Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures are gearing up to present yet another impressive animated feature to the audience. Elio will be hitting the screens this Friday, and it is projected to have a modest start, just like 2023’s Elemental, but there’s hope. Keep scrolling for more.
Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi, and Adrian Molina directed it. It features the voices of Yonas Kibreab, Zoe Saldaña, Remy Edgerly, Brad Garrett, Jameela Jamil, and Shirley Henderson. The movie is an original story and will continue the summer blockbuster streak. Two live-action remakes—How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch—are running at the theaters.
How much is Elio projected to earn on its opening weekend?
According to Deadline‘s report, Elio is tracking to earn $20 million+ on its opening weekend in North America. Globally, it is predicted to open at $50 million gross. The film clashes with the horror flick 28 Years Later, but they have a separate target audience; hence, it will not hinder either. The report also explained it might follow Elemental’s footsteps. Advance ticket sales for Elio in North America are around $1 million, slightly ahead of where Pixar’s 2023 original film Elemental was at the same point. Elemental opened with $29.6 million. While a $20 million opening might not sound impressive, it reflects the new trend for original animated films.
