81st biggest opening between Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (close to Spider-Man 3, Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Dark Knight and Avatar: The Way of Water)
27th biggest Disney opening between Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Avatar: The Way of Water (close to Thor: Love and Thunder, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Alice In Wonderland and The Jungle Book)

49th widest opening 685 cinemas close to I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Ticket To Paradise, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical, Where The Crawdads Sing and Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness; 217th 600+ opener since 2015’s Jurassic World; but as with all these films it might open in 685 cinemas it was playing in 1,500+ screen included almost all IMAX/PLF/3D/ScreenX/4DX/Dolby screens.
10th biggest animation opening (5th biggest Fri-Sun opening) between Minions and Despicable Me 3 (close to Despicable Me 2, The Simpsons, Sing and Ice Age II) and the 20th inflated animated opening between Despicable Me 3 and Ice Age III (close to Finding Nemo, Shrek Forever After, The Lego Movie and Up)

3rd biggest Pixar opening after Toy Story 3 (£21,187,264/£11,493,824 Fri-Sun) and Toy Story 4 (£13,300,000) ahead of Incredibles (£9,753,035) and Incredibles 2 (£9,650,000)
Movio research said 23% of the audience hadn’t been to the cinema for over 6 months. (Wonka was probably the last they saw in the cinema) they will be back to see Despicable Me 4 in a month, and then will it be Paddington in Peru in November?
64% were infrequent cinemagoers Vs Element 48%; 11% were occasional Vs 26% Elemental; 12% frequent Vs frequent 21% Elemental and 3% very frequent Vs 5% Elemental.
With cinemagoers aged 12-17 26% and 35-44 27% and 66% female, the audience was likely made up of children with mums surprisingly given that Riley is dealing with being a teenager the audience was younger than Elemental. While made regular cinemagoers who saw Inside out also recently saw IF or The Garfield Movie.
2010’s Toy Story 3 opened 173.03% more than 2000’s Toy Story 2; (included 39.7m previews)
2018’s Incredibles 2 opened 1.1% less than 2004’s Incredibles (included £3.5m previews)
2016’s Finding Dory opened 10% more than 2003’s Finding Nemo
2011’s Cars 2 opened 33% more than 2006’s Cars
2024’s Inside Out 2 opened 53.5% more than 2015’s Inside Out
2013’s Monsters University opened 62.3% less than 2002’s Monsters Inc
With big gaps between many of them, it is impossible to make direct comparisons. Monsters University opened far less than Monsters Inc. due to a heatwave over the opening weekend but had very long legs staying in the top 10 for 9 weeks despite having competition from Despicable Me 2 opened two weeks earlier.
Inside Out 2 benefited from a cold wet weekend and Father’s Day along with no competition and doesn’t face any competition until Despicable Me 4 in three weeks.
The 25 Pixar films have taken Over £740m in the UK BO since Toy Story in 1996 and almost £1.1bn inflated.
Inside Out 2 was announced at D23 in September 2022; the teaser trailer released in November 2023 was viewed 157m+ times in the first 24 hours across social media (including 78m times on TikTok) becoming the most-watched Disney animated launch trailer overtaking Frozen 2. The second trailer was released in March. The first 35 mins was shown at CinemaCon in April.
While many complain about the lack of original films audiences still flock to cinemas like Lemmings to see sequels that are often inferior to the original. Inside Out 2 shares a lot in common with the original film with the new Riley experiencing new emotions that see the older emotions being locked away. The difference with Inside Out 2 is that it plays to tweens and teen girls who share many of those thoughts Riley experiences. While Pixar is a film adults won’t mind seeing with children apart from when the adults tear up.
Inside Out 2 will take £1m+ daily Mon- Thurs before taking £6.5m-£8m in its second weekend down 30%-40% depending on if the weather warms up. It has the market to itself for four weeks until Despicable Me 4.
Took £1.21m on Monday similar to Toy Story 3 £1.41m and Incredibles 2 £1.56m both opened a week ahead of the summer school holidays; on Tuesday Toy Story took £1.61m/Incredibles 2 £1.61m; Wednesday Toy Story 3 £1.36m/Incredibles 2 £1.55m; Thursday Toy Story 3 £943k/Incredibles 2 £1.22m.
After the strong opening of Inside Out 2 Pixar will surely announce a third film for release in 2027/28 but being likely about Riley’s college years can that still be a U certificate?

Many were surprised when Bill Murray was cast to voice Garfield in the 20th Century Fox films as he mistakenly believed Joel Coen was the director (Coen Brothers) it was directed by Joel Cohen who wrote the screenplay for Toy Story.
In the Sony version, Chris Pratt voices Garfield, it’s the fourth major animated character he has voiced over the last decade after Emmet in 2014’s The Lego Movie, Barley Lightfoot in Onward and Mario in The Super Mario Bros Movie.
This version has very little to do with Garfield from the comic strip but more with the animated films 2015’s Pixels dropped 41% £394,154 #6 and £7,575,970 of £8,334,036 and 2017’s The Emoji Movie dropped 34% £682,694 #5 and £10,534,953 of £14,612,815 as the marketing campaign overshadowing the film with so many product placements.

US Box Office
- Inside Out 2 – Disney
Opened $154.2m; received positive reviews (92% Rotten Tomatoes) and A CinemaScore
Took $13m from Thursday midnights; Incredibles 2 $18.5m; Toy Story 4 $12m; Finding Dory $9.2m; Lightyear $5.2m; Toy Story 3 $4m; Inside Out $3.7m; Cars 3 $2.8m; Onward $2.65m.
Ahead of opening Inside Out 2 was tracking to open with $80m+ but this was always a lowball estimate as often happened with Disney films before the pandemic with their films open with $20m+ more.
As Finding Dory and other Pixar sequels opened much bigger than the original films Inside Out 2 was always going to open much bigger than Inside Out $90.4m despite the industry predicting $85m+ opening.
25th biggest opening between Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Captain Marvel (close to The Dark Knight, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and The Super Mario Bros. Movie).
EntTelligence reported 12m admissions the highest admissions for a single film since Barbie’s 13M. The average price $12.53 and $10.36 for children; 22% before 1 pm; 35% between 1 pm to 5pm; 26% between 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and 17% after 8 p.m.
IMAX/PLF took 43% and 3D 14%; took $11m US from IMAX and $3.5m internationally.
52% of the audience were Disney+ subscribers; 44% Hulu; 43% Prime Video and 66% Netflix.
Inside Out 2 has a 100-day window despite this it will take about 75% of BO within 21 days and 85%+ after 45 days as Despicable Me 4 opens in less than a month.
The one thing not mentioned about Inside Out 2 opening is why tracking was so poor as it was tracking at $90m+, is it tracking doesn’t consider IMAX/PLF/3D taking about 60% and pushing the average up from $10.87 to $12.53?

UK Box Office Top 10
UK Box Office Preview
With no major releases, the biggest competition this weekend for Inside Out 2 could be the sun finally making an appearance this summer. Inside Out 2 will drop between 30%-40% taking £6.5m-£8m and will have taken about £23m by Sunday.
Presales look strong for Doctor Who – The Two Episode Finale (Empire Of Death) showing in cinemas for one show on Friday at 11pm. With Event Cinema surcharges it could open #2 over a quiet weekend of new releases. It has a 2-hour running time, but it has two episodes the first was broadcast on BBC1 last Saturday. What I find crazy is Everyman cinemas are doing free screenings for England’s European Championship matches but tickets are £27.75 for Doctor Who.
The other new releases including The Bikeriders are likely to struggle to find an audience especially if temperatures warm up as expected.
Opening in two weeks
- Despicable Me 4 – Universal Pictures
Animated comedy sequel to 2017’s Despicable Me 3 and the sixth film of the film series from Illumination featuring voices of Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Pierre Coffin, Joey King, Miranda Cosgrove, Stephen Colbert, Steve Coogan, Sofía Vergara and Will Ferrell and directed by Chris Renaud and Patrick Delage.
Development started soon after the release of Despicable Me 3 and was confirmed in 2022. The first trailer was released in January, the second in May featuring one of Pharrell Williams’ new original songs featured in the film. In June they released a parody multi-verse trailer with Steve Carell saying Illumination would release 100 years’ worth of films, television series, and stage productions starring the Mega Minions including Mega Minions: The Tax Write-Off and an untitled Mega Minions spin-off series spoofing the cancellation of Warner Bros. films like Batgirl and Coyote vs. Acme.
This isn’t new as 10 years ago, over the end credits of 22 Jump Street Sony Pictures teased a slate of future films and before the start of 2008’s Tropic Thunder teased upcoming trailers including Scorcher VI: Global Meltdown.
2022’s Minions: The Rise of Gru opened £10,424,758; £2.7m Fri £4.2m on Sat (up 55%) and £3.52m on Sun; 7.05% from 3D £729,432 from 142 screens Vs 28% of Minions BO coming from 3D in 2015
2017’s Despicable Me 3 opened £11,154,904 taking £47,562,575
2015’s Minions opened £11,556,856 (3D took £3,194,166) taking £47,091,449
2013’s Despicable Me 2 opened £14,822,427 (£4,868,323 previews 33%) taking £46,815,412
2010’s Despicable Me opened £3,664,376 taking £19,750,505
The 14 Illumination Entertainment films have taken almost £445m (£485m inflated) since the first Despicable Me opened in 2010; upcoming Super Mario Bros 2 April 2026 and then surely Minions 3 and Despicable Me 5 to come.
After Inside Out 2 opened with £11,321,387 Despicable Me 4 should open similarly to Despicable Me 3 despite receiving mixed reviews as the fans of these films don’t read reviews.
- Fly Me To The Moon – Sony Pictures
Comedy drama starring Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, Nick Dillenburg, Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, Colin Woodell, Christian Zuber, Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson and directed by Greg Berlanti.
Despite Scarlett Johansson’s films taking over $15bn worldwide the 8 MCU films and The Jungle Book have inflated the BO, but she wasn’t the reason why most people saw them.
2017’s Rough Night was her last non-tentpole leading film but that opened £244,462 #11 from 378 screens
Fly Me To The Moon is the second of three films to date Sony Pictures have acquired theatrical rights from Apple after Napoleon was released last November and Wolfs (September). Apple is making the actor lead big budget tentpole films studios used to make regularly over a decade ago, but now they are counterprogramming to tentpoles.
Sony screened Fly Me To The Moon at CineEurope this week
Space dramas have had mixed success over recent years but while the film might be set around the Moon Landings
It could be part of an Apollo-extended universe following Hidden Figures and a prequel to First Man and Apollo 13, but they were films about space from the trailers Fly Me To The Moon looks like it’s an old-fashioned rom-com set around the Moon Landings.
- The Commandants Shadow – Warner Bros
Documentary directed and produced by Daniela Völker about Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, an Auschwitz survivor who meets face-to-face with Jurgen Höss decades later.
It has been compared to the 2024 film The Zone of Interest (opened £585,855 106 screens taking £3,436,903) acquired by Warner Bros in April had a limited release in US cinemas in May and has a limited release in UK cinemas in July.
