However, since it is an original animation, it will depend on word-of-mouth, and it is too early to decide its faith. The film\u2019s opening-day collection at the box office in North America is on the depressing side. Keep scrolling for more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On a positive note, the animated feature received rave reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics gave it <strong>85%<\/strong> and stated, \u201cCatapulted by its theme of building self-esteem, Pixar\u2019s latest cosmic wonder boasts a fanciful world of original creations to dazzling effect.\u201d The audience also agrees with the critic\u2019s rating, rather a little more, as they gave it 91% on the aggregate site. It will suffer because of Lilo &amp; Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon since they are trending and already have a set fanbase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elio\u2019s Box Office Collection Day 1 [North America]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/release\/rl1561428737\/?ref_=bo_hm_rd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>\u2018s data, the animated feature Elio collected just <strong>$9 million<\/strong> on its opening day in North America, including the <strong>$3 million<\/strong> from the previews.
