Pixar's Inside Out 2 continued its winning streak at the box office, earning $57.4 million in its third weekend and surpassing $1 billion in global ticket sales in just 19 days. The sequel, directed by Kelsey Mann, introduces new emotions to Riley's story as she navigates adolescence. With a star-studded voice cast led by Amy Poehler, the film faces competition from Despicable Me 4, but remains a strong contender. A Quiet Place: Day One, the franchise's prequel, also performed well, exceeding expectations with a $53 million opening weekend. Despite John Krasinski's absence as director and Emily Blunt's as the lead, the film received positive reviews and a B+ CinemaScore. Meanwhile, Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter One struggled at the box office, raising questions about the future of the costly Western epic. As the summer box office heats up, these films offer a diverse range of choices for audiences.
