variety.comJ. Kim Murphy Up against two new wide releases, Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” is looking to lead the domestic box office once again.
The Disney release added another $17.1 million on Friday, down just 43% from its $30.5 million haul a week ago.Any three-day gross north of $53 million will have it rank among the ten biggest third weekends for a domestic release in box office history.
It seems primed to land somewhere around seventh to tenth, with that range currently occupied by “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ($59.9 million), “Spider-Man: No Way Home” ($56 million), “The Avengers” ($55.6 million) and “Jurassic World” ($54.5 million).
The North American total for “Inside Out 2” should get past $468 million through Sunday. The billion-dollar global milestone is coming up fast; it’ll be the first of the calendar year and the first since “Barbie.” “A Quiet Place: Day One” will likely land in second, but it’s outperforming its tracking and will get closer to “Inside Out 2” than predicted.
