Inside Out 2 Advanced Ticket Sales Are Pixar’s Highest Since Toy Story 4

The upcoming Inside Out 2 is perhaps Pixar’s most anticipated film since the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the studio’s films either underperformed at the box office or were released directly to streaming. But now, with the return to the world of living emotions, audiences seem excited for a Pixar movie again.

This new adventure sees our previous cast of emotions outed by a new group of rogue emotions, who appear as Reily enters her teenage phase. It is up to Joy and the rest of the old crew to find a balance between the old and new and make Reily emotionally stable once more. 



Now, after months of hyping up the film for audiences, the movie already seems to be drawing big numbers. According to online ticket distributor Fandango, the movie has surpassed the record of advanced ticket sales set by the 2015 original. In fact, the sales for Inside Out 2 are apparently the highest for a Pixar release since Toy Story 4 in 2019 (the last Pixar film released before the pandemic).

While it is true that advanced ticket sales could be drawing big numbers, it is more or less how the film does week to week that will determine if it is a success. It could have a big opening weekend but drop off a cliff shortly after, or perhaps have a lower-than-expected opening but gain momentum over time. 



Let us not forget Disney’s current situation regarding film releases. Many viewers have adjusted to the idea of waiting for movies or shows to eventually come to Disney+, so a good percentage of potential viewers might skip the theater. 

Only time will tell if this film will earn the same amount as the original, which made just over $858 million at the global box office. 

Are you looking forward to Inside Out 2? Will you see it in theaters? or will you wait for streaming? Let us know.
