Disney and Pixar's highly anticipated sequel, "Inside Out 2," shattered box office expectations over the weekend, raking in a whopping $155 million in the U.S. and Canada alone. With rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, the film's success comes as a much-needed boost for Pixar after a series of underwhelming releases. The movie's diverse appeal across ages and demographics signals a return to form for the studio, as well as a positive sign for the struggling theatrical exhibition industry. Aside from its record-breaking domestic debut, "Inside Out 2" also made an impressive $140 million in international markets, bringing its global total to an astounding $295 million. The strong showing at the box office not only reflects the film's quality but also serves as a beacon of hope for the industry as it continues to recover from the impact of the pandemic. With a promising lineup of upcoming releases, including the highly anticipated "Deadpool & Wolverine," the success of "Inside Out 2" sets a positive tone for the summer movie season and beyond.
