The film, which features an orphaned boy and friendly aliens, faced tough competition from Disney's live-action 'How To Train Your Dragon' and Danny Boyle's '28 Years Later.' While Pixar's history showcases iconic films, original ideas like 'Elio' are struggling. Nevertheless, early exit polls show positive audience reception, raising hopes for its long-term prospects as seen with 'Elemental.'
