Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” had a huge opening weekend, captivating audiences and bringing back the magic of family-friendly storytelling, according to a new report from CNBC.
The sequel to the 2015 hit has broken records and sent a clear message to the movie industry: the secret to success is making films that connect with viewers of all ages, without getting bogged down in social commentary or preaching.
With a huge domestic opening of $155 million, “Inside Out 2” is now the second-highest grossing animated film debut ever.
Globally, the movie is expected to bring in a whopping $295 million this weekend.
These numbers show just how much people love well-crafted, emotional stories that everyone can enjoy.
This success is a big boost for both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation, which have had a tough time at the box office since the pandemic.
