While Inside Out 2 made it a tight race for the number one spot; it narrowly beat out A Quiet Place: Day One at movie theatres this weekend.
A Tight Race For Number One
The movie is also now the first movie of 2024 to reach $1 billion. This is after 19 days of release. The movie has a 100-day theatrical release, so the fact it was able to make $1 billion in one-fifth of the time it has been in theatres is quite impressive. This is a notable win for Pixar, Disney, and Movie Theatres overall.
As per Box Office Mojo, Inside Out 2 was the number one movie this weekend. The movie brought in $57.4 million. This was in line with my predictions last week. The movie did lose 43% of its box office revenue from last week, but that was not enough to take away the number one spot from the animated sequel.
A Quiet Place: Day One was no slouch at the box office, however. The movie was estimated to bring in $40 million, but it exceeded expectations and brought in $53 million. Undoubtedly, good buzz from critics and other moviegoers certainly helped drive people to see the movie. A Quiet Place: Day One‘s debut is the highest in the franchise, ensuring that we’ll get more stories in this franchise for years to come.
The Rest Of The Box Office
Horizon: An American Saga—Chapter 1 debuted in the third place spot, earning $11 million. The movie cost $100 million to make, so it’s uncertain if it will be profitable, but it’s certainly not a good start.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die was fourth with $10.3 million.
Finally, Kalki 2898 AD was in fifth with $5.4 million.
Next Week Belongs To The Minions
Despicable Me 4 is the big release next week, and it’s projected to make $60 million to $80 million next weekend. This will put it in direct competition with Inside Out 2 as both are vying for the family audience.
Despicable Me 4 will likely lower Inside Out 2‘s box office so I expect it’ll be number one. I don’t think it’ll impact A Quiet Place: Day One, and I expect that movie to be in second place more than likely.
