Last year, Pixar had a very successful run in theaters with Inside Out 2 becoming the high grossing western animated film of all time. Part of it was due to how good the film was and how relentless Disney was with its marketing. Unfortunately for this year, Pixar could only achieve a small fraction of that success. Earlier in June, they released Elio; and despite being a really good movie in my opinion, the film ended up flopping in the box office. Part of the failure could be due to Elio being overshadowed by other movies released in June like the HTTYD remake and Kpop Demon Hunters. But I mostly blame Disney's lack of marketing for the film being a flop. But why would they let this happen to movie that costed them hundred of millions of dollar to make? Well, the answer may surprise you.
