‘Inside Out 2’ brought all the feels with a $62M opener, could be highest grossest film of year
“Inside Out 2” gave moviegoers all the feels.
On its first day in theaters Friday, the Disney and Pixar flick brought in $62 million, The Numbers reported.
A sequel to 2015’s “Inside Out,” it chronicles a teenager’s journey with four new emotions — Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment, which are all also animated characters in the movie.
The Post called the film “nice, but not as good as the original.”
It is projected to enjoy an up to $100 million domestic opening weekend, which could make it the highest grossing movie of 2024 so far, according to Forbes.
“Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” which was No. 1 at the box office on its opening day last Friday, landed in second, raking in $8.5 million.
The Sony Pictures action comedy, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, brought home $56.5 million last weekend — and chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group Tom Rothman told The Hollywood Reporter it was “the jumpstart we needed” at the summer box office.
“The Garfield Movie” remained in third, with sales of $1.5 million, three weeks after its release.
“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” which was in fifth last Friday, moved up a notch to fourth, with a $1.3 million take.
The supernatural horror “The Watchers,” which was in second place last Friday, its opening day, slid down to fifth place, with earnings of $1.1 million.
