"Inside Out 2" has become the first movie of 2024 to top $1 billion at the global box office, achieving this milestone just 19 days after its release. The Pixar sequel has set a new record as the fastest animated film to reach this figure. Tony Chambers, Disney’s executive vice president of theatrical distribution, expressed his excitement over the film’s success, attributing it to Pixar's creativity and the power of great storytelling. The film’s release on June 16 has significantly boosted the 2024 box office, which had been trailing 2023's performance by over 25%. According to Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore, the success of "Inside Out 2" has reduced the year-over-year domestic box office revenue deficit from 27% to 19%. "Inside Out 2" is now the highest-grossing film of the year and the first to pass $1 billion since "Barbie" in July of the previous year. It joins an elite group of Disney and Pixar films that have crossed the billion-dollar mark, including "The Incredibles 2," "Finding Dory," "Frozen," and "Toy Story" sequels.

🏆 It's awards season ✨ The TV and Film industry have been onto what3words for a while, and it makes a lot of sense when you're popping up an entire village of people and props in a random locations for a shoot. In a production where every second costs money and daylight, efficiency is key. We (of course) use what3words for our call sheets, meeting spots and remembering exactly where we took our best shots. But here are 3 partners where a what3words integration helps this crew in particular behind the scenes: Helios Pro - An app that allows cinematographers and location scouts to forecast the position of the sun, moon and stars to help visualise what a shot will look like at any time of day. The Movie Lot - On-set security for productions like Doctor Who, uses what3words to help coordinate staff to the right spots. Addison Lee - A city favourite for getting from A to B, their app and booking platform accepts what3words addresses to make sure people, equipment, lunches...or whatever is needed get exactly to the right spot.

‘Inside Out 2’ Becomes Pixar’s Highest-Grossing Movie   This was last week’s big news – but what a milestone for PIXAR to come back from a lull with. Highest grossing film of the year, biggest opening weekend for animation, biggest second weekend / smallest drop off for an animated film, any of those would have been a great way to celebrate PIXAR’s return to box office success.   But to have all of those and it became their highest grossing picture ever? That is wonderful. I don’t doubt they can keep up this mojo, they’ve been down before. I just hope this helps bring back the public perception of them as well.   Disney giving away some of their films (excellent ones I will add as well) for free on streaming hurt the brand. Coming back to theaters with Lightyear, clearly a corporate pick, hurt the brand. Elemental was a slow burn, but a positive outcome in the end. Let’s hope this return to form keeps up. With all the talk about Toy Story 5* I had to look up what comes before it (2 films actually) – let’s hope those next PIXAR films get the care and release they deserve. But way to go PIXAR.   https://lnkd.in/eZ9CJhxn #letsmakeplans #themedentertainment #disney #PIXAR #disneyparks

"Shrek 2," a beloved film, recently marked its 20th anniversary with a re-release in theaters by Universal Pictures. As someone who contributed to all four Shrek films during my time at PDI/DreamWorks, I'm grateful for the experience among a talented crew. However, I've grown less tolerant of sensational headlines in the entertainment industry, like one that unfairly criticizes Disney in light of Shrek 2's success, citing that Disney should be "embarrassed". Such headlines overlook Disney and Pixar's pioneering work with "Toy Story," which paved the way for animated films' success today. Disney has nothing to be embarrassed about. The article compares Shrek 2's box office performance to recently released films, but it's important to remember that connecting with audiences is challenging. Every film released doesn't become a blockbuster, and each studio has its strengths. If it were easy, everyone would be creating films and every film would be a blockbuster. Let's appreciate the diversity of films available to us and celebrate storytelling and the effort it takes to bring a project to the big screen. Criticism should be constructive, not aimed at stirring controversy. Ultimately, let's strive for better discussions and appreciative reflections within the entertainment industry. We can do better!

The Walt Disney Company is jumping for Joy. That’s because the studio’s emotion-laden “Inside Out 2” has surpassed “Frozen II” to stand as the highest-grossing animated film in history. After six weeks of release, “Inside Out 2” has generated $601 million domestically and $861 million internationally, bringing its global tally to a staggering $1.46 billion. “Frozen II” was bigger than the very successful original 2013 film and collected a mighty $1.45 billion during its theatrical run in 2019. (Disney’s 2019 remake of “The Lion King,” which earned a staggering $1.65 billion, is technically computer-generated, but the studio has categorized the movie as live-action. So, it doesn’t have a place on the list of top animated movies.)

Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” could be the first film since Warner Bros.′ “Barbie” to top $1 billion at the global box office. “As a global phenomenon attracting moviegoers well beyond families and kids and a message that resonates and is relatable across all cultures and languages, ‘Inside Out 2’ is the rare film that is both a box office sprinter and a marathon runner,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. “It is the perfect candidate for admission to the billion-dollar club.” The animated feature has tallied $724.4 million worldwide as of Sunday, making it the highest-grossing film of 2024. Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment’s “Dune: Part Two” previously held this year’s record with $711.8 million. ″’Inside Out 2’s′ performance is the culmination of many things,” said Shawn Robbins, founder and owner of Box Office Theory. “A meaningful story that people of all ages and backgrounds can relate to, beloved goodwill toward the original film, Disney and Pixar’s legacy brand appeal, pent-up demand for a family movie, a very consumer-friendly runtime under two hours, school breaks, and oppressive heat waves driving many people indoors for air-conditioned entertainment can all be pointed to as ingredients in the recipe for this box office storm.” The film snared another $100 million domestically over the weekend, an unheard of 35% drop from its opening weekend. Films typically see a 50% to 70% drop in ticket sales from their debut weekend to their second weekend. https://lnkd.in/gyYN72f6

Lumping the news of the Woody Woodpecker Netflix Hybrid movie and the theatrical movie IF into one post here because I'd like to note that both are surely marketing themselves as family co-view with a lean towards the older with their retro-brand (Woody) and star-studded casting (If) that matter more to the grown-ups than to kids. Also, I'm hopeful to see more hybrids like this following the double success of the Sonic the Hedgehog films. Hybrid naturally offers more unique marketing, story-telling, and fresh visuals that may help differentiate from their fully animated near-cousins in the film world. Also, brands that already have saturation in the animated marketplace in TV and/or film can find fresh returns by creating the best-of-both-worlds - their characters animated, but mixing with live-action counterparts. #animation #cartoons #hybridmovie #movies #film IF (trailer marketing stunt) https://lnkd.in/dqKAZVQR Woody Woodpecker (release date) https://lnkd.in/dAFcgiVR
