Yeah the bare minimum is like 150m domestic/400m worldwide for Elemental to keep Wish safe from Trolls 3 and Elio from KFP4. Anything lesser, and the non-sequels stuff and more riskier sequels will get regularly bullied by tentpoles in their spots.

 

Elio might be an even bigger risk than Elemental considering its release date and its subject matter. 

[AniNate]

Elio's range probably depends in part on how Elemental does. Its broad synopsis seems pretty mainstream-friendly but I have a hunch the details may end up being somewhat less so.

 

I think it's interesting that Elemental is being screened at an LGBT-themed film festival in San Francisco next month, though I'm not jumping to any conclusions yet.

It's risky because animated sci-fi is almost always box office poison. 

[AniNate]

Yeah, but Pixar has a successful precedent

And Elio looks like a remake of Mars needs Moms

OK... how?

Disney is already stepping up on marketing front for sure.

Wall-e is a sci-fi animated movie... It made 500 million worldwide.

[AniNate]

I anticipate the screening tomorrow will let out around 6pm EDT, with review embargo lifted at same time

Wall-E is one of the few notable exceptions. But even then, the $521M it made was less than Ratatouille ($624M) and Up ($735M).

This is pretty good tbh. They should also try to muscle in a fan screening in the next few weeks before OW. Let WOM spread.

They're also doing a promotional tour of the film's setting.

 

Regardless of how it turns out, it seems like Disney is doing their best not to have another Strange World on their hands.

I wonder if there will be press screening tomorrow on NY / LA considering not many people will see at Cannes since most of the big outlets aren’t there for the final day

[AniNate]

It'll probably be mostly British/French reactions but I know a few RT critics are gonna be there. You can be certain Screen Daily will have a review out as they cover all of Cannes.

I think if they had led with promo like this (or more of it at least), there wouldn't already be so many people brushing it off as "Oh, star crossed lovers" or "I've seen this before in Zootopia".

[JWR]

They uploaded it in English. I hope this wows people at Cannes.

I think they're betting on that being a surprise.
