The failures of ‘Elio’ could accelerate the disappearance of the original animation, says the analyst of Wall Street
The Trébuchard out of the door by ElioWho had the worst opening to the box office of any pixar film at only $ 21 million, highlights a “trend concerning”, in the opinion of a Wall Street analyst.
Despite a rotten score of 84%, which placed it in the 30% most overhaul of all the films examined each year, the release of Disney-Pixar ended with a poster child for Times, as analyzed Anthony d’Alessandro de Deadline.
Doug Creutz, who covers the media sector for TD Cowan, says that the gap between the original animation and the consequences or the derived properties has become “extremely wide” from Covid. And this fracture will probably have consequences.
“We expect cinema studios to react to this clear trend of Greenlighting fewer animated films IP Original (do not blame film leaders, blame the public),” wrote Creutz. “The problem, of course, is that without new successful properties, a studio cannot develop its IP portfolio.
Investors seemed just as suspicious at the start of Monday negotiations, sending Disney shares down 2%, but they gathered to close a fraction at $ 117.75. The performance of individual films rarely affects shares, although the frightening implications of a dysfunction of the themed park mounting chain are certainly sufficient to give the market break. This was one of the reasons why Disney launched Elio from 2024 to 2025, especially to avoid a failure while CEO Bob Iger faced a proxy fight.
“Intellectual property has really become the cornerstone of modern theme park industry,” said Dennis Spiegel, CEO of Consultancy International theme Park Services, recently. About $ 34 billion a year of parks income, Disney eclipses its competitors but turns to new properties to update its pipeline. While Inside out 2 And Moana 2 Stacked Records and the next Toy story 5 Forms like a mastodon, none will provide a base for attractions or experiences of new parks.
Since 2022, has observed Creutz, the average gross of the original animated titles published by Disney (including Pixar) and Universal (including lighting) has been $ 412 million. This represents less than half of the average of $ 844 million for the seven animated payments of the suite published on the same scope. The analyst noted that even this striking comparison implies a major Asterix – he included Super Mario Bros. As a novel, even if its transport of $ 1.36 billion was motivated by the fact that it was based on a long -term video game.
