“Elio” has been released for previews today and I went to see it. Truthfully, I expected to not like it. What I saw in the trailers seemed like a story I wouldn’t be interested in, and many have said it didn’t seem like a very “Pixar” story, but it is indeed a good film that feels like a Pixar movie. The lack of good marketing and past failure has likely harmed the potential box office for this film.

Disney and Pixar’s latest film “Elio” is set to hit theaters tomorrow and Friday, but already the box office predictions seem to be dropping. Previously, reports indicated an opening of $35-$45 million (which would be below “Lightyear”). Now the predictions seem to have dropped down to as low as $20 million, but they can go as high as $39 million. There is a $19 million difference between the predictions, but they are generally starting to track lower.

PETA, or the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has become a bit of a joke on social media. They try to latch on to anything for attention including Punxsutawney Phil (who lives like a king by the way) to almost naked women, a. They have also come under fire for reports of euthanizing animals instead of trying to adopt them out, including taking a child’s dog and putting it down. To say they don’t have a great reputation among those online is an understatement.

Test Track is currently closed for a retheme that will include inspiration from the World of Motion, which Test Track replaced. Today it was announced that it will reopen on July 22, 2025!The date was revealed with a new look at the attraction. The new focus is on trees? It seems they are very focused on making this version grounded in reality based on the Pacific Northwest. So like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure they are relying heavily on fake foliage? That makes me a bit nervous, but wait and see.
