You are confused about the cause of Hollywood's decline in ticket sales. Label your false ideas as 1-2-3. 1) Biden is to blame. 2) Wokeness is to blame. (Less wokeness equals higher ticket sales. Inside Out 2 is the least woke of the cartoons) 3) Trump is the solution to the decline because Biden destroyed the American economy, impoverishing movie patrons all over the world. Therefore ticket sales must drop, but Trump will fix it.

I think Hollywood's decline is technological. 1) Hollywood movies have always been crappy, but audiences are only now slowly beginning to sense that because they now have thousands of past examples immediately available on TV to compare with present day Hollywood output. Audiences are waking up to the fact that the movies have always been worthless crap, going back to the days of silent movies. 2) Whatever is best at the theaters will very soon be available for free from a streaming service or a pirate. 3) Audiences sense that it makes no sense (unless you are child or teenager) to pay high prices and travel beyond your own neighborhood to see this crap. Instead, wait for that movie to come to 4K TV at your house. When it arrives, 8K TV will make ticket sales decrease even more.

This might actually pull in something like $300 Million+ worldwide when the legit numbers are in on Monday.


Not only might will this be the best performing Disney movie since Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 early last year, but it might be more successful than anything they put out in 2023, period.

It IS the first non-woke movie Disney's made in over a year, so they do have that going for them. Probably not a great idea to put in your face anxiety issues in the heads of 5 year old kids though. I don't think they've got any shortage of that in today's world without Disney/Pixar needing to push the issue further.



Don't have the final numbers in yet, but here's the projections...

Domestic: $155 Million
International: $140 Million
Worldwide: $295 Million

If you overlook the inflation adjustment, only $555,000,000 separates the two movies.

Worldwide Box Office $295,000,000 $850,566,343

The inflation adjustment is $1.00 in 2015 (when the first cartoon arrived) equals $1.33 in 2024.

Inside Out 2 (2024) will have to sell $1,100,000,000 worth of tickets to match Inside Out (2015) $850,000,000 worth of tickets.

It might...

Per Bruce at The-Numbers...

Inside Out 2 is blasting past expectations and headed towards a $155-million opening, according to Disney’s Sunday-morning announcement. That’s comfortably more than the $146.4 million The Super Mario Bros. Movie made on its opening weekend last year, and second only to Incredibles 2 on the list of biggest opening weekends for animated movies. The Incredibles sequel opened with $182.7 million back in 2018. Mario ended its domestic run with almost $575 million, and Incredibles 2 finished its run with $608.6 million. With stellar reviews, Inside Out 2 seems like a lock for $500 million, and $600 million at the domestic box office seems within reach.


If it hits $600 Million in the US, it almost assuredly makes $1.1 Billion worldwide. The only thing it has working against it is that the ratio of Domestic to International so far is 52.5%/47.5%, while the first movie ended with 41.9%/58.1%. Otherwise, $500 Million in the US would have easily got it past that number.

But regarding that...

Disney are claiming the highest international and global animated opening of all time “assuming the same international release pattern and at current rates.”

No news on actual international numbers, but the US numbers actually dipped when the real numbers came in.

US: $154,201,673
International: $140,000,000
Worldwide Box Office: $294,201,673

I was really hoping that they'd both get bumped up to make my $300 Million+ worldwide prediction come true.

I wonder why they lowballed the US prediction here. I called it last year when they pulled that on purpose to spare additional headline embarrassment with both The Marvels and Wish, but really it's so out of the ordinary to ever see this happen, especially with a successful movie.

It's still possible it climbs over $300 after the internationals come in since there tends to be a lot more variance there.



However, I was right about this part.

Worldwide opening for Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 got $289.3 Million worldwide on opening weekend.

Unless this movie unexpectedly tanks before Despicable Me 4 comes out on July 3rd, I think it will end up more successful than anything Disney put out last year.

During show-and-tell at school, four minutes into the movie there is this immortally woke line: "Did you know that change in your couch could change the world?" Then the glass jar of quarters, dimes, nickles, pennies is dropped. Everyone laughs at the mess, except the mortified little girl and Riley, the main character. Then they bond while picking up coins. Then an African American girl also helps pick up the coins and they bond. More wokeness. So wholesome. But where are the car crashes? Where are the explosions? Where are the murderous villains forcing children into sex-slavery? (A reference to "Sound of Freedom" [2023]) Where is THE BLOOD?

The super profitable movie Sound of Freedom Production Budget: $14,500,000 (worldwide box office is 17.3 times production budget). Why aren't Disney movies more profitable? Because of wokeness! Because of Joe Biden! Only Trump can fix it and save America from wokeness and the climate change hoax! Don't let Disney and Biden* take away our guns and freedom!

Your scenario you mention here from the movie doesn't sound woke to me.

Maybe you think it's woke because you're a racist?

1/3rd of a Billion worldwide in 4 days.

It's still $167 Million shy of breaking even, but with another $22 Million in the bank on Monday with probably over $30 Million today, there is no question this is going to break even and make Disney a lot of money.

I think the most unfortunate thing is that it will be a success despite the obscene budget. Hopefully the studios, including Disney, will still realize what a gamble it is going forward to have these $200 Million+ budgets going forward and seriously pare them back.

Oh... BTW.... I just noticed this.

Disney severely lowballed the international numbers. It was actually $157.4 Million. Not $140 Million.

This means that the Worldwide Total for Opening weekend was $311,601,673.

Inside Out 2 is now 8th place in the 2024 Worldwide Top 100, and was after only 3 days.

It will pass Article 20 (China) tomorrow for 7th place, and it will take 6th place from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes on Wednesday, it's 6th day in theaters.


When Internationals come in on Monday the 24th, it will be 2nd place for 2024. Probably somewhere in the general area of only $80 Million behind Dune: Part Two for 1st place.

It will then take 1st place on Friday the 28th.

(The fact we won't get internationals for Friday as they happen, this might not be reflected until the US numbers come in for Saturday the 29th).

I realize these are pretty bold predictions, but I do believe they'll come to be the truth.

I had figured this on IO2 making $30 Million on Cheap Seat Tuesday compared to the $22.4 Million it made on Monday. It didn't quite make it there, but projections now are showing $29.1 Million for Tuesday. Close enough.

The first two predictions were easy and already came true. IO2 is now 6th place for 2024, displacing Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes by around $4.5 Million. It has made $379,972,881 worldwide in 5 days.

Its next two steps up the ladder are the Chinese movies Pegasus 2 ($469,847,217 / 5th place) and YOLO ($479,597,304 / 4th place).


I'm expecting another $150 Million to $175 Million internationally alone, come Monday, so without the weekend even starting it's already leapfrogged over both of them. It's still going to make at least $40 Million more in the US on Wednesday and Thursday before the weekend begins, putting it right around $420 Million before any weekend numbers get added.

We're looking at anywhere between another $270 Million to $315 Million additional, including Wednesday/Thursday's US Box Office numbers with the worldwide 2nd weekend numbers we'll have on Monday.

Kung Fu Panda 4 is in 3rd place with $543,787,134.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is in 2nd place with $551,776,697.

Even with the low end of my predictions, we're looking at a nice round $650 Million for IO2 on Monday. This would be nearly $100 Million more than Godzilla x Kong pulled in. But it could be sitting at as much as $695 Million or even possibly break $700 Million by then.

All that's left then is Dune: Part 2 with $711,193,558.

Depending on how well it does this weekend, that might be the only thing I got wrong about this prediction and it ends up taking 1st place even before Friday the 28th. I think my numbers are sound and that's what I'm going to stick with, but if IO2 has a great 2nd weekend it could take 1st place for 2024 long before Friday the 28th. We could very well wake up on the morning of Tuesday the 25th and find that Inside Out 2 is already 1st place for 2024, after only 12 days in theaters.
