I don't either and don't claim to be. I just saw all across social media the general concensus was that the trailer made the movie look dull and that it was a "wait until it comes on Disney+" type of film.

Elemental has now made close to $400 million worldwide. Considering how badly it started, that's pretty impressive.

It should pass $400 any day now. I hope the movie breaks out in Japan, but we shall see.

Pixar's Elemental Is Now The Biggest Original Hollywood Movie of ALL TIME!
Who writes this crap?
I thought this would be good news for a forum which has been bemoaning remakes and reboots and sequels and doubling down on IP franchises that pre-exist. And they want an original movie based on an original screenplay. And Elemental is such a movie, and among all such original movies since the pandemic it has earned the most. That should be good news for those who want original screenplays out of their movies.

I especially like when its said "just make better movies", as if Hollywood didn't think to do that.
Which shows that most are talking out a certain orifice.
"Elemental has weathered the storm.
The Pixar movie cleared the $400 million mark at the global box office on Tuesday, becoming the first Hollywood animated movie based on original IP to do so since before the pandemic. Elemental finished Tuesday with a domestic tally of $146.2 million and $257.5 million overseas for a worldwide total of $403.7 million.
While that’s far less than many Pixar titles, it puts Elemental well ahead of last year’s ill-fated Lightyear, which limped to $218.8 million globally. It also means Elemental, which cost a reported $200 million to make before marketing, won’t be a huge money theatrical loser after all."

"Elemental has also done well overseas, including turning into a juggernaut in South Korea, which leads all markets with $44.8 million so far. Per Disney, admissions are expected to hit 6 million on Thursday — meaning that tickets have been sold for one out of every eight people in that country. Other milestones achieved in South Korea include: No. 3 animated film of all time behind Walt Disney Animation’s two Frozen movies; No. 2 release of 2023 among all films behind local title Round Up; and No. 5 Hollywood release in the pandemic era after Avatar: The Way of Water, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Elemental opens in its final major market, Japan, on Friday."

OK, using the rule that Disney sees half of the 400m, Disney got back the cost to make it.
I do not know how much it cost to market it, but let's say, 100m, so they need to make another 200m at the box office to break even.

As of yesterday's global box office data, Elemental has now lost $113 Million.
But hey, Lightyear lost $189 Million last year, so Elemental is $76 Million less worse at the box office. Or something.

Yes.
In the theatrical window it will show a $200M loss.
It then goes into other windows to make more revenue and then streaming.
Imagine how many DVD sales will take place in Korea!

It doesn't count Oppenheimer i believe, due to nature that the film was based by the book American Prometheus. Therefore, Oppenheimer is not truly original film. Barbie is also not original film either, due to fact that the live-action version of Barbie was based by already established IP.Pixar's Elemental Is Now The Biggest Original Hollywood Movie Since The Pandemic - SlashFilm

Barbie was also animated movies.
So, Barbie is the thing this board hates the most: A live-action remake!!!

By the silly rule of thumb it’s going to show a loss well under $100 million. But the rule of thumb is completely arbitrary. It includes marketing costs that are intended to boost profits on secondary platforms but doesn’t include those platforms. The ignorance on these boards about how the entertainment industry actually works is matched only by the complete unearned confidence in that ignorance.
