I’m mildly obsessed with Elemental’s water-people hair
Of all 2023’s surprise cinematic success stories — like Barbie out-grossing the mega-successful Avatar: The Way of Waterto become the year’s biggest box-office hit to date, or Cocaine Bear doing better in American theaters than the $125 million Shazam sequel — nothing’s been quite as surprising as Pixar’s Elemental quietly bucking the odds to become a stealth hit. Initially and widely dismissed as a flop after a poor opening weekend, Pixar’s latest lingered in multiplexes for months while other movies rapidly came and went, often hitting digital release before the butter on moviegoers’ popcorn had cooled. It made more than $480 million in theaters, then debuted on Disney Plus with what Disney claims was a record-breaking premiere weekend.
