June is WAAAY overcrowded. Elemental should have moved to July 28 (With Haunted Mansion moving to October) and Transformers 5 should have moved to August.I didn’t realize so many movies were opening this weekend!

It would be nice if these wannabe film portals would source their claims. I'm not saying that someone somewhere doesn't have it at $35M, but *who* is saying that?
I believe those numbers are making the round today from this Matt Belloni tweet -
It would be helpful if you read the actual articles you're quoting completely my friend.Yes, April 30th, six weeks ago. Looking ahead at the summer season that began in May.
The point stands. $600 Million domestic box office for Elemental???
And if it performs on par with, or worse than, Lightyear... what then?![]()
I know it's not the end of Pixar, but I'm afraid their doom!Please tell me if I'm overreacting!
Perhaps. But it would be odd to root for Elemental to fail.I don’t think anyone wants Pixar to fail. Just certain movies to fail.

All predictions are for the Worldwide totals, not domestic. They state it in their first paragraphs:
"Here are our predictions for what the top 10 of the summer will look like and what the worldwide gross of each film may be: "
It was before any box office tracking had started on any of those films.
Also and if it does worse than Lightyear, so what? Disney/Pixar will regroup, Iger already stated they are going back to do Toy Story 5 and Inside Out 2. So we know it'll be sequels again for awhile with Pixar.
Mario just made over $1.3 billion - the box office potential is there, it’s about making movies people actually want to see.
And the DGA just signed a new contract, they did not strike.
Box office still lags, which is the point. There are only a handful of movies that have been successful, and honestly they aren't stellar movies either. Mario was just an ok movie filled with memberberries for Nintendo fans.Mario just made over $1.3 billion - the box office potential is there, it’s about making movies people actually want to see.

However, Elemental did not yet receive an audience score. Meanwhile, DC-made The Flash, despite having lower Rotten Tomatoes score than Elemental (72%) due to Ezra Miller scandal, but the film have a audience score of 98%.Elemental is up to 80%…maybe the sky is not falling
I don't think the film industry should be defined by how many films each year reach $1 Billion because many of those numbers rely on tentpole franchises to release highly anticipated sequels, prequels, or remakes to established franchises. So the number of films that make a billion can be predicted based on past trends and not some new phenomenon.I am so sick of this "Mario just made over $1.3 Billion Dollars" narrative.
The Flash has had fan screenings so that is why there is an audience score. I haven’t heard of any early previews for Elemental so that is why it doesn’t have an audience score.However, Elemental did not yet receive an audience score.

Visually discordant to put it mildly. Looks like half a dozen animation styles thrown into a blender.Every character I've seen in this is ugly.
I know it's not a very well fleshed out thought, but I saw the plushes they released and dear God. Every character is ugly.
