Pixar's 'Elio' had a disastrous debut, grossing a mere $35 million worldwide, setting a new low for the animation giant.
In stark contrast, 'How to Train Your Dragon' dominated international box offices, earning a substantial $53.5 million in its second week.
Sony's '28 Years Later' surprised everyone with a successful opening weekend, accumulating a strong $60 million globally.
While 'Elio's' initial performance is concerning, Disney anticipates positive word-of-mouth will eventually propel its box office success.
