Pixar's Joy Returns
Newsweek US
|July 26, 2024
After a string of box office disappointments, is a comeback onthe horizon for the Disney-owned animation studio?
BELOVED ANIMATED MOVIE Inside Out came back with its sequel last month and smashed box office expectations.
Nine years after the original, Pixar's Inside Out 2 raked in $154 million in the U.S. on its opening weekend, making it the second-biggest opening of all time for an animated movie in the domestic market, according to Box Office Mojo.
Those great results beg the question as to whether the movie will help to turn by around the fortunes of animation studio Pixar and its parent company Disney after a string of flops and disappointing financial results.
"Disney has much bigger problems," Alexander Ross, film industry expert at Yale University, told Newsweek.
