'Inside Out' Opens with $91 Million, Marks the Biggest Opening Weekend for an Original Film

This is probably the most intense weekend at the box office I've ever experienced! With Inside Out and Jurassic World going head-to-head, Inside Out had some stellar competition. Ultimately, though, Inside Out only made it to second place, breaking Pixar's streak of films constantly topping the box office on opening weekend. But that doesn't mean it couldn't break a pretty huge record along the way! Let's take a look at the numbers!

REVIEW: 'Inside Out' is an Inventive, Funny and Heart Wrenching Pixar Masterpiece

After Pixar's 2 year hiatus without any new releases, that glorious Pixar moviemaking magic we haven't seen since 2013's Monsters University has finally made its return to the big screen with their 15th animated feature film, Inside Out. And I am extremely excited to tell you all that Inside Out is a true work of art, with an inventive premise with beautiful storytelling and raw emotion. It changes the way we look at animation, and even ourselves as people! It really shows what this beautiful art form that is animation is capable of, and that is giving us a beautiful, powerful and inventive story with fantastic visuals, world building and set and character design.

Disney and Pixar at Cannes: 'Inside Out' Screening and New Details Released for Upcoming Disney and Pixar Films

2nd Trailer for 'Inside Out' Released

The 2nd trailer for Pixar's next film, Inside Out, has become out just in time before the release of Disney's live-action Cinderella. To me, it was obvious that they would release a trailer for this before Cinderella since that is one of the bigger Disney releases of this year. But while the existence of yet another live-action Cinderella remake has disappointed a lot of animation fans (myself included), this Inside Out trailer certainly does not!

New 'Inside Out' Trailer Released

My Thoughts on the 'Inside Out' Teaser Trailer

Well this certainly caught me by surprise! Pixar released a teaser trailer for Inside Out without any warning. Usually they would do a countdown of a few days before their trailers are released. Either way, I'm really happy to see this teaser trailer finally come out!
