Both Pixar and movie theaters could really use a hit right now, and it looks like Inside Out 2could be the answer to both of their prayers. In early Thursday night previews, the sequel to Pixar’s 2014 animated hit earned an estimated $13 million. That’s the highest total for any Thursday opening for any 2024 release to date. Early estimates predict the film could make between $80 and $90 million over the weekend. The original Inside Out grossed $356 million in U.S. theaters and $857 million worldwide.

Watchmenis getting yet another adaptation — this one animated. It has previously been turned into a very faithful Zack Snyder live-action movie, and it was also given a sequel TV series a few years ago on HBO. There’s even a “motion comic” of the classic Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons series as well. The next reimagination of the iconic graphic novel doesn’t look like it has much re-imagining at all: It’s a two-part animated feature that at first glance looks extremely faithful to Dave Gibbons original artwork from the Watchmen comics. The teaser for the two-part adaptation can be watched below; ...

Nicole Kidman has confirmed that she and Sandra Bullock are returning for the Practical Magic sequel. Warner Bros. announced a follow-up to the 1998 comedy film earlier this week and the Eyes Wide Shut star has revealed that she and Bullock will be reprising their roles as witch sisters Gillian and Sally Owens respectively. Nicole told People: “Yes I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that’s that.” “There’s a lot more to tell which is why we go, ‘OK, this is kind of interesting now to be able to do this. [We] found a way in.” Warner Bros. posted on social media about the sequel after ...

There are certain things Pixar fans are known to do. They love to hunt down the company’s Easter eggs, like A113 and the Pizza Planet truck. They frequently weep at children’s films. They tend to look down their noses at kids films from other companies. And they compulsively rank all of the studio’s movies. In honor oftime-honored tradition, which now dates back decades this Pixar fan humbly presents his deeply personal (and yet, somehow, 100 percent objectively correct) ranking of all those movies. Compared with some of the other franchises, universes, or genres I’ve ranked, this was an absol...

The following post contains SPOILERS for Inside Out 2. After this, you’re not allowed to scream at me like Lewis Black while fire explodes from your head. You have been warned. Pixar’s Inside Out 2 takes us further into the recesses of 13-year-old Riley’s mind. Joy and company’s quest to retrieve Riley’s “Sense of Self” from the “Back of Her Mind” winds through all sorts of locales cleverly inspired by the human psyche — like the “sar-chasm” that opens near the “Stream of Consciousness.” At one point, Joy, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are all captured by the “Mind Police” (which really should be t...

You know what they say about first impressions: You only get one chance to make them. That’s why Hollywood studios spent so much time, effort, and money crafting movie posters; testing different images, different title treatments, and especially different taglines. Taglines are, at their core, a facet of marketing. But this facet of commerce does (or at least can) involve art as well. A good tagline can help you remember a movie, or inspire you to tell your friends about it. A great tagline will implant itself in your brain forever — in some cases, far longer than the film it is meant to adver...

Ordering popcorn at the movie theater has gotten a lot more interesting – and much more expensive – in recent years. As movie studios and theaters scramble to generate more income in the face of declining box office revenue, they’ve turned to merchandising. The simple paper buckets of the past have been upstaged by highly detailed plastic and tin works of art featuring characters or props from Hollywood’s latest blockbusters. They can sell for anywhere from $10 to $25 dollars, creating an irresistible new revenue opportunity for the struggling industry. You can see a gallery of 2024’s best pop...

The young woman in the picture above is Catherine Laga‘aia, the 17-year-old actress from Sydney Australia who has just been chosen to play the live-action version of Moana in Disney’s upcoming remake of the film.

The first time I remember feeling anxiety I was 11 years old. It was the last day of sixth grade —the last day of elementary school period — and kids were signing each other’s yearbooks. I had a crush on the girl I had sat next to in fifth grade English, and I really wanted her signature. There was just one problem: I had no idea how to ask for it (or, for that matter, how to talk to a girl in any other context). Short, awkward, and weird, I had recently come to the shocking realization that I was a deeply uncool human being, and I was convinced I was especially unappealing to members of the o...
