Elemental Taxed at Box Office Despite Praise for Immigrant Story

Pixar's latest film "Elemental" has been a financial flop.
The film was not heavily promoted and lacked the usual promotional enthusiasm behind it.
The Pixar formula is getting stale, with "Elemental" bringing nothing new to the plate narratively.
The voice cast doesn't have many big names, which may have contributed to the film's lack of success.
While receiving praise for its immigrant story, Elemental suffered at the box office opening weekend.
