I love that Deadpool + Wolverine is chasing it at 1.22 billion.

It might be tough to overtake. Inside Out 2 did better with international audiences. D&W may beat it domestically though… it’ll be close for that.

My therapist recommended that I check this out. I’m looking forward to it hitting torrent sites.

No idea where they pull their data but they put Inside Out 2 at the top of this list too:

I thought the first movie was better. Inside Out 2 was fine and enjoyed it but it felt a bit more painful comedy wise than the first one and the story was less compelling.

I’m a bit torn. While I think the overall first movie is better, as an adult… I very much connected to the inside story of the second one much more, as did most people I know that watched it.

It seems they liked it enough for it to make $1.6 billion.

And apparently it has an 88% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes.

It was a Lion King movie. Of course people paid to go see it. Box office profits (tickets sold) do not equate to an enjoyable film.

I’ve never heard of anyone IRL or online claim that film was worthy of their time.

We all got catfished on that one but I’m not surprised. You cannot remake a classic. It will work only 1 time out of 50. The odds are never good.

Jungle Book was an exception, imo.

I know a person who loved the movie. Of course they haven‘t watched the original nor do they intend to because cartoons „are for children“. Some folks just watch anything that just gets advertised enough I guess.

I watched both, liked both. I don’t think it’s that deep. It was just The Lion King with new voices and new visuals.

What do people generally dislike about it? Just that it’s a remake of a film?

Wasn’t that the first of the modern “live action” remakes? Nobody knew how terrible they’d all be yet so it probably sold well.

I feel like the sequel to Inside Out should have been called Outside In
