Global Box Office: Pixar’s ‘Elio’ Craters With $35 Million, ‘28 Years Later’ Awakens to $60 Million
Disney and Pixar's animated adventure "Elio" crash-landed in its box office debut, earning a dismal $14 million overseas and $35 million globally.
“Elio,” too, has scored great feedback from audiences, so Disney is hoping the intergalactic tale about young boy who connects with aliens after getting mistaken for Earth’s ambassador will endure on the big screen over the next few months. Though Universal’s “How to Train Your Dragon” likely catered to the same family friendly audience as “Elio,” here won’t be much competition on the animated front until Paramount’s “Smurfs” lands in theaters on July 18. “28 Years Later” is the sequel to 2002’s “28 Days Later” and 2007’s “28 Weeks Later.” Set almost three decades after a contagious rage virus unleashed its wrath on the world, the story follows a group of isolated survivors who venture to the mainland and discover a mutation that is threatening to ravage the rest of the population.
