"Elio" lands Pixar's worst box office debut
Disney's Pixar saw its worst-ever box office debut over the weekend with its sci-fi adventure film "Elio" earning just $21 million domestically after reportedly spending at least $250 million on production and marketing. Why it matters: The animated movie is a costly outlier to other family-friendly films that have packed cinemas and helped theaters toward a post-pandemic rebound. By the numbers: "Elio" came in third place domestically over the weekend, behind Universal's "How To Train Your Dragon" at $37 million and Sony's "28 Years Later" at $30 million, per Comscore. "Elio" brought in just $14 million overseas for $35 million in total, per Comscore. The big picture: With the exception of "Inside Out 2" last summer, Pixar has struggled to regain the box office momentum of its dominance in the 2000s and 2010s. "Luca" and "Turning Red" released straight to Disney+ in 2021 and 2022, respectively. "Lightyear" underwhelmed at the box office in the summer of 2022. Pixar's previous opening weekend low was "Elemental" in the summer of 2023 at $29.5 million, though it ended up becoming a sleeper hit and brought in nearly $500 million globally. "Elio" is Pixar's only theatrical release slated for 2025. Yes, but: "Elio" has garnered positive early reviews with an 84% critics score and 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Flashback: Activist investor Nelson Peltz took aim at Disney's studio struggles during his failed proxy fight, telling the FT that the company had "lost first place in animation." Though he lost that battle for board seats, his critique of Disney's creative outputs still resonates.

Joy Behar on why she never thought she'd work with Barbara Walters
"The View" co-host Joy Behar worked alongside legendary broadcast journalist Barbara Walters for over two decades, a working relationship she said she never imagined would happen. Behar recalled Monday on " Good Morning America" that she was first seen by Walters when she performed stand-up at a birthday party for actor Milton Berle in the late 1990s. "After the thing, I said to my husband, 'How was it?' And he said, 'Well, everyone was laughing except Barbara,'" Behar recalled. "And I said, 'Oh, well, I'm not going to work with her ... I'll never work with Barbara Walters, so what if she wasn't laughing?'" Not long after the party, Behar said she got a call to become a co-host on "The View," a role Behar has held for nearly 30 years. Walters' creation of "The View" is just one of her many career milestones, all examined in the new documentary "Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything," streaming now on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. The documentary features the voices of those who worked closest to Walters in her groundbreaking 50-year career, including Behar and her executive producer at "20/20," David Sloan. Sloan said Monday on "GMA" that he thinks what made Walters stand out among journalists was her willingness to go there with her interview subjects. "I think it was on her ability to ask cringey questions other people might avoid, like asking [former New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie if he was too overweight to be president, or asking [Barbra] Streisand, 'Why didn't you get a nose job?'" Sloan said. "And you kind of were cringing, but people wanted to know that kind of thing. She knew that it would be grabby, and she went there." He added of Walters' lasting impact, "She kind of taught me how to ask questions, and all of America to ask questions and be fearless about it ... with dignity." Sloan noted that many of the hard-hitting questions Walters posed to celebrities and newsmakers were a window into her own insecurities. He cited as an example the time Walters asked music superstar Taylor Swift how she would find a man as someone who is rich and famous. "That was one of her worries, 'How am I going to find someone?'" Sloan said of Walters, who married three different men in her lifetime. Walters died at age 93 in 2022. She joined ABC News in 1976, becoming the first female anchor on an evening news program. Three years later, she became a co-host of "20/20," and in 1997, she launched "The View." Her career spanned five decades, during which she earned 11 Emmy Award nominations, winning three. She made her final appearance as a co-host of "The View" in 2014, but remained an executive producer of the show and continued to do some interviews and specials for ABC News.

Pixar had its worst opening weekend ever with ‘Elio.' What happened?
Aliens may have embraced Elio, but earthbound audiences did not, marking the lowest opening weekend ever for a Pixar film and highlighting the challenges for original animated movies. 'Elio' hauled in $21 million at the box office in the U.S. and Canada through Sunday, according to studio estimates, falling short of Walt Disney Co.-owned Pixar's previous lowest domestic opening, 2023's 'Elemental,' which made $29.6 million in its debut. (1995's 'Toy Story' had a domestic opening weekend total of $29.1 million, not adjusted for inflation, though it was released ahead of Thanksgiving weekend and reached $39 million over that five-day period.) The family-friendly film, which centers on an alien-loving boy who longs for a community that understands him, came in third at the box office behind Universal Pictures' live-action remake 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which maintained its grip on theaters, and Sony Pictures' Danny Boyle-directed horror franchise revival '28 Years Later.' 'Elio' had strong reviews (84% 'fresh' on Rotten Tomatoes), but its soft opening underscores the postpandemic difficulty that original animated films have faced in attracting audiences, analysts said. The movie's performance could also have been hurt by its timing — the film was up against 'How to Train Your Dragon' and the long tail of Disney live-action remake 'Lilo & Stitch.' 'It feels to me that it's a good movie that got lost in the shuffle,' said Eric Handler, media and entertainment analyst at Roth Capital. For families, he said, 'there's only so many summer weekends a year, and you have to pick and choose which movies you do. 'Elio' just got squeezed out.' Marketing may also have played a factor, with analysts noting that audiences may have been unfamiliar with the title, a critical issue especially for an original film with new characters. People grew up with Sonic the Hedgehog long before he got his own movie. A fresh story is a tougher sell with so many entertainment options out there. Disney said in a statement that it was encouraged by the movie's audience and critics' review scores and hopeful 'Elio' would be discovered by families and moviegoers throughout the summer, similar to what happened with 'Elemental.' Despite a disappointing opening-weekend haul, 'Elemental' went on to gross $496 million worldwide, propelled by word-of-mouth reviews. The company also said it would continue to take swings on original animated intellectual property so it wasn't reliant only on sequels and existing franchises. Pixar plans to release another original animated film next year called 'Hoppers,' about technology that helps humans and animals communicate, followed by a 2027 original film called 'Gatto.' It also plans to release 'Toy Story 5' next year. While originals have had a harder time at the box office, animated sequels or films based on existing intellectual property have proved consistent hits. Films like Pixar's 'Inside Out 2,' Disney's 'Moana 2' and Universal's 'Super Mario Bros. Movie' each grossed more than a billion dollars in worldwide box office revenue, with Universal and Illumination Entertainment's 'Despicable Me 4' hauling in $969 million. By contrast, Universal's 2023 original animated film 'Migration' brought in $300 million worldwide. Even the critically acclaimed DreamWorks Animation title 'The Wild Robot,' which is based on a 2016 children's book, grossed $333 million. But industry insiders and analysts have said that focusing solely on sequels and reboots risks making the animation business stale and that fresh stories are necessary for the health of the industry. 'We should celebrate when studios and production companies like Pixar and Disney take their best shot, create a really great movie — an original film — and with everyone decrying the lack of originality out there, at least they went for it,' said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. 'It will certainly be a big winner on Disney+. But there's no sugarcoating the fact that this was an incredibly low opening weekend for a Pixar movie.' Pixar's track record with original animated films was nearly flawless for decades, with the occasional miss such as 2015's 'The Good Dinosaur.' But the box office reception for its latest original films have been muted, largely because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pixar sent three of its original films — 2020's 'Soul,' 2021's 'Luca' and 2022's 'Turning Red' — straight to Disney+ to give families something to watch during the stay-at-home orders. But as the pandemic waned, families were some of the last to return to theaters as they got used to the ease of watching animated movies at home and were concerned about the health implications of enclosed spaces. The reported budget for 'Elio' was between $150 million and $200 million, which compounds the opening-weekend problems for Pixar. That number doesn't include the tens of millions of dollars that go into a global marketing campaign. Studios split box office revenue with theaters. Disney has said animation budgets are higher for Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios films because the work is done in the U.S., as opposed to outsourcing overseas where the work is cheaper. The low opening weekend may not be the end for 'Elio,' even if 'Elemental'-esque box office longevity is not in its future. The fact that 'Elio' had a theatrical release bodes well for its eventual debut on the Disney+ streaming platform since it will benefit from the additional marketing, Dergarabedian said. And 'Elio' could be incorporated into Disney merchandise and theme park events, which could boost its visibility. 'Disney's big enough and broad enough,' he said. ''Elio' will be a well-received film that's absorbed into the Disney ecosystem.'
