The
movie had previously generated about $155 million in U.S. and
Canadian ticket sales over its first weekend, according to
estimates.
The last two Pixar releases, "Elemental" and "Lightyear," had
mediocre ticket sales. Three prior Pixar films were sent
straight to streaming during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The results could prove to be a boost for theater owners, who
have fewer movies to show this year because of delays caused by
strikes in Hollywood last year.
"Inside Out 2" is a sequel to the 2015 hit about the inner
workings of a young girl's mind. In the second installment, lead
character Riley has become a teenager and is grappling with new
emotions including anxiety and envy.
The original "Inside Out" opened with about $90 million in its
first weekend in the summer of 2015.
