We said last week, when the Spanish box office obtained the worst data in more than a decade, that ‘Inside Out 2’ stood as the great savior of cinema at a national and international level, and what if she has been. At levels unexpected even by the most optimistic, too.
The animated sequel directed by Kelsey Mann has taken to the cinema only during the weekend of June 21 to 23 to 918,295 spectatorswhat translates into a collection of 6.7 million euros and a spectacular average per screen of €5,823. To highlight what has been achieved, two pieces of information collected by Comscore:
- The total collection for the weekend has been 7.99 million euros (the best of the year) with 1,093,219 spectators. That is to say, 84% of income and viewers are from ‘Inside Out 2’.
- The top 20 raised 2.34 million in total last weekend, almost three times less than just ‘Inside Out 2’.
I think there is no need to say anything more about it. ‘Inside Out 2’ is achieving numbers in its premiere that we have not seen in Spain since December 2022, when ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ made 7.53 million euros. This means that His debut is better, and not by a little, than the great phenomenon of 2023, ‘Barbie’which achieved 5.15 million in its first week.
With the 6.7 million of the weekend, The total number of ‘Inside Out 2’ has already reached 11.56 million. In case the math doesn’t add up, since this is its first weekend in theaters, it is worth remembering that the film actually premiered on Wednesday, June 19, and that a few days before there had been several special previews in theaters.
As we mentioned before, Riley’s emotions have knocked out his rivals on the undercard, especially those animated or family-themed titles such as ‘Imaginary Friends’ (72% drop, with €57,995) and ‘Garfield: The Movie’ (68% drop, with €56,134). However, it helps them to be sixth and seventh in the ranking, respectively, surpassing the only premiere that sneaks into the top 10, ‘Memory’, with €54,570.
Ahead of these three we have ‘Perfect Lives’ in fifth place, which In its second week it raises €72,485, with a decrease of 53% and 337,271 euros accumulated. In fourth position we find ‘The Watchers’, a film by Ishana Shyamalan that obtains €75,013 which brings him closer to a million in total (€804,665).
The third most viewed film of the weekend is already a classic on the billboard, ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’. It was released 7 weeks ago, but Wes Ball’s film remains in the top positions, raising this time €83,184. Their total is 6.86 million, so the goal of 7 million seems possible.
The silver medal goes to the only film except the reverse capable of exceeding 100,000 euros in collection, ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’. The new adventures of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence remain strong despite the competition, with €497,373 and a decrease of 44% in its third week. The film has already achieved a remarkable 4.34 million in Spain.
Silence, Emma Stone arrives
Although it is most likely that ‘Inside Out 2’ will continue as number 1 next weekend, will have tough rivals to face, from ‘A Quiet Place: Day 1’, the prequel to ‘A Quiet Place’; to ‘Kinds of Kindness’, the new release by Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone.
Apart from these two titles, we also find interesting proposals such as the Spanish ‘House on Fire’, Kevin Costner’s western ‘Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1’, ‘Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram’, ‘Invasion ‘, ‘Shayda’, ‘Big Boys’, ‘On the Go’, ‘Third Week’, ‘Everyone’s Friend’ and ‘Rehana’.
