The brave and professional army and the army were not a match at the box office against a loyal fiery dragon.
The “How to Dragon” edition remained the first rank in North America, despite the presence of two new arrivals, Disney and Pixar’s Intercessic Adventure “ElioAnd Sony’s Zombie Thriller “After 28 years“
“Elio” ranked third with $ 21 million from 3750 theaters, as it ranked the worst in the modern history of Pixar. With the weekend heading, the other story of a young boy connected to foreigners after he made a mistake in the Earth’s ambassador between galaxies It aims at $ 25 million to 30 million dollars. The film, which cost $ 150 million to produce, added only 14 million dollars abroad for a catastrophic total of $ 35 million.
David A. Gross, who runs the Film Consulting Company: “This is a weak opening for pixar.” “These will be strong numbers for another original animation, but this is Pixar, and under the great Pixar standard, the opening is much lower than average.”
The former Pixar brand was low in 2023 “Elemental”, which opened to $ 29.6 million locally and $ 44.5 million worldwide. However, this film was adopted by the fans and managed to carry it at the box office, as it eventually ended its large screen with $ 155 million locally and 496 million dollars worldwide. It was a respectable balance given the terrible weekend result, but anywhere near the previous highlands of Pixar, the empire behind “Toy Story”, “The Incredibles” and “Finding Nemo”. The studio hopes that “Elio” follows a similar path because the moving story has obtained a “A” cinema exit surveys.
But the bleak start of “Elio” confirms the challenges facing Pixar, which traveled in standard destruction last year “Inside Out 2” ($ 1.69 billion), but it has not successfully launched a new theatrical real estate in the ages. The original animation was struggled at the box office at post-commandments, and Pixar in particular failed to upgrade the level of the strategy-especially after many of its titles (such as “Red Transformation” and “Luka”) were sent directly to Disney+, which inadvertently trained the fans of the family to expect these films at home. Though The child’s friendly fare has flourished In a big way, the brand recognition was a large part of the victory of the PG winners, such as “Lilo & Stitch”, “Minecraft Movie” and “How To Train Your Dragon”.
The other new version was opened at the end of this week, “after 28 years” in second place with $ 30 million from 3444 locations, directly in line with expectations. The film added an additional amount of $ 30 million abroad, and it pays its first balance around the world to $ 60 million. These ticket sales are larger for the first time in the Undead series, which started with “28 days later” for the year 2002 (for the first time 10 million dollars) and lasted with “28 weeks” of 2007 ($ 9.8 million).
“After 28 years” costs $ 60 million and will not require a lot of coin to become higher privileges, which are currently “after 28 days” at $ 75 million worldwide. But Sony has more commercial ambitions for the drug, which revolves around the infectious anger virus that continues to be chaos in the world. “28 years old” aims to start a new trilogy in a coma, led by creators “after 28 days” Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland. The new movie was filmed with a supplement “The Bone Temple”, which will appear for the first time in 2026. A third movie is under development, but its future can be dictated with the theatrical results of “28 years”.
Without “ELIO” or “28 years old”, it constituted a lot of threat, “How to train your dragon” managed to keep the box office crown of $ 37 million in its framework in the second year, a decrease of 56 % of its appearance of $ 83 million. So far, a new edition of direct work has achieved $ 160.4 million in North America and $ 358 million worldwide.
The romantic comedy drama in the “physical” A24, and is strong at the weekend of $ 5.8 million, represented a 48 % decrease of its impressive start of $ 12 million. Celine Song, which launched a million pieces of thought on modern dating and realistic salaries of the New York residents, has received $ 24 million so far.
Above the “Mandar” in the box office plans and reach the first five places, “Lilo & Stitch” raised $ 9.5 million while Paramount “Mission: Isshine – The Final Reckoning” added $ 6.55 million on the fifth weekend of its release.
“Lilo & Stitch” received 386 million locally and more than 870 million dollars worldwide for a budget of $ 100 million. The “final calculation”, the eighth batch of the Tom Cruise movement privilege for a long time, achieved $ 178 million in North America and $ 540 million worldwide. However, “MI8” costs $ 400 million to produce it, and since the owners of the movie Theater keep half of the ticket sales, the Action Adventure will not have the power to get rid of the red color in its theatrical course.
More in the future …
