Pixar came back with a huge, huge win.
Inside Out 2 exceeded all expectations and delivered the second biggest debut for an animated title domestically. Worldwide, it also managed to break more records for Pixar, debuting with almost $300 million worldwide.
OVERSEAS
MOVIES THAT ENDED THEIR RUN THIS WEEK
THIS WEEKEND
Three newcomers are here, but none stand a chance at taking the top spot from Inside Out 2.
The first is Focus Features' The Bikeriders, the new film by Jeff Nichols. The film stars Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, and Norman Reedus, and follows the lives of the Outlaws MC, a motorcycle club founded in McCook, Illinois. 20th Century Studios was originally the distributor and planned to release it in December 2023, but New Regency later shopped it and sold it to Focus. It has great reviews, although it will be tough to recover its $40 million budget.
The other is Vertical's new horror film The Exorcism, which stars Russell Crowe (no connection to The Pope's Exorcist) as a trouble actor facing supernatural events while shooting a film. Possible sleeper hit?
There's another release, but the distribution plans are unclear as of right now. That one is Searchlight's Kinds of Kindness, the new film by Yorgos Lanthimos. The film stars Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer, and follows three distinct but loosely connected stories. Lanthimos and Stone have hit box office gold, with their collaborations making $95 million and $117 million worldwide. But don't expect a Poor Things run here; the film runs longer, anthology films aren't popular, and reviews are good but not excellent like that film.
