'Elemental' Defies Expectations, Becomes Year's Top Foreign Film
Despite being initially labeled as a box-office flop, Pixar's animated film "Elemental" has defied expectations and is on track to earn five times its opening-weekend total, a feat no other Pixar movie has achieved since "Toy Story." The film, which tells a love story between characters made of fire and water, is expected to cross the $400 million international mark and is projected to earn around $430 million overall. While it won't reach the billion-dollar threshold of previous Pixar hits, "Elemental" has shown endurance and favorable audience scores, proving that box-office success can be unpredictable in the pandemic era.
