Inside Out 2: Pixar’s Potential Comeback in the Box Office?

Date:

Key Takeaways:

– Inside Out 2 expected to help Pixar regain box office leaderboard position.
– Box Office Pro predicts opening to be between $85 to $115 million.
– Considering Pixar’s recent track record, a $60 million opening seems more probable.
– Bad Boy: Ride or Die set to retain number 2 spot, likely bringing in $27 million.
– The Garfield Movie expected to lose its family audience due to Inside Out 2, landing it the third place with a probable $6 million.

Hey there! This weekend, movie enthusiasts are awaiting the release of Pixar’s Inside Out 2. Given Pixar’s somewhat rocky performance in recent years, Inside Out 2 is hoped to be a shining beacon that will reclaim Pixar’s former glory in the box office landscape.

While Box Office Pro is optimistic, predicting the film could open with an auspicious $85 to $115 million, Pixar’s previous performances inspire caution. Remember Lightyear? Everyone thought that, as a spin-off of the blockbuster Toy Story movies, it would be a smash hit. But unfortunately, it opened with just $50 million. Then, Elemental came along. With an eerie $29 million opening last summer, Elemental eventually managed to crawl up to a respectable $150 million-plus.

Even though it’s not being hailed as revolutionary as the original, Inside Out 2 has been receiving respectful reviews. The first movie, launched nine years ago, opened with $90 million and reached a remarkable $350 million-plus. Now, that’s a target Inside Out 2 would love to emulate.

But Pixar had a bumpy ride when it decided to release its movies directly on Disney Plus during the pandemic. This move, in combination with shortened theatrical windows, made family audiences more selective about their cinema trips. Considering the pricey tickets and tightened budgets, it’s no surprise that the turnouts have been lower.

Still, Inside Out 2 is expected to perform decently with an estimated opening of $60 million. This might seem optimistic to some, but we’ve got our fingers crossed!

In the meantime, don’t forget about Bad Boys: Ride or Die. This film is anticipated to keep its number 2 position, with a projected 50% decrease to about $27 million. The Garfield Movie, on the other hand, is expected to take a hit, losing most of its family audience to Inside Out 2 and settling for third place with around $6 million.

Fourth place is likely to be secured by John Krasinski’s film, IF, with about $5 million, while WB’s The Watchers, after a significant audience drop this week, might slip to 6th place behind Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which could secure around $3 million.

Here’s a quick recap of our movie predictions:

– Inside Out 2: $60 million
– Bad Boys: Ride or Die: $27 million
– The Garfield Movie: $6 million
– IF: $5 million
– Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: $3 million

So, what’s your take on this? Do you think Inside Out 2 will surpass our prediction? Don’t forget to let us know in the comments! Happy movie watching!
