Disney Animates the Box Office, “Inside Out 2” Has Stunning $13 Million Preview Night

Share

“Inside Out 2” is going to save the movie business.

Last night, Disney’s sequel to the hit “Inside Out” scored $13 million in previews. The weekend looks insanely good as Disney could hit $75 million for an opening weekend.

The Mouse House hasn’t had a hit in a long time, certainly not an animated one. Also, with Marvel in a lull, Disney’s run as box office king has been diminished greatly.

But the first “Inside Out” won the Oscar in 2016 for Best Animated Feature, and was a financial hit as well. Preview night in 2015 brought in $3.7 million and total weekend take was $90 million. Nothing like a good IP to brighten the box office.
