Box Office: “Inside Out 2” Hits $300 Mil Today, “Bikeriders” Revs Up $4 Mil Opening

Share

“Inside Out 2” is a phenom!

Total through last night is $285 mil after a $30 mil Friday. Wow. Today they way over $300 million.

Everyone loves this movie. Theaters are buzzing. Popcorn is popping. Oscar for Best Animated Feature is a certainty– maybe a Best Picture nomination because it’s a soft Oscar year.

“Bikeriders” came up with $4 million from Thursday and Friday. But the Cinemascore is a B, which means people leaving those theaters were not ecstatic. I don’t blame them. Word of mouth will not be so great. The movie is a let down. But it’s hot outside, it’s cold in the theater, and “Bikeriders” looks good on paper.

Disney had another release besides “Inside Out 2.” The nearly three hour “Kinds of Kindness” opened in five theaters and made $179,000 on Friday, An earlier release in Italy has already brought in $975,000. It’s in limited release here, so we won’t see it for some time. Watch “Poor Things” at home while you’re waiting.
