Part 3/12:
Historically, Pixar films have been box office darlings, frequently opening with numbers that set records and capturing the hearts of audiences worldwide. However, recent entries tell a different story: Onward (2020) and Strange World (2022), both struggled to find commercial resonance, with Strange World earning only around $38 million domestically—an indication of waning audience interest.
Variety reports that Elemental is poised to perform similarly to The Good Dinosaur (2015), which posted a modest $39 million opening, marking one of the worst starts in Pixar's modern history.
