this didn’t flop FYI.

Now the 2nd highest grossing animated film this year and just took over across the spiderverse. Just sitting behind Mario

Early reports suggested it was going to flop but it’s supposedly a decent film critically and publicly and did well by word of mouth.

It didn't exactly set the world on fire in the UK bud, which is what this thread's release will likely be relating to. Considerably less than both Spiderverse 2 & Mario. $19M vs $39M & $68M.

Actually it's made $230M less worldwide than Spiderverse, so idk where you pulled that snippet of info from either :rofl:

International box office.

Elemental just passed Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse at the International Box office, according to Discussing Film. Elemental now has an international box office of $307.2 million compared to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's $305.9 million, making the Pixar romantic comedy the second highest grossing animated film of 2023 thus far in international markets.
 
Elemental budget: $200 million
Marketing budget: $100 million
Grossed $300 million.
Needed to break even:~$600 million
= Flop with a $300 million loss.

International, in this sense meaning everywhere other than the US. If you include the total worldwide revenue it's down $230M from Across the Spiderverse, which is a considerable loss.

It made less than half of Across the Spiderverse at both the US and UK box office. $458M (worldwide), $151M (domestic) and $19M (UK) is a p!ss poor result for a Disney/Pixar film. A flop.

Yeah, and both Across the Spiderverse and Mario Movie had 100 mil budgets.
They keep wasting 300 on each, they'll keep losing, not everything is going to be a billion dollar hit, there seems to be a limit how much people will watch and pay, so that is exactly the problem with today's Hollywood. Especially if it's something tired and unoriginal, like superhero cucarachas, and Elemental - which haven't seen yet, but it looks like a mix of Zootropolis and Inside Out.
 
LOL this is full gloss!! Why the f**k couldn’t guardians and little mermaid be the same?!?!? So weird
