“Better Than Break Even”: Elemental Will Make A Profit After Rare Box Office Comeback, Pixar Confirms

Despite low and potentially damning early box-office numbers, Elemental will make a profit that could do “better than break even” after its rare box-office comeback. Pixar’s latest feature explores a world inhabited by beings that are anthropomorphized representations of nature. The story follows a fire and water element in Element City as they go about their lives and eventually meet one another. Despite earning some early praise, Elemental initially struggled to attract audiences at the box office, which led to discussions about whether the expensive animated feature could be a box-office bomb until it started to attract more moviegoers later in its theatrical run.
