Elio (2025) - Box Office and Financial Information
Financial analysis of Elio (2025) including production budget, domestic and international box office gross, DVD and Blu-ray sales reports.
Which is a shame, because it’s a better movie than a good chunk of the movies currently raking it in. It’s just not a safe IP sequel reboot audiences turn out for and has the added issue of being animated sci-fi
I didn't think it was very good compared to previous Pixar offerings. Its on the bottom fifth to me.
I was comparing it to the movies currently in theaters not previous Pixar entries. Also Wall*E is one of the few exceptions
We hear a lot of that lately
…the BRAND that isn’t appealing, could it?
Anything is possible professor, but if that was the case then Inside Out 2 wouldn't have soared to ~$1.7B.We hear a lot of that lately
It couldn’t be…gasp
How to Train Your Dragon and F1 were great.
I didn’t care for HTTYD because it was just HTTYD with actual people, other than the score being better it was just a ho-hum shot for shot remake. Certainly entertaining but not great
Next year we’ll probably see Hoppers flop, and if Toy Story still has juice in it
Maybe we'll see.
I think it’s a half truth
We hear a lot from you and some of the other people here that it's not the norm for big successful movies, the industry is shifting... Well I'd say inside out 2 isn't the norm. Just because one film killed it doesn't erase the brand erosion that's happened. Pixar was a must see theater event no matter what. That's just not the case anymore. Sure streaming hasn't helped but Disney and it's quality have been the biggest culprit in my opinion.
Got it… so what is working… live action remakes and sequels…. Prepare for much more of that…. Sounds like the branding is not the issue…. as people are seeing recognizable brands
So the "formula" is "known" properties? Because it can't just be about "heart". Because by all reports (including my own personal viewing) Elio has heart too, just like the other two.
I don't deny that some trust was lost in the "brand" due to some otherwise bad moves such as pushing some direct to streaming. But that doesn't explain why after all the positive reviews why some wouldn't just go and see it which would have built momentum. So that indicates to me that people are still more willing to wait to try an "unknown" property at home rather than risk seeing it at the cost of a ticket.
I think you are on target on that one. Too bad too.
I think that shows how much the technology has changed in the last 30 years. Sure they can go back and redo it, but I think many purists would be upset as that would be seen as ruining history.I think you are on target on that one. Too bad too.
What I would like to see to an 4K remaster of the original Toy Story with new assets instead of a TS5.
The 1995 humans haven't stood the test of time. It could look amazing with better assets.
Purists always scream but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Video games are remastered all the time. I don't see this as any different.
