“Inside Out 2” has turned the box office inside out.
Disney’s Pixar sequel made $100 million this weekend. It’s now the highest grossing film of 2024, beating “Dune Two.”
Total US box office is now around $355 million. At this rate, $500 million is around the corner.
Audiences are going back and back to see the sequel to “Inside Out.” Everyone loves it, and there’s no sign of it slowing down.
“Inside Out 2” is good for movie theater business. Snacks are being sold, there’s foot traffic.
Meanwhile, “The Bikeriders” made $10 million in its debut. But the wheels may come off these bikes. Each day — Friday, Saturday, Sunday — showed a diminishing return. Beautifully made, but plot deprived, “Bikeriders” is perplexing to audiences. Who do you root for, and why? I didn’t get it. But I did love Tom Hardy’s performance.
“Thelma” opened nicely with $2.2 million for Magnolia. There are Best Actress and Screenplay noms lurking. June Squibb, age 93, is just lovely. Go see it, it’s a crowd pleaser.
