Why did it flop?

the kids at school found him unlikeable and so did everyone else

Ugly animation + brown pandering + delulu

why did what flop?

If I was to hazard a guess I’d say that the reason it flopped is because it’s made by woke brown people who self insert when they make media. They are also out of touch so they think that the rest of the brown audience is just like them (it’s not, the brown masses want to see cool and attractive mainly white characters in their movies).

> Elio was due to be directed by Adrian Molina, using ideas drawn from his own childhood on a military base, but then last June Domee Shi (director of Turning Red) was announced at the new director; last August, Madeline Sharafian was announced as her co-director; and three different screenwriters are credited.

I'm a very white-skinned Mexican, but even so: we've never given a shit about a character's race in media, as long as he's cool.

The title fucking sucks. The Pixar movies that performed the best at the box office had titles that gave a brief high-level snapshot of what the film was about: Inside Out is about the emotions inside us personified, Toy Story is a story about toys coming to life, Ratatouille is about French cuisine and rats (and works as a pun too), Monsters Inc is about an energy corporation run by monsters etc. Elio is about... Elio. It's such a boring title and it reveals nothing about the character or the world he lives in. Imagine if Toy Story was just 'Andy', or Monsters Inc. was called 'Sully'.

DUH DUH

>original movie.
>set in space.
>movies made by pixar after Coco.
Yeah, those have consistently failed. Why do they keep doing it? They are setting themselves up to just be a sequel factory with all these failures piling up.

>Molina was inspired by his childhood growing up at a military base and eventual enrollment at the California Institute of the Arts when developing the film's story.

Ugly nigger protagonist with vague faggotry subtext and displeasing animation aesthetic.

It looks like a Dreamworks plotline with an Alex Hirsch artstyle, no wonder people aren't interested.

>>211984060
Yeah good analysis. They got lucky with Coco because beaners flocked to it, but Elio just sounds lame

>>211983899
I wonder what happened that they shafted the original director for two women instead? He must have fucked up big-time, or not been open to internal criticism, etc. The movie was meant to come out a year ago.

Elemental flopped. Pixar admitted as much when they said it would only be profitable from merchandising, streaming and DVDs. The theatrical release only made slightly over 2* its budget

Never said it.

>Will “Elemental” be profitable?
>We have a lot of different revenue streams, but at the box office we’re looking at now, it should do better than break even theatrically. And then we have revenue from streaming, theme parks and consumer products. This will certainly be a profitable film for the Disney company.
Sorry, but Elemental rebound did indeed happen, there is no need to cope with "budget x2 actually"

>>211985889
why did they make him sit like a faggot?

>>211985059
he's gay, the movie is autobiographical and the original art has a lot of gay allusion for this child character (same name as the call me by your name underage-adult gay romance character), and prior to a few years ago Disney was pushing 'full speed down the slippery slope' but then they started getting called out and legal/political problems and decided to abandon that track. so probably someone said 'give that outright cum-eating-gayboy movie to some women, have them make it subtle or just get rid of it'

>>211986008
Idk but I distinctly remember this meme and it did some damage clearly lmao. Literally gay beanmouth the movie.

Again?! Turning Red was autobiographical, Elemental is just Sohn sobbing about his immigrant parents. Anyone have any ideas left except "literally my childhood/adolescence but at a 200 mil animation budget"

It's paint-by-numbers slop with a thin veneer of DEI shit spread over it to pander and pay lip service to The Movement. These kinds of movies only succeed during periods in society where people are comfortable and sedate; willing to pay a reasonable amount of money to zone out for 90 minutes. Instead, everything sucks and you paid for the movie by working for the same amount of time as its runtime. No one wants that.

>>211984060
I haven't seen anybody mention this because the dogshit corporate artstyle overshadows it but this was seriously a huge misstep on their part. What the fuck is Elio? I don't know, I don't care and I'm not going to go watch to learn because a title isn't enough to draw me in. Now I'm not the target audience and wouldn't see it anyway but I know kids are looking for the very same things because I too was a kid once.

Its a bad movie

>>211986252
>Again?!
Anon you don't realize how far back they went all-in on this thinking it was going to be the Kamala century. The NEXT movie coming NEXT year, is the same shit. I paste here a description not of the actual upcoming Pixar movie - it's called Knockers or some shit - but its director's movie he made before it, which Pixar hired him from
>The film, an allegory for what it feels like to be a minority in America, explores themes of acceptance, family separation, and racial discrimination, which were darker than the lighthearted but similar themes upon which Chong, a member of the Asian American minority, had explored within the television series.
Lmao so three $200m films that made no money go 'Shee, Song, Chong in turn sob about immigrant parents/their lunch made fun of'. Even though this theme was played out in fucking late 80s and the entire of 90s tv already

The title is too clever for the audience, and 4chan. It's a pun on LEO.

I think Disney wants Pixar to just come in-house for good like they did in their heyday where they reportedly always wanted more control but honestly I don't know why after the last flop and the last flop before it why they haven't shitcanned them if such is the case. Studios have been shut down for less

>>211987835
If it's 'too clever' then it's a dogshit title. It's a kids movie.

Just read the letters out loud. It's really not that deep

I'm stealing this because it's a perfect explanation

>Remember that part in Moneyball where Billy and Pete are sitting with all the old scouts and every time one of them says something dumb or outdated Billy points at Pete? That’s what these constant ‘why are movies flopping?’ stories are for me. The studios have told people that they can watch movies in usually <45 days from the theatrical release date on a subscription streaming service they already pay for.

>>211988598
That doesn't really explain why some movies flop and some movies succeed

>>211988215
Fuck off faggot

>>211988598
Inside Out 2 has storytelling quality of a straight-to-DVD Disney sequel from 00s but that one made gazillions despite going to streaming a month+ later too.

>>211983611 (OP)
its the ice raids that tanked this lantinx slop's potential at the box office

>>211988658
Almost every movie now is flopping though. It used to be a little less than half of movies, say 40-45% would turn a profit in the theatres. And even some that didn't back in the day you could leverage rentals (before that went belly up), DVD sales, etc.

Since the pandemic, less than 10% or films are now turning a profit in theatres. That's not sustainable or recoverable.

>>211988658
>>211988759
That's the thing, you're going to have an occasional hit that just has everything going for it where it bucks the trend. But look at the industry a whole and it's getting killed.

with a deduction like that it's a wonder why you're not the CEO of Disney

People used to go to the movies at least once a month, maybe even every 1-2 weeks. Those same people now go once or twice a year.

>>211983732
if a white director puts a white character in a movie is that self inserting too

>>211988598
its wrong tho. movies flop more now for two reasons: the bar to see a movie is much higher bc i can watch any kino at home for free, and now that most movies are not shot on film, they are tired and uninspired as each shot does not cost money. Why think about lighting, set design, effects, etc., when you can just hire jeet effects artists to edit everything in post?

>>211988598
It is NOT a good explanation because it's not even a good argument.
That has NOTHING to do with movies failing.
In fact, videogames do that all the time releasing pre-launches, and ahead entry to the game and the like, and people gobble those up, to have first dibs on the game.
As a matter of undeniable fact that supports my argument and demolish yours, it's movies making the bulk of their revenue on the first week, if not the first day.
Having first dibs in a media with some perks is a huge bonus, I don't know why you act like it's a malus.
While streaming can be a small factor for people that don't care about waiting (just like in games), the problem is elsewhere.

>>211989048
I personally take a sick glee in the waste that comes from endless expensive reshoots that will just end up being 90% jeetfx anyway.

Bro everything else you are saying, this right here is it, it's the reason. Quality has never been a great indicator of a movie being successful. See for example Fast&Furious slop, etc.

>>211989197
My point was that most people dont even watch new releases once they hit home video. they just watch reruns or old releases instead. knowing you can watch something in 45 days doesn't have that big of an effect.

>>211988215
>The reason it failed is because the premise is fucking overdone and boring
No one even knows the premise, no one knows what the fuck this movie is about, if it wasn't for shitpost threads on /tv/ I would have no idea it involved space at all, they should have called it "Faggot Kid in Space" and it would have made 1bil easy

This is the case now but it didn't use to be this way, and never to this extent. Go look at Avatar or Titanic's box office. The fact is 2019 was the peak year for Cinema financially. You had the pandemic in 2020, and then what happened? Everyone started dropping shit on streaming almost immediately or shortly into a theatre run once they were reopened. Cinema never recovered, and ever will because this continues.

>>211989495
I don't get it. What does that have to do with anything? The title is still weak. It's just the character's name and he isn't cool enough to get that one-name-only basis like a guy like Zorro does.

That anon kept saying every movie makes all its money during opening week and I keep BTFO him with various examples. I'm telling him this is only a recent phenomena.

>>211984081
The problem is that Elio has ZERO appeal and ZERO identity. Coco has that unique Dia de muertos aesthetic and even a whole afterlife worldbuilding.

>>211994333
Lilo Dragon were existing proven IP and the exception. Nearly all the live action Disney hits were successes. They are part of the 10% of films that are turning a profit in theatres. Most new IP (Elio, etc.) is DOA.

Remember 40-45% of films turned profit in theatres pre-pandemic before streaming max.

>character is unpopular/weird and wishes to be abducted/sent to another world, he does and he meets cooky characters, learns about himself and comes back bettr and more confident

I dont watch isekai slop but isnt all of them like this? Besides isekai I can think of Gash bell, lilo and stitch, the owl house, amphibia, ruby gillman teenage kraken, spirited away, infinity train, over the garden wall...all having a fairly similar premise

>>211989011
But if a white director did what Elio did and had EVERY character be white except the violent bully villain and the comic relief manchild loser, EVERY entertainment rag would condemn it as a racist whitesoopreemisist fantasy unfit for children.

Pixar does the reverse with Elio and no one blinks an eye and/or acknowledges it as a good thing.

People have very low trust in Disney movies right now. Disney needs to rebuild that trust for people to see original works like this with no background. Great movies are a great way to rebuild trust. Remakes are a cheap and easy way to build trust, potentially the fastest. They wasted all their remakes on NAACP propaganda and now they have to work twice as hard to undo the damage of the remakes and then to build up their trust again.

I’m not holding my breath. Disney might be done. The Bond movies certainly are.

You guys notice how its really close to sounding like “alien”? Damn, now THAT is clever.

Also theres no character growth. They refuse to give these characters any bad aspects because thats racist so instead the perfect grubhub bean changes the evil world

1.) It doesn't appeal to older audiences by being woke calarts beanmouth

2.) Zoomies don't watch scripted stuff or cartoons anymore. It's just weird vaguely satanic shit on tiktok/youtube about like "you can't believe how this blind cat found its way back home" with a weird AI slop thumbnail.

The art is bad and everything about this is uninteresting. I can't even tell the difference between this and the previous movie Elio or Luca. Also he's too brown.

At least a white director would make sure to make the main characters appealing.

>>211996942
if it were about him learning to stop being a sissy and become brave I'd appreciate it, what isn't apparent is that the character has anything to learn or change him in some way, he is a passive recipient to events in the story.

I mean I don't think it's even secret, it's kind of just an obvious combination of straightforward statements etc., that the gay director who said he was making this about his childhood alienation, makes a movie where a fey kid with no one like him around gets pulled into this community of fruity characters and finds 'his people'. it was thinly veiled version of the basic gay child story.

Its funny how gay people make media that shows themselves how they think of themselves and they point straight people to it like 'look!' and it just makes straight people go 'eeeugh'. I had two different gay guys implore me to watch that Perks of a Wallflower movie because I guess they thought I would think the ezra miller character was cool and be like 'oh, i get it now, you guys are cool'. But I was disturbed by him instead

Pixar needs to fucking die with this shit

Just make a straightforward story about being a guy with some normal human issues that eventually get exposed and solved.
Every single one of their actually good movies were about the human condition in some way.
These introverted immigrant upbringing movies need to die already

There's essentially zero market for them outside of the 70iq mongrels that self insert "it's literally meeeeeee" when they watch them.

Pixar's two best movies of recent years (Inside Out 2 and Turning Red) were about girls rather than boys, it's very telling

what would be the point of animating that? The thing you somehow missed is that these normal guys also happened to be stuffed toys, cars, fish, etc. The last 8 movies or something it's just people, which imo should NEVER be pixar style 3d animated. I remember watching toy story and enjoying it except any time humans were on screen where i was like "aggh that looks so shitttt"

>>211986323

>>212001999
Point is toy story and finding nemo and incredibles ultimately all are about universal truths and experiences humans have - they are not hyper specific in the way these foreigner growing up in another country immigrant movies are.

The real problem of /co/ media in general is the lack of passion. They don't really know what they want to make themselves.

>>212000263
Phobia means fear. The greek suffix for disgust is -misia. He's describing homomisia not homophobia.

>>212001855
If the context of the movie took place in majority brown setting, far fewer people even on 4chin would have an issue with it. Elio takes place on an american military base in america and +95% of all the human characters (even in the background) are brown. The creators purposely brownwashed everyone in a setting where the majority of humans would be white.

It makes no sense in context other than the creators explicitly saying "yes and that's a good thing" while promoting the movie.

>Then why did the world use to watch Hollywood movies with all-white casts back when Hollywood was good?
Because national and international releases went to an affluent all-white audience, and there were no alternatives to Hollywood.
>Why does the world watch anime and Korean dramas now?
... it doesn't.
If I look up Korean dramas there are no names I recognise. There was only one that "everyone" watched for the first two episodes and I don't remember its name. The fictional gameshow where people died for money.

If you're into anime you're an outcast from your society and identify with the Japanese race (2D) more than your own despite having never met a Japanese person nor lived in their culture. It's genuinely disturbing to contemplate and makes it worrying when related to other desires people have that seem only related to media consumption and presenteeism (e.g. pride).
>Why does Hollywood make chump change from the HUGE African market despite putting more and more blacks in their films?
African-Americans and Africans aren't the same people culturally, even racially.
Africa is financially poor.
Black people in America still don't have the majority of America's disposable income and prefer other outlets.
Depicted blacks aren't culturally the same as the black audience, aka "coconut". A similar conundrum is making a movie about gay whites and wondering why it's not universally popular among whites, see image related, white women know what they want, and it definitely wasn't some gay Rwandan, and there weren't enough gay Rwandans watching to prop up viewership.

>>212001593
They can't reasonably remake this because it came out in a really weird moment in the late 90s early 00s where all the big animation companies were targeting men/boys after going all out on princesses and furries earlier in the decade.

He has a prolific filmography but when I look up the ones I remember seeing, their box office take implies it was a failure or a modest so-so and it all seems dwarfed by him appearing in Chinese films by and for the Hong Kong market (and a bunch of them were flops) and now for the greater Chinese market as a legacy actor who has connections, not talent, nor good directors.
>Eddie Murphy
I unno. I recognise some titles but half of it seems to be middling box office releases. A zesty comedy black man being popular in the past is weird. That or he became as washed up as Jackie around the '90s.
>ethnicity doesn't matter
It really does. A cultural and racial fit are the priority. If it's unrelatable, you lose sales.

People claim because it got zero advertising, but they're wrong. The truth is it got zero USEFUL advertising. I'd seen adverts for it on billboards, bus stops, sides of buses, even a few TV commercials, basically all the old methods of advertising that nobody but boomers and other marketers notice. But they had no social media presence, no memes, no virality, no methods of getting in front of kids and tired parents to make them aware that it existed.

And the reason is that Disney made the usual mistake of handing their marketing budget to their friends, rather than to those of us who have the greater hold over the modern marketing spaces. It's that nepotism issue rearing its ugly head again, so they would rather waste millions on failed marketing techniques if it meant their buddy got a paypack. It's why so many "exec producers" have shares in production companies, because they want the money going back to them rather than someone else.

They spent ~$300 million on their own production and advertising costs, paying a fraction of it in taxes, and then made $40 million on top. They walk away from a flop with their costs already covered.

The brand is tarnished

Pixar was following the tradition of early Disney, creating stories that resonate with traditional American families. They focused on "human" stories that anyone in any culture can relate to, as long as they value family, kindness, loyalty, etc. The basics of what all of Humanity can agree on is good.

But we're 20 years into progressive moral relativism and we can't really define good or evil anymore. A young mom abandoning her child to the State to focus on her career can be argued as "good" by a chunk of modern audiences. Prince Charming could never rescue a princess as it would undermine her power. Creative fields are entirely dominated by women, gay men, with straight men who are terrified of the women and gay men who run the field. So there is no masculinity entering the product. The Male and Female mind are different, and when both perspectives come together to tell stories they can resonate with everyone... but modern animation has become dominated by Female stories and the Male part of the package has been erased... that's why all these new family movies feel off in some indescribable way, because there is 0 male perspective. Not to mention these movies are all ideologically captured by extreme Hollywood progressivism.

Elio should be interesting. I love seeing what some of the top artists in the world can do given a blank canvass to invent their own alien creatures and worlds, that should be beautiful to behold! But instead, I see minority military aunts and brown kids and all I think about are modern politics and the US's current demographic war for domination. It makes me completely uninterested in seeing more, because I just know already that this is going to be another feminized tale that tries to check the boxes on a heartwarming family movie but has zero masculine identity and will end up soulless.
