>Pixar’s “Coco,” the last original animated film to gross over $500 million worldwide
That is so sad, that was almost 7 years ago. The closest is Elemental is 496M and the second-closest is Migration with 297M. And Coco made more than 800M, that’s unthinkable for an original film now.
Anyway, since it’s coming out in September and it’s not original (it’s based on a popular children’s series) I’d imagine there would be more upfront demand and nit be quite as leggy as Elemental, but it should still do well.

It’s definitely not gonna have even close to the same multiplier as Elemental since that came out during the summer

Eh, according to trackers on BOT, it’s looking like it has a good chance of opening within 35- 45 million.
As for legs, that’s a different story…

I knew I was right which is going to be the next Elemental 2.0 if it opens decently around $30M-$40M which should leg out though it won’t catch up Elemental numbers due to kids still at schools during the fall season since their aren’t any family competition till Moana 2 in two months
