Minions was alright. They're great side characters, but they aren't strong enough to lead a movie by themselves. That's why they had to introduce Scarlet in this. It helped, but it definitely wasn't enough. They really get on your nerves after a bit. Despicable Me did it perfectly, where they were very present, but NOT the center of attention.

Ok, wow. The family just re-watched the original movie because Inside Out 2 is in theaters now. I'll be honest... The first movie hit me so hard in the feels. Ever since becoming a father, I cry at fucking ANYTHING slightly emotional. I guess now that I'm in my 40's with 2 kids, my body has upped its game. I did small tears so many fucking times during this re-watch. It's silly. Oh well... Still gonna take the kids to see the second one.

You won't be massively disappointed. It's a little all over the place because they added a whole new set of emotions when Riley hits puberty and there is a conflict between Riley's little girl emotions and her teenager emotions. I'm not giving anything away, it's basically the first movie but more frantic. You'll still feel for poor Riley by the end. My main critique about IO2 is
That they make her hit puberty but played it safe and didn't actually focus on the physical and hormonal aspects of reaching puberty.

Ok, the kids and I went to see this tonight. I mostly liked it. That anxiety character was pretty annoying. It's great that they had a black voice actress playing her, because it was very much the same "mememe" bullshit we see from them. Yeah, I know. I'm a hurtful bigot, but still. Calm the fuck down.

its a massive hit.


Inside Out 2 is putting on a clinic at the summer box office with back to back blockbuster weekends and a stunning $725 million gross in just 10 days, while Despicable Me 4 and Deadpool & Wolverine wait just around the corner as possible billion-dollar hits as well. But 2024 is still down more than 38% compared to this time last summer, so it’s important to understand what Inside Out 2 confirms about “the new normal” at the box office.

So...the new normal is when they put out good movies, people will pay to see them...but when they put out trash, people won't?

Twisters, Alien: Romulus, the two-part Horizon, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, The Wild Robot, Gladiator 2, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, and Kraven the Hunter are all hoping to score success, but I’m expecting several to underperform or outright flop while most others play at mid-level box office. A couple could break out and play higher, but I don’t think any will be remotely in the same category as the blockbusters we’re used to.


Only Joker: Folie à Deux and Venom: The Last Dance in October, Moana 2 and Wicked in November, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Mufasa: The Lion King in December look close to sure things capable of putting up blockbuster results. But I also think there’s a good chance at least a couple of these will wind up underperforming as well, even if the rest will probably do blockbuster business.

Even better...the first ones will underperform...except for the ones that don't. And the latter ones will be blockbusters...except for the ones that flop. This guy is a genius.

i dont think Beetlejuice2 will flop. it probably wont be a massive hit, but i think it has too much going for it to bomb. Jen Ortega, Tim Burton directing and original cast (sans the boy toucher). it should at least break even.

I went to see it in the giant theater yesterday. The largest screen they had, and me & the kids made up 3/5 of the entire audience. Right as the movie was starting, 2 women walked in.

That happens. Some movies I've seen in the theater were sold out, but they bombed nationally. Other huge hits I saw opening weekend and there wasn't anyone there. I saw Tangled on opening weekend on a Saturday, just me and my dad in there. The AMC near my house never gets crowded cept on nights during the weekends. Matinee showings get very few people. Most people go to the movies as a date night thing.

its over a billion in 19 days. kinda destroys all that talk about people not wanting to go to the movies anymore because of lockdowns and big screen TVs. if you put up something worth seeing, people will go see it.

I think this was good, my kids loved it, it was like most of
These solid kids movies where they had some solid humor for adults. The fucking TV character talking to the audience with the fanny pack was hilarious to any parent who has had to watch that shit.

I agree it’s good they avoided too much of the puberty factor,while bringing on more complex emotions but in typical millenial fashion anxiety is the dominant emotion of the whole film because everyone under 40 thinks they have severe crippling anxiety and ptsd when they are just weak spoiled faggots

if this was made in 1985 it would be envy and embarrassment, what we grew up on before turning every kid into pulled up psychos

Yeah... Envy was huge back then. Embarrassment as well. Good call. Go watch Snack Shack (also from this year). It tells a story were envy and embarrassment the leading roles. You'll like that coming of age story.
