'Inside Out' has the Highest Opening Weekend for an Original Movie



Although Inside Out came in number two for the box office weekend totals, It made the large sum of $91 Million, which is the highest grossing opening weekend for a Pixar movie with the exception of Toy Story 3 ($110.3M).  On it's opening night (June 19) it made $34M, and surpassed  the monster hit movie Jurassic World  which grossed just over $29M. Although it couldn't beat Jurassic World's $102M weekend cash-in, Inside Out now has the record for the largest opening weekend of an original, non-sequel movie ever, beating James Cameron's Avatar ($77M).


Inside Out has also received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and audiences alike. It has a sky high score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the critics consensus praises the film saying:
Inventive, gorgeously animated, and powerfully moving, Inside Out is another outstanding addition to the Pixar library of modern animated classics.
