Inside Out 2 Has Shockingly Huge Opening - Charts with Dan!

[@uekernas]

Calling The Lion King remake a “weird, in-between” thing describes it accurately in more ways than one…

[@dorino9057]

No, I can’t wait for the movie to come out. Excited to watch it.

[@MultiPlatGamerGuy]

I will say this. I saw Inside Out 2 EVERYWHERE. On buses, signage in the shopping center/mall, bus stops, trailers, etc. The marketing has been on point.

[@daveellsworth1197]

I remember when I saw the luggage carousel at JFK airport completely wrapped in Inside Out 2 signage my thoughts we "Damn they are really going all out on marketing for this"

[@sebastianshook6771]

Yeah, The Marketing Was Everywhere. Back When I Was Indifferent Towards This Movie, I Found The Marketing To Be Aggressive.

[@xamina12345]

150M marketing budget probably

[@Erasureeraser]

I didn't see any marketing in bus stops but in some toy stores near my house, it seems like they sell the merchandise quite a lot and people have been buying it in the last few hours

[@closeben]

Last year there was also massive marketing for Elemental in my city, so I don’t know how much effect that really has on opening weekend. The types of people that see a movie because they saw it on a bus are also the types of people who don’t know what weekend it opens and likely end up seeing it later. I expect the legs on this film will be solid.

[@BlckSWANWhtRbbt]

Anecdotally, our theater had a lot of teens with their families. My daughter loved the first one when she was young and was so excited that she was 13 like Riley is in the 2nd one. I think this could feel like the Toy Story of this generation where the movies age with the fans.

[@lildigipoke]

What a lore drop from Dan! That's crazy!

[@Samuel-p17]

An animated movie, that doesn't want to be seen as animated, doesn't deserve to be number one on that list

[@annekeener4119]

I think there needs to be a special category for a CGI or special effects showcase, which is what Lion King 2019 was and a lot of other movies that technically have a lot of animation are. The difference between animation and a CGI bonanza comes down to realism. Animation is stylized, deliberately highlighting that it is drawings brought to life by movie magic. CGI tries to be as realistic as possible, hiding that it isn't real. You don't care when you can tell something was animation, but you do care when you can tell something was CGI.

[@Samuel-p17]

Yeah a category called uncanny Valley

[@V0LTUnDeAd]

@@Samuel-p17that's not what uncanny valley means

[@A-ro-2803]

There is a clear cut difference in how the lion king remake was made versus an animated film. Lion King (2019) was filmed with the Avatar and Jungle book (2016) technology where the CG world was roughed out and Faverau and a film team were legitimately on a set with an actual camera filming a world. He would take multiple “shots of scene and then the movie was “animated” in post like any big budget Avengers or Avatar or whatever film. True Animation never has a set or a real camera or multiple “takes” of a scene. Everything is just in the computer and in the animators minds.

[@ExtraMichael]

Early Charts with Dan! Happy Monday!!!

That inside out 2 international poster is really telling a story with the emotions divided against each other with the control panel acting as some kind of dividing line and Riley's head blowing up in the foreground as if conflicted with affronting sides.

​@@joser1853you didn't ask for it. A lot of people did BUT they wanted Charlize Theron back. They saw a different actor and lost interest or didn't make the connection. Also, there was a time gap.

[@closeben]

I think stories like this are what makes this show work better on Mondays. Even if you need to correct based on final numbers, the story is still the same, so it’s worth getting it out earlier. Also if the final numbers for Inside Out 2 are drastically higher then it would be an example where it makes sense to mention the correction earlier in the show - if it actually adds to the story rather than just minor corrections.

[@RamenzillaX]

So happy to see Inside Out 2 come out on top! It’s one of the few movies I actually went to theatres to see and it was worth seeing.

[@ItsKimOlson]

Watching this while eating my day-old popcorn from "Inside Out 2." 😊😊😊 I saw "Inside Out 2" Sunday night at 6 p.m. I haven't seen a theatre or concession stand so busy in a LONG time. I checked the theatre for my showtime a few hours before & a couple seats had been sold. When I went to buy my ticket, before the show, the theatre was PACKED and I got lucky on finding my one good seat. This was in Dolby. The highest Opening Weekend for a Non-Sequel Pixar film is the original "Inside Out." (Followed by "Finding Nemo" & "Up." & "Monsters Inc" & "Incredibles" & "Cars.") "Onward" did not deserve to be impacted by the pandemic the way it was. 💔😭 I LOVED that movie! "Wall-E" deserves way more recognition at the Disney parks. It comes in right behind a movie that got a franchise and its own land. Put Wall-E with the "sciences" or "outer space," but he deserves more. Wrong channel, I know, but I just realized this. LOVE Magic Spoon sponsor! ❤ Your prom date wrote & directed a movie?! 😵 Very cool!

I love to see that Inside Out 2 came in so strong. It's a delightful movie.

[@dvdwalker8]

I went to Inside Out 2 in Imax on Saturday at 2pm. Not my preferred day or time but it worked out to where I could see Fellowship of the Ring shortly after. The parking lot was jammed and both ticket lines were to the door. Lot of people getting concessions as well. I always get my tickets through the app days in advance so it wasn't a problem for me. Greatly enjoyed the movie and would like to see it in 3D. I'm going to Midsommar in Imax on Thursday.

I think Bad Boys is a perfect summer movie to enjoy as it’s simple and fun and plays well as a sequel to the other films that operated the same. Inside Out 2 is a great sequel to a film that’s 9 years old so audiences missed the characters. I think the lesson to be learned here is know your audience and let them make the demands of when/if a sequel is needed.

Lion king is an aninated film, however tge amount of cg in the Avenger movies i would also say those are also animated movies :)

[@LCDigital92]

I think that if you have live elements (actors, environments, etc) you can’t really claim it’s an “animated” movie. A live action/animated hybrid like Space Jam (or more recently, Sonic) isn’t exclusively one or the other. If the original Toy Story is considered “first entirely computer-animated feature film” and it’s 100% animated, the Lion King (with only 1 non-animated shot?) is essentially 100% animated, unlike Avengers movies. If Avengers 5 has all the characters as CGI and environments and everything CG, then that’s definitely more like an “animated” film like Pixar and The Lion King.

My theater had opened their second concessions stand, which is never open, and I still had to wait in line about 10 minutes to get my popcorn. Good thing they don't start playing the movie until after 20 minutes of ads. Honestly, I'm not in love with Tuesday as a movie, but you have to give it credit for doing its own thing, and it got a couple tears out of me by the end. I wanted to find a showing of In A Violent Nature, but since its opening, I haven't found any theaters near me doing a showtime that starts earlier than 9pm, and I just can't justify being out that late for a movie... some of us horror fans have day jobs and bed times!

I would love if you did one video where you tried to guestimate the standard revenue percentage made outside the theatrical window. I know it varies a lot by movie and we don't really have hard numbers on this stuff, but maybe you can try to guestimate by genre and type of movie or something. Then whenever you reference that you're only talking about profits in the theatrical window, you can mention that you put out a video where you did your best to guestimate what all the other sources of revenue would add up to.
