Adjusted for inflation 332M in 2015 dollars is 427M. But Elemental will probably limp to that mark
Of course Good Dinosaur's 175-200M budget also needs to be inflated, making it less profitable
But doing better than Good Dinosaur is a low bar for a Pixar movie
Ancillaries and streaming rights takes care of marketing budget. It technically broke even already, but obviously Disney would prefer if the box office run covers marketing and production.
Pro-tip: Being profitable by 1 mil is still a bomb in the eyes of executives. They see it as being a terrible allocation of time and money, that should've gone to something better.
They already made back their money with the Netflix deal. Some people think that all movies have to make their money from the box office but in the past that was never the case. Did superhero movies success make people forget this fact?
Not to mention that struggling to break even on production budget alone, months after release, means the film has lost money. Full stop. It is a loss for the studio.
>m-maybe we'll make some money with this film!
Isn't that why they made it to begin with? The way it's worded makes it look like it's something surprising somehow, like they just made the movie because they wanted to animate ridiculously expensive liquid simulations and they didn't expect people to pay for it.
>they just made the movie because they wanted to animate ridiculously expensive liquid simulations
Are you working at Pixar? get back to work wageslave and actually make something good this time
This doesn't make sense, studios get less and less money everyday after opening weekend. Not only that but most of the "profit" is coming from overseas markets which is also a margin. So the numbers looks good but it's still not making money.
Why can't Cinemaphile just accept that this cute little Pixar romcom for teenage Asian girls was a success? Why are you all so bitter? It made a comeback. That happened. You cannot deny reality.
how come there were so many "ELEMENATL SISTERS MUH BOX OFFICE NUMBERS! THE NUMBERS OOOOOOH IM COOOOOOOUNTING THE NUMBERS!" threads about this movie? not a single one about the actual plot or anything
does nobody really watch it? is it just some kinda pwn against... who exactly?
i genuinely wanna know, usually when homosexual on Cinemaphile make threads like this, its cause theyre fighting some invisible enemy in their head. so who's being "fought" here?
You'll notice that after the next major disney movie comes out ALL these fricking threads will dissapear, and you'll see this exact same shit with the new movie WISHTARDS LOSE. WISHBROS WHAT WHENT RIGHT. All with consistently out of character hyper aggressive posting in one direction or another.
Anons with a longer memory will remember Encanto getting the same treatment, with maybe the Gilf poster and incest posters showing up for organic shit, and Raya had maybe one dude who REALLY wanted to frick the dragon, and the rest was this same kind of garbage posting.
This isn't exclusive to Disney of course. You can see these same attempts with the Mario movie, the barbie movie, spiderverse and TMNT right now.
Turning red had enough organic shitposting, and people wanting the frick the mom, the girls, the panda, crapping on canada that any box office obsessed moron isn't going to show up as much.
Mostly culture war bullshit, because Cinemaphile is cancer, but the way this movie had an all-time catastrophic opening weekend and then managed to claw it's way towards actually being profitable is really unusual.
Though, maybe not unusual for 2023, The Little Mermaid did it too, and I wonder if putting Ruby Gillman on streaming wasn't a bad move.
The culture war bullshit is mostly fake. Try making the same posts on LULZ or pol, which are gender and culture war central, and I bet the threads fade out quickly.
Now it's possible that there's enough people on Cinemaphile who are even crazier about culture war bullshit to sustain those threads, but I bet it's astroturf trying to hate market shit.
Thing is compare that turning red thread to all the garbage thrown around in Cinemaphile. Also consider pol, passing up a chance to shit on israeli people in hollywood?
>it's astroturf trying to hate market shit.
Cinemaphile's userbase is 1,488 boomer nazis, no one's advertising Disney movies on a site that hasn't been culturally relevant since 2006

Japan just likes anything animated with cute characters or has Disney slapped onto it. There are people (mostly women) who buy merch of characters but barely or straight up don't even watch the stuff they are from.
>The Good Dinosaur : 123 mil domestically, 209 mil internationally, 332 mil worldwide
>Elemental : 148 mil domestically, 276 mil internationally, 425 mil worldwide
More profitable than Peter Sohn's previous film
Adjusted for inflation 332M in 2015 dollars is 427M. But Elemental will probably limp to that mark
Of course Good Dinosaur's 175-200M budget also needs to be inflated, making it less profitable

>Adjusted for inflation 332M in 2015 dollars is 427M
Ridin' with Biden!
I’m actually surprised Good Dinosaur grossed that much. Probably the one Pixar film everyone forgets existed.
Give him a third one so he makes a big hit at last
>profitable.
>Production budget of 200m without adding marketing.
It hasn't even broken even yet.
Ancillaries and streaming rights takes care of marketing budget. It technically broke even already, but obviously Disney would prefer if the box office run covers marketing and production.

Your Ruby Gillman will never be a sucess and only atracts autists
Ruby Gillman fans on Cinemaphile think the movie being DreamWorks' biggest bomb is hilarious
Everyone probably thought it was an Aardman film so nobody went to see it.
They already made back their money with the Netflix deal. Some people think that all movies have to make their money from the box office but in the past that was never the case. Did superhero movies success make people forget this fact?
Can they still write it off if it made a couple million in profit?
Execs hate movies breaking even because they CAN'T write it off as a bomb
Not to mention that struggling to break even on production budget alone, months after release, means the film has lost money. Full stop. It is a loss for the studio.
Cope. It's still a profit. Add merchandise and this movie is fine. Chuds lost.
Just think what Soul Luca and Turning Red would have done if given a chance.
Ugly movies
Soul and Luca came out during the pandemic they werent gonna get shit.
well yeah Soul was totally fricked. Luca was half-fricked.
>m-maybe we'll make some money with this film!

I can accept it that's why I made a thread shilling it
Ya know what else is reality?
Mario making way more than Elemental.
how come there were so many "ELEMENATL SISTERS MUH BOX OFFICE NUMBERS! THE NUMBERS OOOOOOH IM COOOOOOOUNTING THE NUMBERS!" threads about this movie? not a single one about the actual plot or anything
does nobody really watch it? is it just some kinda pwn against... who exactly?
i genuinely wanna know, usually when homosexual on Cinemaphile make threads like this, its cause theyre fighting some invisible enemy in their head. so who's being "fought" here?
It's the opposite of Ruby Gillman threads
Well it did get a lot of hate before it was released. I just find it amusing to get (yous) from this bullshit also I liked the movie.
>is it just some kinda pwn against... who exactly?
Pixar for going so shit in recent years.
If you don't care, why did you enter the thread?
>i genuinely wanna know
Where the hell did you get "You don't care" in any of that anon's post?
You'll notice that after the next major disney movie comes out ALL these fricking threads will dissapear, and you'll see this exact same shit with the new movie WISHTARDS LOSE. WISHBROS WHAT WHENT RIGHT. All with consistently out of character hyper aggressive posting in one direction or another.

the only thing that remains is Turning Red trolling
Turning red had enough organic shitposting, and people wanting the frick the mom, the girls, the panda, crapping on canada that any box office obsessed moron isn't going to show up as much.
I was one of them I would know. Though some people would try to troll with the $20 million Turning Red made at the box office.

well those aren't cartoon boards. But I do remember one cringe person made a Turning Red thread on pol

>it's astroturf trying to hate market shit.

it was culturally relevant once?
There are job listings for this shit anon, mostly advertised to people too shitty to offer anything on fiver.
The Bronies are still financially relevant.

I remember those thread when Lightyear happened.
Just accept Pixar isn't the most successful cartoon company
Sure I accept Illumination makes more money
I think posting about box office numbers is the most effective trolling method with this movie.
Why is it so big in Korea?
Director is Korean American and the movie's inspired by his experiences
Because Korea is basically Japan that actually decided to let itself be Zogged
Hey Japan is pretty zogged too. They're buying tickets for Elemental as well.
Japan just likes anything animated with cute characters or has Disney slapped onto it. There are people (mostly women) who buy merch of characters but barely or straight up don't even watch the stuff they are from.
OK but what about the ticket sales.
They love romance style films and drama.
Good i guess?, i hope this opens the door for more straight romance focused films.
we lacked those before?
That's nice.
Shinkai already knows he’s getting cucked at the Oscars.
