Elemental earned an estimated $29.5 for the three-day weekend, the lowest wide weekend debut ever for a Pixar title outside of Toy Story, which started off with $29.1 million nearly three decades ago, not adjusted for inflation. (Toy Story, of course, went on to make cinematic and box office history. Elemental isn’t expected to do the same.) Overseas, Elemental earned $17 million from its first 17 markets.

That's a 6th Underperformance in a ROW for Pixar.

 

Fire element Ember Lumen and water element Wade Ripple are sitting on a bench at the park surrounded by other anthropomorphized elements. "Elemental" is written on the bottom, with the theatrical release date "Only In Theaters June 16" in the middle and the billing block credits and MPA rating on the bottom.

The poster shows Joe Gardner in his human form walking down piano key-esque stairs with a cat and buildings of New York City as a backdrop. On the letter "L" in the film's logo, Joe's soul form is standing next to 22. On top, the film's release date, along with credits on the bottom.

Two boys on the water (Luca Paguro and Alberto Scorfano), with half of their bodies in their aquatic forms with sea monsters hiding under a dock. Above the water, various characters with an village as a backdrop.
The poster shows a corkboard with various decorations, stickers, sticky notes, a magazine, as well as images of Mei, her classmates, and other characters, with the larger image showing Mei as a giant red panda and her classmates, with the Toronto skyline in the background. The tagline on top reads "Growing up is a beast." The film's logo is shown on the bottom along with its MPA Rating.

Buzz Lightyear in the space ranger suit sees the outer space on the right. "Lightyear" is written in the bottom middle corner, with the release date "June 17" on the bottom.

Is their dominance over?

it’s insane how Disney managed to destroy what once was THE most reliable brand in family entertainment

Soul, Luca, and Turning Red weren't exactly flops, though.

Turning Red and Soul were great imo with Luca being at least good. 
 

Lightyear and Onward though… :gaycat7:

Soul/Luca/Turning Red/Onward are unfair to consider flops given the circumstances

Yawn, more sensationalized threads to attract  toxic opinions. These are the same people who will brandish their pitchforks when another Marvel movie is announced and claim Hollywood only creates sequels.

Pretty unfair to call most of these flops when they were sent to Disney+ and had no chance (which, make no mistake, is a huge part of why Elemental is performing the way it is)

Elemental is good, I am sad people don’t want to give it a chance and instead ride on the hate bandwagon

Soul and Turning Red were so good.

 

The pandemic and the subsequent streaming deals really destroyed the want for families to go see these movies in theatres though. Why would they spend all that money to see the new Disney/Pixar movie in the theatre when they could just wait a bit longer and watch it one night as a family at home? Disney/Pixar need to do something to convince people to get back to the theatre, such as waiting a good few months before a new movie is up on Disney+ or something like that. They're in a tough spot.

From the Elemental trailer I saw, the animation looked very cheap and low budget. It seemed to be missing Pixar’s regular spark.

Turning Red, Soul and Luca were not flops. They were successful on streaming.

The art style of turning red was really ugly. Glad it flopped. Encanto won. The characters of turning were so dumb and annoying too.....Watched some minutes and turned it off. 

Loved Luca-Raya. Onward was not that bad. Sadly the pandemic affected everything 
Buzz Light year was too "adult" "deep for kids" but i loved the artstyle
This one looks great. dont get why is flopping. Im watching it soon :gaycat4:
Havent watched Soul. Lemme check that one
