Pixar's Elemental achieves box office redemption, now doubling its budget after being deemed a box office flop following its opening weekend.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Pixar's Elemental has doubled its production budget despite being initially declared a box office flop. Elemental's opening weekend box office gross was less than $30 million, a disastrous debut for a movie with an approximately $200 million dollar budget. Since its opening weekend, Elemental has made significant gains at the box office and gradually made a comeback.
According to Box Office Mojo, Elemental's comeback has reached a major milestone as its worldwide box office reaches $400 million, meaning that the Pixar movie is now hitting the breakeven point of its production budget. This comes in light of its upcoming release in Japan on August 4, which could help extend its box office numbers for the following weekend.
How Elemental Made A Box Office Comeback Most movies are declared a box office success or failure based on how they perform during their opening weekend. While the opening weekend is important, Elemental proves it doesn't have to be the end of the story. Not every movie is going to be an instant box office sensation on the level of Barbie or Oppenheimer. Elemental is a reminder that box office success can take time and develop gradually.
Since then, The Flash has continued to suffer at the box office, and unlike Elemental, it still hasn't hit the breakeven point of its production budget. Good word of mouth about Elemental's stunning animation, positive messages, and originality have helped, while the many criticisms surrounding The Flash have continued to hurt it.
