It’s happening. #2 animated opening of all time

Who’s in?

Why not. I am in as well. Teaser was very effective. Emotions of a teen is very complex and nuanced. There is tons of potential in it.

In. The original was already at $90,440,272 so with 9 years of inflation and a 3% increase in ticket prices by next summer from 2023 would be at $116.2M OW adjusted.

I'd say this could even by $200M OW. Read these stats:

-Biggest launch of any in the Disney's history, unseating 2019’s Frozen 2 with an astounding 157 million views in just 24 hours.
-TikTok 78M views in 24 hours.

This feels like it's pulling an Incredibles based on this reception. May be my favorite to win the year now as Joker / DP3 R ratings won't be able to pull as many as Inside Out 2 with young 20 somethings particularly nostalgic on the original 9 years earlier.

$600M+ seems like it could happen if the quality is there.

Yes, I think it has shot up to be the No.1 contender for the yearly crown. Seems to be an Incredibles 2 Redux.

The Incredibles 2 adjusted OW will be at $216.8M. That was with a 14 year gap between films.

I think Inside Out 2 having a 9 year gap is definitely more advantageous.

Given that the trailer and TikTok views are surpassing even Frozen 2 and breaking records for Disney, Inside Out 2 seems all but assured to get to #2 OW ever for Pixar passing Finding Dory's $135.1M.

It will need $182.7M to beat Incredibles 2 unadjusted. The hype certainly feels there.

I think another of those endearing sequels that would also pop for Pixar is Up 2. People seem to love that one! It's also Pixar's biggest movie after Inside Out 2 comes out that won't yet have a sequel.

Nothing is guaranteed with Disney anymore
I'd be happy with just a $75m opening

Lol this is probably their strongest film in their whole upcoming slate. It's a very wanted sequel to a truly beloved smash hit film. Trailer already breaking records.

In easily

So at CinemaCon Disney is showing a whopping 35 min of Inside Out. The first film was 1 hr 35 min.

This seems to reflect a huge show of confidence to show possibly 1/3 to 1/4 of an entire film!

Feels like a positive sign for it and hoping for an Incredibles 2 type jump.

Or the quality is there but need to increase buzz/awareness following Elemental's run and Pixar's brand tarnishing post Covid. Hopeful of it being a good sign but feels like showing 35 min of a movie is pretty big.

Out. Legs, sure, but not such a huge opening.

*UPDATE*

I'd be happy with just a $100m opening

This very well may play as a cross demo event film now to an even greater extent. BB4 is rated R so literally everyone else needs a movie to see and Inside Out 2 has the perfect release date. It's almost the exact opposite of Elemental's situation which had weekend 3 of Spider-verse, weekend 2 of Transformers, and 4 for Mermaid and against The Flash with IJ4 a week later. The chance of this club happening statistically is greatly favored by May's wash out.

I still think Pixar trained too many people to watch at home

I think it will open very big and if its as good as the first then win the summer.
