‘Inside Out 2’ Shatters Box Office Expectations With $155 Million, Biggest Debut Since ‘Barbie’
"Inside Out 2" scored the biggest opening weekend of the year.
Pixar chief Pete Docter, who directed 2015’s “Inside Out,” maintained that COVID-era strategy “trained” audiences to watch the studio’s movies at home — hence the comparatively less-embraced theatrical releases of 2022’s “Lightyear” and 2023’s “Elemental.” Critics and audiences were charmed by “Inside Out 2,” which arrived nearly ten years after the original adventure about the inner feelings — including Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith) and Anger (Lewis Black) — of a young girl named Riley. The sequel, directed by Kelsey Mann in his feature debut, revisits a teenaged Riley, who discovers new emotions of Anxiety (Maya Hawke), Envy (Ayo Edebiri), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) and Nostalgia (June Squibb) as she heads to summer camp.
