'Inside Out 2' beats 'Dune' to record HIGHEST earnings in Preview shows; eyes $145 million debut weekend
Disney and Pixar's highly anticipated animated sequel Inside Out 2 has set a new benchmark for 2024 box office previews!
The Disney and Pixar animated film grossed $13 million in Thursday previews at the domestic box office. The biggest preview gross of 2024, even topping ‘Dune: Part Two’ which earned $12 million.
The film also earned an additional $22.3 million internationally, thus setting it up for a projected earning between $80 million and $90 million this weekend.
Should the film hit the $90 million mark, it would give 'Inside Out 2' the biggest opening of the year. Warner Bros. currently holds the top two spots of 2024 with 'Dune: Part Two' at $82.5 million and 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' at $80 million.
The animated sequel to the Oscar-winning 2015 hit, reportedly ended its Friday earnings by surpassing the $60 million mark, the second-best opening day for an animated movie after the studio’s 2018 title 'Incredibles 2' at $71.2 million. It also managed to score a win over the first-day collections of last summer's animated hit, 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' which earned an estimated $51.8 million.
According to Deadline, this has set the film up for the third-best opening ever for an animated movie after Incredibles 2 ($182.6 million) and last year’s Super Mario Bros Movie ($146.3 million).
The film could also be on course to record one of the highest earnings of 2024.
