Part 4/10:
The debut of Elio is more than a disappointment; it signifies a potential collapse in Pixar's box office appeal. Historically, Pixar's worst opening before was around $29 million, a figure achieved by Toy Story in 1995—its first ever release. Now, Elio not only failed to reach that threshold but also dipped below it with a catastrophic $22 million. This indicates a dramatic decline in consumer interest.
