Elemental film debuted on June 16th, 2023, but hasn’t been as big of a success

According to Reuters, Elemental ended up having the second-lowest debut in Pixar history, bringing in around $30 million at box offices in the U.S. and Canada. Analysts had predicted that it would open with at least $31 million in these spots.

In terms of a global total, the film earned around $45 million between Friday and Sunday. There are a few factors that could be at play here though. First, Elemental has only opened in 3 major international markets so far and will be opening up in more countries soon, so that could have impacted things.

Also, it was a slower box office weekend for several movies, with The Flash having a less-than-stellar performance, bringing in $55.1 million. It could be that the Father’s Day holiday affected that.

Elemental‘s opening weekend ranks just above the $29.1 million earned for Pixar’s very first movie —Toy Story. Granted, that opening was in 1995, which was a very different time than 2023. But perhaps being down at the bottom with such good company will prove to be a good sign for Elemental in the end, if its box office results can improve.
