Only 35 million for Elio: a historic craxar crash
The latest original opus in the studio is a flop around the world. To the point of questioning the studio strategy?
The years go by but are not alike in Pixar.
After exploding all records in 2024 with Vice-Versa 2 And its $ 1.7 billion in revenue is an intergalactic crash that Elio In 2025.
With 35 millions $ of global revenues – barely 14 millions internationally and 21 millions in the USA – Elio Simply records the worst start in the history of the studio.
So far, the worst world launch for Pixar was detained by Elementaryreleased in 2023, with 44,5 millions in the world. And that can give a little hope to Elio.
Because despite its cat before, Elementary had benefited from an excellent word of mouth and had ended up taking off to reach almost $ 500 million global revenue at the end of the fiscal year. Disney hopes the same scenario for Eliowhich received a very positive welcome from the public and the press, displaying a good 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The nice intergalactic tale on friendship will have to show a longevity exceptional in theaters to try to compensate for its cost of production of 150 million dollars (hors marketing international).
But whatever it may, it shows that the suites make significantly more recipes than the originals at Pixar.
Fortunately, the studio does not only look at the figures and Pete Doctor confided In a recent interview at first that the studio always predicts “one for a “that is to say produce as many original films as there are suites. Besides, the next Pixar at the cinema will still be an original, with Hoppers (a robotic and animal tale) which will be released in March 2026. The studio will draw two suite: Toy Story 5 (June 2026) and the Incredibles 3 (June 2027). Pixar will then unveil Gattohis original on a cat in Venice (June 2028) before engaging on Coco 2 (mars 2029).
We will recall that Pixar belongs to Disneywhich plays on several tables at the same time. And if Elio Floppe, the group can rejoice in the box of Lilo & Stitch version live-action.
The film has already reported $ 910 million worldwide – dont 523.6 million internationally – In just five weekends. He should become the first film of the year to cross the billion.
Note that the competitor DreamWorks- which belongs to Universal – does not sail in the same spheres: his live remake of Dragons Totalize for the moment 385 millions Dollars in global revenue.
