Inside Out 2 Takes the Spotlight
Friends, let's talk about a major event happening at the movies right now. Pixar's Inside Out 2 is turning heads and getting folks excited! Deadline has reported some truly impressive early figures for our favorite emotions; Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger are having a fabulous party at the box office. The movie is predicted to make $140 million this weekend alone. Can you believe that?
This staggering figure puts Inside Out 2 among the giants, third behind The Incredibles 2 ($182 million) and The Super Mario Bros Movie ($146 million). This means Inside Out 2 is making around $50 million more than the original film did in its opening weekend back in 2015. Can anyone say ‘Cash Rain'? I know, right?
A Pixar Comeback Story
The success of Inside Out 2 is super important for Pixar. They've been going through a rough patch lately, with a series of unsuccessful films. Some folks even thought the magic was gone. But it seems like Inside Out 2 has turned things around for Pixar—just in the nick of time.
Movies like A Quiet Place: Day One, Despicable Me 4, and Deadpool and Wolverine are also expected to assist in this upward trend at the box office. This summer box office looks like it's snapping out of the dry spell.
Stiff Box Office Competition
Meanwhile, another strong contender in the movies is Bad Boys: Ride or Die. This sequel isn't letting the new kids push it down. It's expected to still bring in $28 million this weekend, despite being in its second week.
Disney's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is in third place, ahead of both The Garfield Movie and IF. Sure, these family-oriented movies lost some of their audience to Inside Out 2, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
All Eyes on Disney's Decision
In a surprising move, Disney has decided to keep Inside Out 2 off their streaming platform Disney Plus for at least three months. Could this decision contribute to the movie's box office success? It's a possibility.
So, are you as stunned by Inside Out 2's success as the rest of us? What do you think about Disney's choice to delay the streaming of Inside Out 2? Chime in and let's hear what you have to say!
We're just at the beginning of this box office ride, and it seems like Inside Out 2 is set to make history. Let's stay glued to the charts and see how far our beloved Emotions squad will go!
