Pixar's Elio has been delayed by over a year, which is concerning following Elemental's box office performance, and Elio could be released on Disney+.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Disney has just delayed the upcoming Pixar movie, Elio, and that could be concerning for a number of reasons following Elemental's box office performance. Originally scheduled for release on March 1, 2024, Disney delivered a surprising update about Pixar's next movie with the confirmation that Elio was delayed by over a year.
Although the 2023 animated movie originally struggled financially, Elemental became a surprising success after making $494 million , helping reverse Pixar's box office struggles since 2019's Toy Story 4. 2020's Onward had a lukewarm reception and flopped at the box office, and Lightyear was a shocking box office bomb given that it's part of a multi-billion-dollar Toy Story franchise.
Will Disney Release Elio On Disney Plus Instead Of Theaters? The apparent lack of confidence from Disney in Pixar's Elio could be an early concerning sign that it could forgo a theatrical release entirely and release on Disney+ exclusively. Disney has struggled with animated sci-fi movies at the box office with Lightyear and Strange World recently, so there could be worry about spending millions on a marketing campaign for another potential disappointment.
