‘Inside Out 2' jolts a sleepy summer box office

Disney’s latest animated film, ‘Inside Out 2,’ has had a successful opening weekend at the box office. It became the first movie of 2024 to reach $100 million in domestic sales during its opening weekend. Estimates predict that it will earn around $155 million for the weekend. ‘Inside Out 2’ is now the second-highest-grossing domestic animated three-day opening in history, trailing only behind ‘Incredibles 2.’ The film’s performance has been beyond expectations and marks a turning point for Disney and the domestic box office, which has been sluggish this summer.
