☆ New Pixar film 'Elemental' opens weak for Disney
  + stars: | 2023-06-18 | by ( Lisa Richwine | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
The opening figure for the United States and Canada fell shy of box office forecasts and ranked among the lowest ever for a film from Pixar, the acclaimed animation studio behind "Toy Story," "Finding Nemo" and other classics. "Elemental," a story about overcoming outward differences, added $15 million overseas for a global total of $45 million, Disney said. The film opened in just three major international markets and will expand to other countries in the coming weeks. Pixar is looking to rebound from the box office disappointment of its 2022 release "Lightyear," the origin story of "Toy Story" hero Buzz Lightyear. The movie brought in an earthbound $226.7 million in global ticket sales, a fraction of the $1 billion take for 2019's "Toy Story 4."

☆ How 'Elemental' star Leah Lewis handles rejection and imposter syndrome in Hollywood
  + stars: | 2023-06-18 | by ( Jennifer Liu | In Jljenniferliu | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Leah Lewis is only 26, but she's already spent more than half her life trying to make it as an actor. In "Elemental," Lewis voices the lead character Ember, a fire-type living in a world where residents embodying fire, water, air and land co-exist in Element City. For Lewis, it's one of a handful of bigger roles she's landed in a few short years. Even when I landed some kind of success with "Nancy Drew," "The Half of It," now "Elemental," I think, "Are you sure?" I've done the work, and the work really leads me to feel like I'm not like faking it.

☆ ‘Elemental’ Review: Sparks Fly
  + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Amy Nicholson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
“Elemental” is the latest Pixar premise to feel like someone laced the cafeteria’s kombucha keg with ayahuasca. This story is simpler (elemental, even). Yet, the four classical elements are one of civilization’s great unifiers, a cosmological theory shared by the Hindu Vedas, the Buddhist Mahabhuta, the Kongo cosmogram, the Indigenous medicine wheel and the zodiac. We’ve long interpreted life through water, earth, air and fire. Now, the trick is to see the life in them, once we squint past the visually overwhelming chaos of Element City, a smelting pot of puns and allusions.

☆ Disney's Pixar seeks return of box office magic with 'Elemental'
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Dawn Chmielewski Lisa Richwine | Dawn Chmielewski | Lisa Richwine | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The movie is projected to debut with a modest $31 million to $41 million this weekend in the U.S., according to the Box Office Pro website. That is well shy of the recent $120.5 million haul for Sony’s critically acclaimed animated hit "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." Pixar is looking to rebound from the box office disappointment of 2022 release "Lightyear," the origin story of "Toy Story" hero Buzz Lightyear. "Judging Pixar on the recent past, history would not be kind," said SVB MoffettNathanson media analyst Michael Nathanson. But the move dealt a blow to creatives who had hoped their films would be seen on the big screen, according to one Pixar director who spoke on condition of anonymity.
