ELEMENTAL Box Office Nonesuch

So... ELEMENTAL looks to make $28-33m over the weekend... The autopsies are already being done, the expensive Pixar original is already deemed a flop... Here's what I say...

Box office is absurd: I mean really, box office runs seem more and more absurd by the year in the post-COVID outbreak era... Having to make so much money, in a very competitive field and in a time where audiences can't see too many movies a year, in around 3-4 months? Like c'mon, it's literally the infancy of a movie's existence. It's not the '00s, or even the '10s anymore.

Longevity: Especially since animated movies from both Pixar and Disney Animation traditionally have had long, ever-fruitful second lives. Whether it was thru theatrical re-releases (1940s-1980s), home video (1980s-onward), or streaming... ELEMENTAL will likely be no different by the end of the year, probably will rack up a million streams on Disney+. This has a very good "A" CinemaScore grade, so it could have very good legs over the summer, even if it doesn't top that ridiculous budget.

$200m budget... Making around $500m at the worldwide box office is a lot of pressure to put on an original animated family movie, let alone most movies, especially in this day and age.

"Well, if they had made a good movie-" OK, now do every blockbuster smash hit that got mixed to negative critical reception. Heck, do this year's SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE. Critical reception/one's own opinion doesn't mean shit. If it did, CARS 2 - the go-to for "worst Pixar movie" - would've flopped hard back in 2011, regardless of any goodwill brought over from the first movie.

That William Goldman quote/marketing/blah blah: "Nobody knows anything... Not one person in the entire motion picture field knows for a certainty what's going to work. Every time out it's a guess and, if you're lucky, an educated one." Whatever was in that marketing... And there WAS marketing... LOTS of it... Just didn't motivate audiences to shell out lots of money for tickets and concessions to see this film in a theater where it's possibly disgusting, noisy, or... Both!

Pixar is not in a slump: This is also all subjective. And if I was a filmmaker, and I had a slump of movies that ranged from roughly 70-85% Rotten Tomatoes scores - not that RT aggregate scores mean anything anyways... That'd be quite alright! Anyways, the movies they're currently making just aren't to your liking. That's all it is... and they don't have to release a specific kind of movie. This, ideally, should be a studio where a director makes THEIR film. Not a collective. Like it used to be at one point... Speaking of which-

John Lasseter: I've seen so many people, from inside animation fan circles... to even pundits writing for major movie publications... Suggesting that Lasseter's ouster left a real hole in Pixar, and Disney Animation as well. Never mind implying that a misogynist pervert should be brought back to the studio, but this also suggests that every Pixar success is because of him... And him only. Like, all the filmmakers are just untalented hacks without him? Like he's the guy who waves a magic wand and suddenly, everyone on board made a good movie? Do you want animated movies made by FILMMAKERS? Or films determined by a small COMMITTEE? I'm also old enough to remember when Lasseter was THE problem with Pixar, that he was a dictator making every director bow to his every demand. (Which was true.)

I'm sorry, but I'm just exhausted from how people are talking about ELEMENTAL... Which I haven't even seen yet, but it feels like people are trying to write such nuanced industry-related things and outside factors off and use their personal opinions/biases to explain away these box office mishaps, wrapping it up in neat simplistic bows...

I'm just concerned about what will happen with the studio from here on out, especially after 75 people - including veterans like Galyn Susman, Angus MacLane, and Steve Purcell - were laid off.

"Make better movies, then!" Okay, how subjective, it's not like the studio's people are all sitting there not putting in effort and calling it a day. Okay? These movies take years and years to plan out, make, remake, and finish. Like Goldman said, it's all a guess each time out. A gamble. When these people are making these movies, they're making decisions that they think are the right decisions at the right time. ELEMENTAL, by all accounts, went into development around 2016-ish. Around the time director Peter Sohn had finished THE GOOD DINOSAUR... How would the crew, and the studio as a whole, had known what the world would like in 2023? What audiences' ever-changing tastes would be? What the zeitgeist would be?

And again... "Make better movies"? MARIO might've pulled in $1.3b worldwide and became one of the highest-grossing animated movies of all-time, but the critical reception for it wasn't great. Mostly mixed to negative, not as good as this movie. Or TURNING RED, LUCA, SOUL, ONWARD, even LIGHTYEAR! And even all the recent WDAS movies, including big box office flop STRANGE WORLD.

Again, it's as simple - and boring - as "They made a movie... People didn't show up."

So... What do I think happens next?

Pixar hasn't had a genuine financial success in theaters since TOY STORY 4 all the way back in 2019. ONWARD got cut off by the pandemic, SOUL, LUCA, and TURNING RED all went straight to Disney+ in most parts of the world. LIGHTYEAR lost money, this might, too... How much did ELIO cost? Why should that film be expected to make the amount of money usually reserved for a massive superhero movie? INSIDE OUT 2 is all but a lock for a huge gross... A sequel, no less.

I would hate to see Pete Docter get removed as CCO (and who the hell would they replace him with anyways? The rest of the "Brain Trust" is either no longer working there or off doing other things), but I fear that could be a very real possibility. I know most of the internet declares Docter's Pixar to be some kind of failure, but I for one like his Pixar. Even if I didn't like the films coming out now, the place is a lot more director-driven than before, and more experimental. John Lasseter would've probably fired Enrico Casarosa, Domee Shi, and Angus MacLane off of all of their films... Or would've blockaded them every step of the way whenever they tried to make something in their respective films interesting. So yeah, I don't feel Docter is the problem here... it's really all down to how Disney handled the release of many of the recent Pixar films, how much the studio spends on their films, and the marketing just not enticing audiences to go see the films.

That's beyond Docter's control, and he even partially touched upon this in a recent interview... And for what it's worth, again... Audiences... The ones who actually saw the movie already... seem to be liking ELEMENTAL. "A" CinemaScore is pretty good. SPIDER-VERSE Deux and MARIO had an "A" CinemaScore as well. If this movie has excellent legs, it'll show that people - not internet-dwelling weirdos who seem to be the authority on all things animation - actually DID like the film... It just cost too much to make. Like a modern-day CLEOPATRA or SLEEPING BEAUTY. A movie that quite a few audiences went to, but it wasn't enough to cover the gargantuan costs to make it...

Like, if ELEMENTAL cost around BAD GUYS/PUSS IN BOOTS 2/DC SUPER-PETS/SPIDER-VERSE numbers... You know, around $80-90m in budget and NOT $200m+... this thing wouldn't be written off as a flop.

I'd imagine more sequels will happen, which was always a given, but maybe more so than ever before. INSIDE OUT 2 and TOY STORY 5, they weren't going to stop there, that was a given... Docter did say in that same interview that the originals in Pixar's library are fair game for sequels. And no smart exec walks away from movies that make $1b at the box office... Unless they're something like, say, TITANIC.

Maybe there will be stricter mandates put on Pixar films to "make them more appealing to audiences"... That's very possible, as it sometimes happens at these studios. Micromanaging, ya know? Trying to create that next big hit the mechanical way, by overthinking it... Instead of just making something and seeing how it all goes. How it does at the box office is often beyond a filmmakers' control anyways... Again, what the world will look like 4 years after you've started your endeavor...

Or maybe nothing happens, Pixar has special privileges, and keeps making what they make...

To me, the smartest thing would be to either... Step back and realize how silly box office has become, that it's absurd to expect a smash hit out of something in a crowded marketplace in just 2-4 months, hinging an entire studio's future on that... Or lower the budgets of these movies...

Anyways, sorry to rant, but it's all just absurd to me... Yes, the movie may indeed lose money, but it's not clear-cut.

First Complete Recording of William Susman’s “Quiet Rhythms” Book I by Nicolas Horvath

Collection 1001 Notes Who? What? William Susman (1960- ) may not be a household name but, since my first encounter (purely by chance) with this man’s work I have heard, enjoyed, and reviewed several fascinating CDs of chamber music and film music which demonstrate a significant musical voice with some mighty substantial compositions.

Check Your Colon For Cancer Nowadays It's Very Serious:

For a really long time, colon malignant growth has been on the ascent in more youthful individuals for hazy reasons. While malignant growth passings in the U.S. are falling generally, another report from the American Malignant growth Society features how the expansion in colon disease, as well as a few different tumors, is taking steps to evade that pattern.

In the last part of the 1990s, colorectal disease was the fourth-driving reason for malignant growth passings in people under 50. However, new information shows that it is presently the top reason for malignant growth demise in men under 50 and second to just bosom disease for ladies in a similar age bunch.

Here's a product that helps your colon to be clean and healthy right here>>https://bit.ly/3Pt9pjp

"Disease patients are progressively moving from more established to middle‐aged people who have a lot more long periods of future, and hence, chance to encounter the late impacts of therapy, including ensuing tumors," the review creators composed.

"The consistent sharp expansion in colorectal disease in more youthful Americans in disturbing," said senior review creator Dr. Ahmedin Jemal, senior VP of reconnaissance and wellbeing value science at the American Malignant growth Society, in a public statement. He required an expansion in evaluating for individuals somewhere in the range of 45 and 49, particularly for those with a hereditary inclination for colon malignant growth.

"As a country, we've failed on disease counteraction as rate keeps on expanding for the vast majority normal tumors — like bosom, prostate, and endometrial, as well as colorectal and cervical malignant growths in a few youthful grown-ups," added Rebecca Siegel, senior logical chief, reconnaissance research at the American Disease Society and lead creator of the report, in the public statement.

Here's a product that will help you keep your colon clean right here>>https://bit.ly/3Pt9pjp

The expansion in colorectal disease explicitly might be because of elements like more handled food varieties, higher paces of liquor utilization and corpulence, and more stationary ways of life, Dr. William Dahut, boss logical official for the American Disease Society, tells TODAY.com. Yet, there's probable something different at play that is more tricky.

"It's essentially conceivable that those are the things driving this. We really do see a greater number of men than ladies having colorectal disease," Dahut says. "Whether that is again because of a horrible eating routine or stoutness and less activity is basically a chance."

Carmen Susman generally said he'd climb, kayak and fish on Lake Erie all the more yet never saw everything through to completion. Subsequent to encountering stage 4 colorectal malignant growth and being effectively treated, he's difficult things he thought

Carmen Susman generally said he'd climb, kayak and fish on Lake Erie all the more however never saw everything through to completion. Subsequent to encountering stage 4 colorectal malignant growth and being effectively treated, he's difficult things he thoughtMore

At the point when Carmen Susman, 47, experienced bladder issues, a specialist thought he could have kidney stones. A ultrasound of his kidneys exposed a surprising finding: He had a mass on his liver. Further testing uncovered it wasn't liver malignant growth, however rather it was stage 4 colorectal disease.

Here's a product that will help you keep your colon clean right here>>https://bit.ly/3Pt9pjp

"At the point when I was analyzed, I was feeling perfect. My better half and I, we were practicing together consistently. I had a wide range of energy. I was cheerful. I felt fabulous," Susman, a stay-at-home father from Cleveland, tells TODAY.com. "Then you get this punch in the chest saying you have malignant growth. I'm like, 'How might I have disease on the off chance that I feel this benefit?'"

Urinary issues lead to a surprising finding

Susman saw he'd feel compelled to pee yet proved unable. He visited a urologist to comprehend what was occurring, and that specialist figured he ought to go through a ultrasound to search for kidney stones. The sweep uncovered he had a horseshoe kidney, a condition where the two kidneys are intertwined at the base, which can be asymptomatic. More troubling, it showed a mass on his liver, and specialists requested a X-ray to find out more.

"There was a medical caretaker saying, 'We see this constantly. Individuals come in, and it very well may be some greasy mass there. You will be fine,'" Susman says. "After the X-ray, they knew. … Her disposition totally different, and I was recently squashed leaving that day. I realize that something was off-base."

Here's a product that will help you keep your colon clean right here>>https://bit.ly/3Pt9pjp

From the start, specialists thought it was liver malignant growth.

"It's essentially final plan," he says. "For around three weeks, until I began meeting for certain specialists, that is the thing I was thinking — that I had about a little while to live."

Yet, his PCPs realize that essential liver malignant growth was uncommon, so they played out a colonoscopy, and they tracked down a cancer in his rectum. (At the point when he was analyzed, he had not gotten an opportunity to plan his most memorable colonoscopy yet).

"They were like, 'alright, you don't have liver malignant growth. It's rectal malignant growth, and here's the arrangement: We will do radiation, chemo and remedial medical procedure,'" he reviews. "I'm like, 'Could you say that once more? Might you at any point return to its core?' It went from me believing that I have a year with my children and my better half to truly expecting to push ahead."

Here's a product that will help you keep your colon clean right here>>https://bit.ly/3Pt9pjp

Susman's disease had metastasized to his liver. In any case, he felt shocked that specialists considered it reparable. He went through momentary radiation, which was five days of consecutive designated therapy. Then, at that point, he began chemotherapy.

"Your body quickly begins getting depleted and you can begin to feel unique," Susman says.

Fourteen days into it, he started hurling bile and he raced to the trauma center. Susman had a blockage in his digestive system that should have been eliminated right away.

"I needed to have crisis medical procedure, and they (set) a colostomy sack since I was simply so supported," he says. "It postponed the chemo treatment; it deferred the medical procedure. In this way, it reached the place where I was attempting to do anything conceivable only not to postpone anything more."

Side effects of colorectal malignant growth in youthful patients

When considered a more established individual's disease, colon malignant growth analyze in youngsters have encountered an emotional increment since the 1990s. A Walk 2023 report from the American Malignant growth Society found that individuals under 55 made up practically twofold the percent of colon disease analyze in 2019 contrasted with 1995 — 20% versus 11%.

"In the event that you returned to not that along prior, during the '90s, just a single out of five colorectal malignant growths are being analyzed in individuals younger than 55," Dahut says. "That is a major change in a somewhat little timeframe."

Dr. David Liska, overseer of the Youthful Beginning Colorectal Disease Community at Cleveland Facility, says the explanations behind the increment are indistinct.

"The fast response is we don't have an ideal comprehension of why it is working out," he tells TODAY.com. "We truly do realize that it is working out, and it's going on reliably now throughout the previous twenty years in any event. Also, it's going on all around the Western world."

"On the off chance that the ongoing speed proceeds, by 2030, the pace of colon disease in youthful grown-ups, significance individuals younger than 50, will have multiplied, and for rectal malignant growth, it will really have quadrupled," Liska says. "It's most likely an interaction of both ecological elements and some host-related factors."

All things considered, diet, absence of activity and corpulence can't give a total comprehension of why rates increment.

"I have a lot of patients who are youthful and solid and fit and can in any case get colorectal malignant growth," Liska says. "In this way, it's not the full story."

Normal side effects of colon malignant growth include:

Ridiculous stool

Changing entrail propensities

Unexplained stomach torment

Unexplained weight reduction

Unexplained weakness

For some's purposes, the disgrace of sharing entrail side effects could hold them back from telling their PCP.

"Patients don't be guaranteed to raise the side effects," Liska says. "A theme individuals aren't happy discussing."

When to get screened

Colorectal malignant growths can be identified right off the bat in a precancerous state, one of a handful of the tumors that can, the specialists say. That is the reason screening through a colonoscopy stays fundamental. Beginning at age 45, individuals ought to go through a colonoscopy.

Another explanation screening is significant is that "it is normal" for certain patients not to have side effects, Liska says, adding, "(The more youthful patients) are generally analyzed in light of colonoscopy."

Colonoscopies likewise allow specialists an opportunity to eliminate any precancerous polyps they might find.

"By far most of polyps that are found during colonoscopies are eliminated without further ado during the colonoscopy," Liska says. "(We) leave the polyp speechless and forestall the disease."

The American Disease Society, the U.S. Precaution Administrations Team (USPSTF), and the American School of Radiology all suggest that individuals who have a typical gamble of colon malignant growth (no family ancestry) begin screening at age 45.

In any case, the direction around colon malignant growth screening can befuddle. There are numerous ways of evaluating for colon malignant growth, for example, stool tests or a colonoscopy, and different master bunches have different direction on when to get screened in light of your gamble.

For instance, the American School of Doctors reported in July 2023 that "normal gamble grown-ups" who aren't encountering colon disease side effects can hold on until age 50 to get screened. Furthermore, a review from October 2022 created a commotion when it presumed that colonoscopies are related with practically no diminished gamble of death (however the information really recounted a more confounded story, specialists told TODAY.com at that point).

The main concern on colon disease screening is to converse with your primary care physician about your own singular gamble of colon malignant growth and evaluate together when to begin, as per Dr. Cedrek McFadden, board ensured colorectal specialist. Most protections will cover colon disease evaluating for normal gamble patients beginning at age 45 since they will generally start to lead the pack of the USPSTF.

Two Pixar veterans, Angus MacLane and Galyn Susman, are out at the Emeryville studio following layoffs that axed 73 other employees...

MacLane and Susman, most recently, directed and produced last year's LIGHTYEAR, respectively.

Susman's tenure goes way back, all the way back to the first TOY STORY. She is the very woman who, while working at home on maternity leave, kept a backup of *a version* of TOY STORY 2 after the files for the film at the studio had all accidentally gotten deleted. I say *a version* specifically, because this was for the TOY STORY 2 that we never saw. The one that was being developed as a direct-to-video sequel and done by a B-team, that Pixar heads ended up throwing out - deliberately - less than a year before the film's projected fall 1999 release. Even then... Talk about saving the day! In a studio that was, for many years, predominantly a "boys club", she was a prominent woman there and managed to have a long career within those walls: All four TOY STORY movies, MONSTERS INC., FINDING NEMO, RATATOUILLE, WALL-E, etc., she had a hand in.

And now she's no longer there...

MacLane, who helped make TOY STORY 2's epic Lightyear video game opening sequence, who went on to direct TOY STORY OF TERROR!, co-direct FINDING DORY, and direct LIGHTYEAR... Among many other endeavors... Now also gone...

Whatever the reasoning is for these layoffs, they're unfounded. But this is what happens in capitalism-land... A studio faces hardships, or is about to face hardships, they or their parent company land the hammer... And often times, it's the filmmakers and talents and creatives that get hit the hardest.

If you ask me, Susman and MacLane are not at all to blame for the failures of the people on top. Unless they were toxic people to work with for so very long, there - to me - is no good reason to axe them like this. No matter who ordered it, whether it was Bob Iger or Pete Docter. LIGHTYEAR might not have been considered a good movie by many, but it was no less a labor of love than the other movies made at Pixar. MacLane, Susman, the crew, give it their all and they all felt during its 5-year journey from idea to finished picture that they had something going. That they made the right choices, but the late screenwriter William Goldman will always be right about this kind of thing: In that, no one knows anything when a movie is being made, and if a picture hits it big at the box office, it was luck. A good guess. June 2022 was not the right time for LIGHTYEAR, and the world is an ever-changing place... How could the film crew behind LIGHTYEAR have known what 2022 was going to look like when beginning production on that movie circa 2018-2019? It failed to make much of a stir at the box office...The first two months of its existence... Its infancy, never mind that the movie will exist forever and that a movie's life merely begins at its original theatrical release. Nope, its status is defined by existing for two months in a building with big screens. Box office is often fun to predict and watch, but the deification of it... Especially post-COVID-outbreak, is all utterly silly and not really conducive to moviemaking.

This makes me worry about other directors and creatives at Pixar. Peter Sohn, whose new film ELEMENTAL is out in less than two weeks, made his feature directorial debut with THE GOOD DINOSAUR... Which was Pixar's first money-loser, and yet, he locked another picture. I fear, if ELEMENTAL doesn't do well for whatever reason, his long and impactful career at Pixar might be on ice as well... Which is why I don't get why many so-called animation and film lovers online, armchair experts they are, seem so gleeful about its possible floppage, much as they were with LIGHTYEAR last year. In a very condescending "that'll teach'em!" manner...

I don't root for animated movies I dislike to fail, because it's a loss for a team that worked hard for years on, and honestly, we kind of all lose when this kind of thing happens. It hurts employees more than it forces a studio to make the kinds of movies you specifically want to see. Hell, LIGHTYEAR (and ELEMENTAL, knock on wood) flopping could have an adverse affect and make Pixar greenlight nothing but franchise movies and a slew of movies that are required to be something people don't like. They could very well turn around and say "let's make movies for 3-year-olds for here on out, and compete with Cocomelon!" Okay maybe that's an exaggeration, but you catch my drift, right?

I think, ultimately, MacLane and Susman will be fine. Their experience speaks for itself, and other studios would be silly to not hire them, and I wish them well in the endeavors they pursue...

But, this is very saddening news no doubt. Much like director jail, this is obtuse punishment, not at all a reflection on the real meat of the problem: The ever-changing zeitgeist, how Disney themselves handled the release of the film in question, how management up above messed around, how much money was spent...

I know people online like to cut to the chase and say "Well, they should've made a better movie!" THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE made over $1.3b at the worldwide box office, but most of its critical reception has been mixed to negative, and many have called it a subpar movie. That's all subjective, and box office doesn't validate or invalidate a picture. In another universe, movies like INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE or COCO or PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH or ZOOTOPIA would've flopped hard. In another universe, the likes of LIGHTYEAR and GOOD DINOSAUR and STRANGE WORLD and TURBO and RISE OF THE GUARDIANS would've been blockbusters.

You see how silly this all is? Strip away the recognizable IP, pretend this is a world where the Mario franchise never happened: How would THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE had done at the box office? As an original weirdo-cutesy isekai adventure picture about two plumbers and a fantasy world with little mushroom guys and funny turtle bad guys? That could've been a massive flop. Heck, Mario itself literally exists because Nintendo couldn't get the license to adapt Popeye into an arcade game circa 1980, so Shigeru Miyamoto and crew chose a similar concept - a man who uses powerups, a woman to rescue, and a big brute bully - to make a marketable project. Because, what Nintendo games before DONKEY KONG do lots of people know? Is there any pop cultural footprint that RADAR SCOPE left? Or SHERIFF? I thought so... And little did they know what this simple concept-turned-game would metamorphose into some four years later...

No one knows what'll work, and in the world we live in? You gotta make an impression, or else. It's a brutal game, like these big works of art enter an arena and have to survival the initial brawl.
