Part 4/10:
The upcoming Pixar film, "Elemental," exemplifies Disney's current struggles. Initially projected to earn around $40 million in its opening weekend—which would have been one of the worst starts in Pixar’s history—early indicators now suggest the film will fare even worse. Recent reports estimate "Elemental" may only achieve around $35 million, a disastrous figure compared to previous Pixar releases like "The Good Dinosaur" and "Onward," which opened with similar or better numbers despite the pandemic.
