Also as some have mentioned there's a big "Heatwave" going on in the Midwest and Eastcoast.   Could have been a factor though sitting in an AC in the Theater to cool off would be an option.

Hmm, a Monday~ 1M short of expectstions? Guess I’ll have to revise from 700 to 699. RIP BP dreams 🤪

What are your projections through July 4th if I may ask?

[Migs20242]

Leaning towards 650-750 million domestic run for Inside Out 2.

[Cheddar Please]

I will say I don't think people realize just how high this movies post OW is so far, as a comparison here are some other comps post OW total through Day 11:

 

NWH: 235M

IO2: 215.52M

BP1: 209.71M

Barb: 204.4M

TGM: 181.36M

I2: 177.52M

A2: 159.19M

A1: 155.1M

 

Still think 700m will be contingent on strong holds in the coming 2 weeks, current range is looking closer to 650-680m but hopefully will start seeing more overperformances in the coming days

Inside Out 2 will reach $500 million domestic on or before July 4.

Can we all agree IO2 is locked to take the animation crown from Incredibles 2?

 

Anything extra is icing on the cake.

And it will take the WW crown from Frozen II

Yes it is happening by mid-July

[Darth Lehnsherr]

I do enjoy the surprise we get now every summer with what grosses $600M+ DOM. I'm sure something will next summer even though I'm not sure what can.

Even if box office nerds collectively and justifiably ignore The Lion King, IO2 taking the WW crown won't be official unless it beats TLK, right?

OK beating TLK 2019's $1.663 billion might be a little hard, but... maybe?

No because only box office nerds collectively consider TLK 2019 to be an animated film

Beating F2 is all you need to officially take the WW crown since TLK officially isn’t on the animation records category

[Insomnia]

Yeah TLK19 isn't an animated movie. Sure it's all done on a computer but it's intended to be photo realistic. If human characters were in the original Lion King story, they would have been played by real people in the live action.

 

Frozen II to me is the biggest animated film of all time.

[Migs20242]

What's interesting is that Inside Out 2 2nd Monday was ahead of Top Gun: Maverick, which has $12.4 million on 2nd Monday.

[Migs20242]

255+157=$412 million

 

So if Inside Out 2 finishes around $410-415 million at the end of the 2nd week, the 3rd weekend should go 65-75 million, which would give IO2 $475-485 million.

Correct, don't think any normies would categorize it that way.

[keysersoze123]

[Migs20242]

expect $15-17 million for IO2 2nd Tuesday box office numbers.
