Pixar's Elemental has a high budget for an animated movie, giving it a steep hill to climb to become a box office success. The highly regarded animated studio is best known for its original movies, but it has also developed a steady reputation for delivering box office hits. Pixar's reliance on sequels throughout the 2010s brought four $1 billion hits, and that success helped prop up its unique ideas too, with Inside Out and Coco gathering massive box office hauls. Elemental is another example of the studio leaning into fresh stories instead of sequels and franchises. Disney hopes it will be another big financial victory too.
