Disney/Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” is finally delivering the box office the sort of numbers expected from the summer, earning a2024-best $13 million from Thursday preview screenings,.
That tops the previous annual high of $12 million earned by “Dune: Part Two” in March and is more than triple the $3.7 million that the first “Inside Out” earned from Thursday preview screenings back in 2015 en route to a $90 million opening weekend.
While it is important to note that such screenings have become more widespread and numerous at theaters nationwide over the past nine years, exhibition sources tell TheWrap they believe “Inside Out 2” now has a very strong chance of beating its predecessor — tracking has the film matching the $90 million start — and becoming the first $100 million-plus opening since “Barbie” 11 months ago.
