Pixar's highly anticipated sequel, "Inside Out 2," is set to bring back the joy to the box office with an estimated opening of $80 million to $90 million. Following a series of underperforming releases, including "Elemental" and "Lightyear," the animation powerhouse is looking to reclaim its throne as the gold standard of family films. The film, directed by Kelsey Mann, explores new emotions like Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Nostalgia, as young Riley navigates through puberty. With its predecessor's massive success, earning $356 million in North America and $858.8 million globally, "Inside Out 2" is expected to recapture that magic and dominate the box office. Exhibitors are optimistic about the film's potential, banking on its humor and charm to resonate with audiences worldwide. As Pixar aims to bounce back from the pandemic and recent setbacks, the future looks bright for "Inside Out 2" to bring back the joy that has been missing for years.
