Inside Out 2

[CJR]

Higher presales than Onward, Lightyear, and Elemental? I should hope so!

It's also important to note that Inside Out was released in 2015 and I think pre-sales are more common today than a decade ago. For example, AMC A-List debuted in 2018 and allows pre-booking at no extra charge. That would most certainly change the amount of people booking in advance.

So while strong pre-bookings are a great thing, it's hard to read into the weekend ahead. I hope it does well and it certainly should do better than the other post-covid releases.

I keep an eye on the number of screenings for movies at the 6 AMC theaters in my market, and Inside Out 2 is primed to be the biggest release (or maybe 2nd biggest? I don't recall where Dune 2 started) of the year so far.

It's got 104 screenings on Saturday.

For comparison:
KFP4 - 87
GxK - 85
Apes - 75
IF - 74
Bad Boys - 70
Furiosa - 67

Deadline looks to have it at 85. Box Office Pro is giving a range of 85-115, which seems like quite a non-specific wide range. Both are a tad above Dune 2.

I think that's probably the bragging line at this juncture heading into the weekend. Clearing Dune 2's 82.5 opening and there's nothing but "biggest opening of the year" headlines exiting it.

An upset disappointment for them would be low or sub 70's.

Presales for animated films at theatres near me are normally pretty meh, but I’m seeing lots of showings all weekend with TONS of seats sold.

This feels like a hit, for a change.

Yay!

I’m going to see this tomorrow. Pretty excited for it.

I'm not seeing that trend at my theater. It looks empty but it is showing 18 times a day. Regular viewing time 6-9pm are fairly empty all weekend long. That doesn't mean it will not make money. I'd say the odds of passing Dune 2 is remote at best.

I mean it's tracking above. I wouldn't say the odds are "remote", more like 50:50.

For sure. Tracking has been off before, but maintaining hope. I love this IP.

Finally, a Disney release I’m excited to see. Just grabbed tickets for the family.

I hope it's doing well at the box office. Pixar and WDAS needs that right now.

On one hand, I'm happy for what looks like a very strong start. On another, I'm a little worried they'll push more sequels in the future. I suppose we can enjoy the moment for now though!

Nothing wrong with sequels if done well.

Box Office Preview: Pixar’s ‘Inside Out 2’ Jumps on Tracking, Now Eyeing $90M U.S. Opening​

That would mark the biggest opening of the year so far in a boost for animation in general and Pixar in particular. The forecast is also looking bright for Illumination's Fourth of July tentpole 'Despicable Me 4.'

If word of mouth is good, I just may be able to get my friends to go see this with me.

They refuse to support the Disney company lately so fingers crossed.

 

[DCBaker]

Many people left at our showing, but there is something extra after the credits!

Your thoughts on the film?

 

[Surferboy567]

Just got out solid 7.5-8 for me. The pouch and Bloofy are the best characters.

Decent Pixar movie, not the greatest Pixar film but definitely enjoyed it. Would watch again.
