Cmasterclay Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I am very happy that Inside Out 2 is doing well and frankly I think looking at the slate that this year will exceed 8 billion and do better than expectations. To be clear. But to quote Eric, I've never, ever seen a slate this disproportionately NTC heavy. People like the box office for different reasons, I don't think folks have to snap out of their own tastes and desires based on one Disney animated sequel doing great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I think Pixar's comeback is great for box office nerds. Things were looking dire for a while with the direct-to-streaming fiasco. And I'm not sure how any box office nerd doesn't root for Pixar. Yeah they're sequels but some of the greatest movies are sequels (The Dark Knight, The Last Crusade, Empire Strikes Back, T2, Return of the King, Spider-man 2, etc) You can't blame Pixar for going back to sequels. They tried to do originals and got punished for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agafin Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I've just realize that the last time an animated movie topped the domestic BO was 2010 with Toy Story 3. That's much further than I thought. Inside Out has the potential to achieve the same feat. Worldwide, it's Frozen (2013) and inside Out is also well positioned to achieve that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly classier and more respectable than a movie being based on an Instagram feed, I guess. 4 minutes ago, ChipDerby said: No way! Bombs don't make their way into the "culture"! It just doesn't happen! It's not like there's a specific word we created to describe this exact thing. There's a belief that the demise of cable/rise of streaming makes a second life for theatrical underperformers virtually impossible for 2020s movies. I think there are many ways for movies to have a second life and it's not always the movies you would have predicted anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All before Toy Story 5 comes out, of course. That said, I do in fact, resent sequelitis and the audiences that enable it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyJPHer Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) I’m one of those people who actually really really liked Inside Out 2 as a movie and want it to succeed. I genuinely feel it deserves this level of success Edited June 22 by AnthonyJPHer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to do originals and got punished for it. And to further your point, the new strategy of Pixar is to release 03 movies every 2 years: 1 original and 2 sequels. That seems fairly sensible to me in the current moviegoing landscape. You get to have something new every 2 years while having a sequel every year. That's a nice balance between safety and creativity. Every studio should be more like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that I guess there was Shrek 2. The Lion King almost did it but was edged out by the fellow behemoth Forrest Gump in 1994. Re-releases sealed the deal for TLK of course. Not to mention the original Toy Story in 1995... Throw in Aladdin and that's all of them in the modern box office tracking era, because animation was in the gutter in the 1980s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan C Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 God, I wake up late and I come into this forum with all this chaos. Inside Out 2 is just so damn close to hitting that $100M number and I knew Deadline was underestimating how strong Bad Boys: Ride or Die was gonna hold. If it keeps legging out, $200M is looking more and more certain. Hope it happens! It is a shame at what's happening The Bikeriders though. It'll either just barely hit $10M or come in just under that number. It's not really encouraging, but this also was a film I don't think many expected to break out in a big way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I will say though that we should take a moment to appreciate the fact that Luca Guadagnino and Jeff Nichols are enjoying career-best box office grosses in the same year while sharing one element. Note to auteurs looking for ways to reach mainstream-ish crowds: just cast this guy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhuvan Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Any box office nerd or movie lover will be happy with Pixar rise imo , like I understand having differences with WDAS and Illumination but Pixar is literally gold standard. Even their underperforming are good imo. I will always wonder how Soul would have done at box office 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to do originals and got punished for it. Honestly, I do think Pixar has a legitimate chance to make a strong comeback. More so than even the gargantuan numbers for Inside Out 2 right now, the insanely leggy run of Elemental last year shows that they can still make at least a semi-successful original that can break even quickly in post-theatrical revenue streams. Though they have Toy Story 5 coming out in June 2026, they still got Elio in 2025 and another original film before TS5. If there's anything that both Elemental's comeback and Inside Out 2's massive instant success show to Pixar and Disney is that they have a way to make money from both an original and a sequel. It allows them to take risks while also releasing stuff that will guarantee make a profit. Thankfully, Pixar isn't going to be giving up on originals. There's still gonna be sequels, but I expect to see a decent balance of both. Unlike Walt Disney Animation Studios (which will be prioritizing only sequels for the next three years and image was hurt by the reception to films like Wish), they have a chance to build back their image and power as a brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
