Elemental shows the impact of what happens when you devalue a brand by moving it to Disney+. What a sad end to Pixar as we knew it.

Here’s more sequels since they don’t understand.

Or at least putting it on the streamer as quickly as they are. My sister has three kids. For them to go to the movies, tickets alone are $70 - spamlet Jun 18, 15:47 11
- We discuss this on the podcast this week. The people who left theaters just aren't coming back except for many one every few years. -- (link) - David Jun 18, 15:51 10
  - They still go regularly. They saw Guardians and Spider-Man but Pixar means nothing to the kids and there’s no urgency to see it. -- nm* - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 18, 16:00 6
    - Exactly. People have returned to theaters. Look at the grosses. They are just selective and Pixar has no name anymore. It’s been killed. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:12 3
      - Box office during the first quarter of 2023 fell 25% short of 2019 levels, and that's with Avatar 2. -- nm - David Jun 18, 17:22 2
        
        studios only released 65% of the total number of titles in theaters last year v 2019. the pipeline also isn’t yet at pre-pandemic levels -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 19:19 1
        
        Who said anything about last year? That's the most recent data. And we've had a boatload of mega-expensive films out lately. Why did they fail? -- nm - David Jun 18, 19:53
    - This is one of those rare films I can happily recommend to everyone. It's slight but lovely. -- nm - David Jun 18, 16:09
    - yup. -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 16:01
  - we seniors know what days are our $4 discount. -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 18, 15:55
  - yes collapsing the theatrical window even shorter was also felony stupid -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:54 1
    - As demonstrated by...all the found money studios are getting from PVOD? -- nm - David Jun 18, 15:56
It can be easily fixed back. Just delay the releases to dvd and disney. Bring back the vault. -- nm - Qale Jun 18, 15:39
Mmm, #HotTakes -- nm - David Jun 18, 15:35 19
- why did it open lower than any other Pixar since Toy Story in 1995? -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:43 18
  - Why have The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, Shazam 2, and The Flash all bombed? - David Jun 18, 15:49 17
    - Other than them being bad movies? -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 16:44 1
      - My understanding is that The Flash is the best superhero movie ever. - David Jun 18, 16:45
    - lol and there's zero difference between any movies from any different studios -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:50 11
      - I don't even understand what you're arguing here, if anything. -- nm - David Jun 18, 15:54 10
        
        DC movies being total shit has nothing to do with why Pixar has been kneecapped theatrically -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:56 9
        
        "Kneecapped" meaning what exactly? Do you even know what the opening weekend box office difference is between this and Onward? - David Jun 18, 15:57 8
        
        It’s down 25% from Onward after opening and will be ahead because ten days from now, the world won’t shut down. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 18, 16:01 7
        
        The argument is that Pixar has ruined itself, and that's easily disproven by the fact that this film will outearn their most recent one. - David Jun 18, 16:09 6
        
        I mean, that's a take. It's going to finish ahead of a movie that was removed from theatres after 14 days because of a global pandemic.... - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:14 5
        
        It'll be running neck and neck with that film by next Sunday, which is before the shutdown. So, your point vanishes. - David Jun 18, 16:23 4
        
        I'll take Wednesday night or as 2020 calls it RudyGoberteenth. - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:50 3
        
        The fact here is we will never be able to make the case to David about anything Disney. It’s just not worth it. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:14 2
        
        If that helps you defend an easily refuted bad-faith argument, okay. Saying Pixar is dead reminds of the time that you swore beer was dead. -- nm - David Jun 18, 17:18 1
        
        Go back and look at the post. I never said that. I said Hard Seltzer was skyrocketing and taking market share. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:28
    - Because Warner put all of its movies on HBO Max and devalued everything. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 15:50 2
      - yes also begs the question “why is box office down since 2019” -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:53
      - So, why is all the other box office down as well? - David Jun 18, 15:53
