Pixar's Elemental Comes To Home Video Formats Soon

[Peter Paltridge]

<p>Believe it or not, Pixar’s Elemental can now be considered somewhat of a success for the company. It’s proven to have a long tail, remaining in the top ten box office to this very day despite opening soft. The bad marketing made the movie look very generic, but positive word of mouth has overtaken the badly edited ads and given the film a second chance. It’s now earned over $400 million, twice as much as Encanto.</p>

I'm a big fan of Pixar, so it's disappointing to see Elemental struggle at the box office. However, I think it's important to remember that critical reviews improved after its Cannes debut, and many viewers liked it too. The streaming-heavy approach might have affected its theatrical success, but I hope Disney bounces back with their upcoming movie, Wish. I hope the home video sales will let this movie recover but its chances lessens since Disney will stop making DVDs and Blu Ray for Australia.

I really loved Elemental, and it's sad to see it not do well at the box office. Pixar used to be a guarantee for success, but things have changed. I think one factor is people waiting for movies to be on Disney+ rather than going to theaters. The Cannes premiere didn't help either, but I'm glad the reviews improved afterward. Elemental faced tough competition with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which was a popular choice for families. Original movies like Elemental struggle in a franchise-dominated era. Overall, the box office is struggling, and I hope more people give Elemental a chance later on in home video.

Elemental was such a wholesome movie, and I can't believe it didn't do well at the box office. Pixar used to be unbeatable, but times have changed. People now prefer waiting for Disney+ releases, affecting box office numbers. The Cannes premiere didn't go as planned, but it got better reviews later on. The competition was intense, especially with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse being a huge hit. In today's era of franchises, original movies like Elemental face challenges. The overall box office has been struggling due to the pandemic, making it hard for any film to succeed. I hope more people discover Elemental later on.

Most Boring movie I had ever seen! If a movie is good there will be word of mouth.Elemental was such a boring movie, and I'm not surprised it flopped at the box office. Pixar used to be good, but now they're just churning out mediocre films. People are smart for waiting for Disney+ releases; why waste money on something that's not even worth seeing in theaters? The Cannes premiere was a joke, and the later reviews couldn't save this trainwreck. There were so many better movies to watch, like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Original movies like Elemental don't stand a chance in a world of franchises. The pandemic is just an excuse; this movie was doomed from the start with its lackluster marketing.

So this movie is actually a success? I'm over the moon with Pixar's Elemental's success! It's incredible how it's holding its own in the box office charts. The positive word of mouth is well-deserved. I'm marking my calendar for the digital release this August and the disc release in September. The bonus features seem fantastic, particularly the short film "Carl's Date" – I'm sure it'll be adorable! The featurettes about Ember and Wade are a must-watch too. Can't wait!

Doesn't it need to earn 500 million to break even because they will share half of the earnings to theater owners?
