did about the same as Elemental, Inside Out added about 8M. The question is how wide of an expansion is it. If it’s about the same as TLM and around 2000 TC, then yeah it won’t happen but 2800-2900 TC it’s plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Elemental will finish at 160m dom but I do think the re-expansion will do better than the Little Mermaid's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
