Pleased but still a bit surprised, if I’m honest.
Frozen II beat Frozen (despite the prediction of a certain "Pro" who said he had inside Disney metrics that it was going to bomb).
IO2 beats IO.
The trajectory is clear.
I'm eagerly awaiting Home on the Range II.

I think this is the story of the Box Office, it's hard to make sense of the audience these days. I am sure this is why Hollywood is in such a scramble.

It has me questioning what I missed about the film, which I really liked but certainly didn’t love. But as you say, this isn’t the only surprise the box office has thrown our way of late.

That parallel came to mind (in part because, as with IO2, I found the sequel weaker than the original), but the difference there was that Frozen was a global phenomenon, whereas Inside Out (as I remember things) wasn’t.

agreed…the box office has never been so unpredictable…what works one year does not necessarily work the next… last year an easy bet was low budget horror…except for a couple (A Quiet Place, Longlegs) films recently doing decent not so much this year… even Maxxxine did not really pop at the box offices despite building momentum from the previous Ti West movies and pretty good reviews

DIS has a pretty strong track record of being the fastest to a billion pre-pandemic. They pulled it off again.
Currently at the domestic B.O. for the January 1-July 31 period, Disney/20th Century Studios leads all motion picture studios with $1.07 billion, ahead of Universal’s $997.4M, per ComScore

IO was really, really big in schools. It gave teachers and especially (guidance) counselors a framework to talk about feelings with children and how to manage them.
Children were making adults watch Frozen. Adults were making children watch IO.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Slashes R-Rated Wednesday U.S. Box Office Record; Global Crossing $600M+ Today
Another day, another box office record for MarvelStudios/Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine. On Wednesday, the Shawn Levy-directed movie set the record for an R-rated movie, making $19.3M. That’s miles ahead of the previous champ Joker, which made $9.6M on October 9, 2019.
The domestic total stands at $280.4M. As we told you, Deadpool & Wolverine is bound to pass The Passion of Christ ($370.7M) by EOD Sunday as the highest grossing R-rated movie ever with a running cume of $380M.
FYI: Inside Out 1 has been on the top ten streaming movies for five weeks so far...
Let's not forget Inside Out to Inside Out 2 was filled with nothing but crap from Pixar and a lot of sequels. One original Elemental that tried to earn trust back and probably helped the brand.
It is not like 2016-2023 Pixar was anything golden.
It is nearly a decade ago. Practically a nostalgia play for those who saw it in elementary school and have now become adults and the other family members ages in-between who grew up with it.

I certainly underestimated this franchise. I think it appeals to a wider demo than most animated films as well. Also had solid trailers that didn't make it look like a pure cash grab sequel.

Marvel Removes 2026 Title, Searchlight’s ‘A Real Pain’ Moves to November in Major Disney Release Date Update

Fair. And evident by besides Frozen the property they keep shoving into the parks.
But that is one near the beginning of the last near decade mentioned back in 2017, Among crap/crap reception and other sequels. The brand was pretty damaged until Elemental gave some glimmer and Inside Out 2 giving people the want for good Pixar in theaters.
I think the fact that we have to bring up 2017's film, is a great example of why things have gone the way they have.
