The budget for Elio was more than the box office haul and budget for The Bad Guys 2 combined. Not minus, combined. And yet visually it's one of the most mid looking movie Pixar has ever made. The visuals and premise did not click with audiences. It died at the box office with only $153 million while Bad Guys 2, which had a bungled world wide release and poor marketing, is on its way to $200 million on a budget less than a third of Elio's. If Elio had a budget of $70 mollion ot would have been a sleeper hit but it just did not have the broad appeal to be a tentpole.
