‘Elemental’ Gets Digital and Home Media Release
Pixar’s Elemental has had one of the most interesting box-office runs in recent memory.
The film opened to a disappointing $28 million opening weekend and was quickly dubbed a flop, another misfire in Pixar’s recent history.

Despite the slow start, Disney continued to market the film, and then, something amazing happened — the film found its audience.
Six weeks after its initial release, nobody is calling Elemental a flop. The film has now crossed the $400 million barrier.
After an elongated and widely successful box office run, Disney has finally announced when Elemental will be available on home media!
