Disney/Pixar's Elio

I don't know - I mean, those "fun" movies are pretty much about feelings too! Most of them can make this grown man cry.

We saw it today. We liked it much more than we thought we would. We went to the 8pm showing and there were about 12 other people in the theatre I was happy to see that in the small theatre with big seats.

It did a little better this weekend. I am thinking it's more of a word-of-mouth movie because the previews, as another poster said, didn't do it justice. Glad to her people are enjoying it!

Probably won’t get the Elemental legs, but may not be a massive bomb by the time it’s done. Though Elemental got a more staggered global release. It’s possible (maybe even likely) that Elio finishes below $150M globally

Stitch, Zootopia 2, and Avatar 3 still likely to cover the majority of losses at the box office before any PVOD revenue. With Fantastic 4 being a ?? on how it performs.

Just saw this article so thought I would share it. Assuming the article is accurate, I suspect views will depend a great deal on one's political and religious beliefs, and I certainly have my own, but will stay out of that .

There is almost no promotion for the movie here in Europe. Hardly anyone knows about it. And that includes the regular Disney/Pixar/nerdy crowds.

Makes me think why. It is set in space, right, and the rest in the US? I know with the current political climate the US is not very popular over here, but I can't imagine it is so bad that Disney would stop promoting a movie set in the US. It seems unlikely, but I can't think of any reason why Disney would not promote this movie.

In my own town, there are only 2 viewings per day, both a dubbed Dutch version. The original version in English was only shown the first few days.

I got an email from my movie theater and they give a short list of family movies to watch this summer. Several Dutch movies, How to Tame your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch. No mention of Elio.

I am a bit curious, but not enough for the high prices movie theaters charge nowadays. Downside, I do not have Disney+ anymore, so if I want to see it... I do have to go to the theatre.

We saw Elio and enjoyed it. Loved it? No. Liked it. It was entertaining and kept one's interest.

The movie lacked something that most successful Disney animated films have: a really good soundtrack and/or at least one memorable, catchy song. This movie had neither. Nor did it have much of a sense of humor, another hallmark of many Disney animated films.
