Everything I've read has PatF at 105mil budget. So Even with a low marketing budget (I remember it getting a lot of push) it didn't make profit in the theatrical run. I'm as big a supporter of the film as there is. There wasn't many people besides me here pushing for a ride after it came out. But success in its own right is kind of a stretch. In reality it was the final nail in the 2d coffin.

Actually the final nail in the coffin was the 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie.

So, no, everything you just said is wrong.

How is everything I said wrong? You're the guy saying PatF was a success. It's my third favorite animated Disney movie of all time. But I'm not going to try and convince people it was some success. If it's lucky, it only lost 50mil. And if you think pooh was the nail in 2ds coffin, wow. Pooh looks to have lost around 20mil in comparison. So I'd say that's less, making PatF the bigger looser.

I hope the scene right before Elio addresses the alien council is Captain Gantu leading Stitch away.

Disney has shifted the release date of Elio one week to June 20, 2025 (previous release date was June 13).

I believe live action How to Train Your Dragon is June 13th so shifting Elio off that date makes sense

Why? Can't Elio stand it's own against HTTYD?

Elemental was hobbled at the starting gate because it opened directly against The Flash (which wasn't a rising tide that lifted all boats), and Wish couldn't hold its own against the second weekend of Trolls Band Together. Right now, Disney Corporate isn't going to be taking any chances launching original films that don't have a preestablished audience, and this particular movie has clearly had enough problems as it is, so I think this move is the right one.

Wish couldn't hold it's own against a re-release of Plan 9 from Outer Space.

If they were smart they would let Lilo & Stitch have more room to breath and push Elio out even more. HTTYD will be sucking up money for longer than a week.

I'm not sure where they could push Elio to. The week after the new date isn't crowded, but would give it just 5 days to make bank before Jurassic World Rebirth opens, then Superman opens the weekend after that. Pushing it all the way to the 18th of July puts it just one week before Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Disney won't put two giant movies on top of each other like that. (It's also the same day as the latest Smurfs movie.) The first weekend of August would put it directly against The Bad Guys 2, and the weekend after that is already booked by Disney with Freakier Friday.

After that, the only month "open" for Elio would be September, since Tron: Ares is getting the October slot, Zootopia 2 November/Thanksgiving, and Avatar: Fire and Ash December/Christmas. And as well as The Wild Robot went over with audiences and critics in a late September slot, it didn't do the kind of numbers Elio has to do in order not to be perceived as a flop.
