It's pretty all over the place from what I've ever heard living here.
But either way, it makes sense a kids movie would just be fairly steady in the summer and could rule the weekdays.
Pixar's Elemental now #1 at US Box Office thanks to positive WOM

Again I don't know why people are trying to make this a thing it's great in terms of the trash fire that was Flash but that's really not hard to do.
Frankly I enjoyed my time with Asteroid City much more even though that was a frou frou quirky Hollywood movie yet again. With ALL THE STARS

Have no plans with me and my gf off and we plan on heading downtown, was legit thinking of just seeing Elementals with her later today. The past 2 weeks we've seen Flash, Spider-Verse and the Blackening so just missing out on this.
I mean, you sell your movie based on the wins you have. That being said the film is showing good legs, even though it opened so low it's still gonna end in a less than great place. But hey domestic, it might outgross Lightyear, despite opening over $20M less.
Nah not really. It's honestly more of an immigrant story with a core romance between two characters who are very different and how they come together.
I think it's a very good date movie. Loved seeing it with my boyfriend.
This sort of trajectory is very unusual for a movie, and really does show positive WOM.
Elemental is still going to be a huge disappointment box-office wise, but it might now avoid "megabomb" status.
Aww thanks for tagging me this is great news!!! I've seen it in theatres twice now!
And the burden of family and self purpose involved with that.
I would've gone to watch it but only dubbed screenings have been available since it premiered here, so that's a no go. It's honestly weird how post-covid I see lot more dubbed screenings... before covid you'd get a considerable numbers of original language screenings here at different theaters, now it's probably sub screenings at a few and mostly during first and second week, after that you're SOL.
He's a character that appears for like 3 minutes total in the movie yet the marketing acted like he's a major funny part of the movie including that weirdly bizarre fake cam rip posted by Pixar on Twitter where they pretended people went crazy for him.
Oh. I must've missed most of that. I was confused because I saw the film and the trailers and didn't realize it seemed like they were marketing around him. He is indeed a non-character. They really botched getting the word out about this film starting with closing Cannes with it.
lol
In our seat watching the credits, thought the movie was awesome. You were right, perfect date movie.
There was a moment during the move where I told her she's definitely Wade and I'm Ember(minus the issues) and she laughed cuz she was thinking the exact same thing.
Unless it's Speed Racer (That was mainly The Old Place though).
I'll catch this on D+, it looks fun.
I'll probably catch this when it makes its way to Disney+ but it's good to hear that the film isn't as bad as the initial buzz was.
I saw the movie over the weekend and I thought it was nicely done. The main characters were pretty likeable I felt, didn't really ever feel bored by the movie either.
Good first step for dinner returning to the box office. they just have to keep TLM and this off of streaming for a loooooong time. They messed up bad by pushing streaming (well every studio did tbh)
I'm willing to give it a watch, but I'm not spending money going to the movies to see Elementals.
Happy to hear it, always love seeing the success of animated features.
Side note, this is one crispy ass jpeg.
Is this the product of Twitter's compression algo or CinemaScore's marketing team? Abhorrent either way.
…The position of Wade's bag strap in correlation to the climaxing earth guy on the left isn't doing this compressed picture any favors.
Adorable movie otherwise.
Wondering if we can take my 4 year old to see this...? We tend to find that PG movies are a bit too much for her (scary bits, characters being very mean and threatening) but after seeing Mario with her (which was perfect tonally etc for her demo) she's really wanted to see another movie in theaters and we promised her "one more in the summer". So few good candidates for small kids, though

This site is pretty good from what I've seen. Recommends 6+ and I should probably just trust it.
Elemental Movie Review
Heartfelt, romantic fable about immigrant experience. Read Common Sense Media's Elemental review, age rating, and parents guide.

I saw that immediately
It's the new "Straight to DVD".
That said I loved the movie and strongly disagree.
Maybe it's going to have legs for a bit since kids are out of school and this is really the only kid-friendly animated film out other than Spider-Verse. In fact, there's not really a kids film coming out until that Ruby Kraken movie and the new TMNT film in August. It could have a decent run.

It held on to the top spot for a second day in a row

We just got back from seeing this. It was fantastic. Not my favorite Pixar film but it's very solid; up there with Inside/Out or Toy Story 2.
This is some of the most blithering insane marketing I have ever seen

In a way it's genius, I've seen people covering this ridiculous Clod promotion that would probably otherwise never have even brought up the movie lol.
I absolutely adored this movie. It's not perfect but it has so much going for it. I've heard from people who immigrated to America that it captures the experience really well.
I liked it more than Across the Spider-verse. *shudders in fear*
