Walt Disney and Pixar topped the domestic box office for the third straight weekend, as Inside Out 2 became the first 2024 film to cross the $1 billion threshold in ticket sales. It is also the fastest animated release to ever gross $1 billion—doing so in only 19 days, Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian told Barron’s. And it’s the biggest box office haul since last summer’s blockbuster Barbie, from Warner Bros. Discovery. Barbie surpassed the $1 billion mark 19 days after its June 19, 2023, global release date, and 17 days after its June 21, 2023, domestic release date, Dergarabedian said. Inside Out 2 hauled in another $57.4 million this weekend and an estimated $469.3 million cumulatively in the U.S. and Canada through Sunday, according to Comscore. The PG-rated film, the sequel to the 2015 animated hit that won the 2016 Oscar for Best Animated Film, grossed another $545.5 million internationally, also topping the global box office, according to BoxOfficeMojo. Inside Out 2 becomes only the 11th animated release to gross $1 billion. Eight of those 11 films are Walt Disney/Pixar titles. “The global sprint to $1 billion that [Inside Out 2] has enjoyed is most impressive, and despite an ever-growing number of films that have achieved this lofty goal, it’s an amazing feat and puts the film in the pantheon of top grossing animated films of all time,” Dergarabedian told Barron’s. ... #BoxOffice #WeekendMovies #InsideOut2

The sequel, set to hit theaters on June 14, 2024, introduces the frazzled, orange Anxiety. However, it’s worth noting that due to reported salary disputes, Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling won’t be reprising their roles as Fear and Disgust. They’ve been replaced by Tony Hale and Liza Lapira, respectively. The original “Inside Out” received critical acclaim and even won the 2016 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Now, fans eagerly anticipate the new emotional journey in “Inside Out 2.” Source thedailycourierng news #InsideOut2 #PixarMagic #EmotionalSequel #NewEmotionAnxiety #AnimatedFilm #ComingSoon #PixarFans #FilmNews

Watch the new trailer for Disney & Pixar's Inside Out 2, only in theaters June 14! #Insideout2 The little voices inside Riley’s head know her inside and out—but next summer, everything changes when Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” introduces a new Emotion: Anxiety. According to director Kelsey Mann, the new character promises to stir things up within headquarters. “Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat,” said Mann. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds.” A trailer, poster and film stills are now available for what promises to be the feel-good (or feel-everything) film of Summer 2024. Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone. Maya Hawke lends her voice to Anxiety, alongside Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Liza Lapira as Disgust. .

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

"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!
