Pixar film "Elemental," which features the studio's first "non-binary" character, according to a voice actor for the film, earned only $29.5 million in its opening weekend.
It was the lowest opening weekend ever for Pixar, The New York Times reported Sunday. That was despite creative direction from Pixar, one of the most famous studios in the entertainment business, and support from Disney, which owns Pixar.
Outlets around the country took notice of the movie's dismal performance. The movie "fell short of already-low expectations," Variety reported. "Pixar’s ‘Elemental’ falls flat," The New York Times headlined Sunday. The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the move was "iced by moviegoers" along with "The Flash,"

It should be 'Elemental' by now: "Go Woke, Go Broke."

So Disney characters are either binary or non-binary, making this a binary construct.

Time for the major stockholders of Disney to rise up and take control of Disney. The stupidity of management is overwhelming. If the stockholders don't do something, in 5 years the stock will be worthless.

No chance that I will ever pay for any Disney or Disney subsidiary movie, ever again. I have a few of the good old animations on DVD for grandkids.
Nothing from this current crop of pedophiles and perverts will ever get any of my support.

I'm seeing it all over in real life. People are tired of all this queer nonsense. Many are not even looking over their shoulders before tearing into it.
Maybe an end is in sight.

One flop after another with the Indy Jones film up next.
At some point the tipping point comes,with the CFO resigning last week, & Disney will have to start selling off IPs.

Even better was the number 1 movie this past weekend: "The Flash". Projections were originally for $180 million opening, that dropped to $120 by the start of the week. Over the weekend it went from 120, to 80, to 75 to finish around $55 million. That's more than a bomb.

Somewhere they were convinced that 40+% of people were gay, or something, from what I heard.
But, I just came from West Hollywood, which is very gay-friendly city in the LA area. They fly a lot of flags and have banners, etc... but I can attest no one was walking around in overly flamboyant outfits. It wasn't some spectacle but normal, everyday life. Unlike the parade they host annually, but wonder why outrageous outfits suddenly become the clothing of choice for the parade.
And, I think I know why there is this sudden increase of drag queens reading to children in schools. The Democrats are finding a new way to help employ many of them, which helps them financially, and increases their chances of voting for Democrats to ensure the employment is maintained.
California just passed a Proposition that many likely thought was to help provide funding to support in-class materials, but it's mostly going to employ people to come into classrooms to talk about things on that class subject. Ostensibly would be "experts" in the field, or some artist, etc... But, you can see how this will be a new jobs program instead of supplying materials to the classrooms.

Elemental? Bet most people asked, 'What the heck is an elemental?' The other thing, doubt elementals would be considered human so why do they have human characteristics. Not hard to see why the movie flopped,
There is another movie coming out that seems equally lame. Mermaid vs. Squid Girl? Whaaaattt?
Disney needs some new writers and producers.

Why do these people think that being non-binary is entertainment? They need mental health evaluations with their obsessions about gender.
