Inside-Out-2-Riley-Joy
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Inside Out 2 has enjoyed a record-shattering $295 million opening weekend at the box office – but exactly how did the Pixar sequel become so ludicrously successful? With the disappointing commercial performance of Lightyear and Elemental, Pixar has stumbled in the past couple of years. The studio used to be known as a hit factory, delivering one of the greatest animated movies ever made every single year.
As a colorful animated adventure, Inside Out 2 has very strong family appeal. But it’s also a rare movie that goes beyond that, because of when the first one released. In the near-decade since the original movie, some fans of the original will have started their own families. Others will be older and go to the theater independently.
It’s not unheard of for a poorly received movie to do well at the box office, from Suicide Squad to a handful of Transformers sequels, but positive reviews certainly come in handy. Anyone who’s on the fence about watching Inside Out 2 will probably be convinced to check it out when they see the widespread acclaim. And anyone who has seen it will likely recommend it to their friends, because it’s a fantastic movie.
In a world rocked by a pandemic and defined by social media doomscrolling, anxiety has become a major struggle for a lot of people around the globe. Inside Out 2 completely understands that struggle and visualizes it in a profoundly relatable way. Part of the sequel’s success can be attributed to this poignant commentary on a universal struggle.
The same goes for this year. Kung Fu Panda 4 was a hit, The Garfield Movie had a respectable gross , and even IF, which is a hybrid of live-action and animation, has done better than most. Inside Out 2 has capitalized on the animation market.
