Disney-Pixar’s latest animated feature Elemental released last month in many territories, with the film becoming the highest-grossing Pixar film ever in South Korea. With five weekends on the market and an opening weekend of $3.27 million, its second weekend saw it make that number-one spot on the charts.
Staying there for two more weekends, its fifth weekend on the market saw it drop back to number two. But despite that, Elemental proved popular enough to overtake the previous holder of the highest-grossing Pixar film ever, 2015’s Inside Out. That previous record holder had a higher opening weekend at $4.66 million but only managed to top the charts for one week before it started dropping during its seven-week run on the South Korean market.

A month on from its release, Elemental has surpassed $300 million worldwide at the box office, despite a record worst domestic opening weekend for Pixar films at just $29 million. Released at the same time as The Flash, the opening weekend totals for both showed which seemed to be stronger despite both failing to meet expectations. While both saw a drop on their second weekend, The Flash’s was higher at -72.5%.
From that point on, The Flash continued to see massive drops of over -55% across the five weekends it has been on the market. Its opening weekend helped it to stay above Elemental for its first three weekends, but while The Flash now seems to have run out of steam, Elemental continues to further its lead between them.
