The Pixar animated film far surpassed what it raised ‘Dune: Part 2’ ($82.5 million) and “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” ($80 million) at its premiere.
This accumulation represents a great relief for the company after the box office failure of ‘Lightyear’ and the lukewarm reception of ‘Elements’.
But its success does not stop there because since the premiere of ‘Barbie’ (162 million dollars)no film had surpassed 100 million dollars in its first week of release.
The international box office was not far behind as it managed to raise 140 million dollars, surpassing the record that ‘Frozen 2’ had set with 135 million dollars.
With this figure, the Pixar animated film totaled 295 million dollarsthus recovering the 200 million dollars that its production cost.
With this success it is clear that audiences are still excited to see Pixar movies on the big screen after Disney made the decision to release ‘Soul’, ‘Luca’ and ‘Turning Red’ directly on streaming due to the pandemic and which did not allow good collections.
Latin America was not left behind, since in countries like Colombia, ‘Intensa-Mente 2’ was positioned as the second best premiere in the history of that country, only behind ‘Avengers: EndGame’, surpassing one million viewers in one weekend.
With its debut in theaters, ‘Inside Out 2’ becomes the second best premiere in Pixar historybehind ‘Finding Dory’, and has already surpassed the premieres of ‘Toy Story 4’ and ‘The Incredibles 2’.
