After the disastrous Memorial Day weekend at movie theaters with the tanking of Furiosa, and, before that, the lackluster ticket sales for The Fall Guy, it seems the Hollywood summer is now saved. The new Pixar film Inside Out 2 “massively outperformed expectations at the box office and scored the biggest opening of the year so far with $155 million domestically and $140 million overseas.”

This pulls Pixar out of its recent slump, rescuing the studio from a terrible fate. According to Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter, had Inside Out 2 failed, Pixar would have had to “’radically’ rethink its business model.”

Horrors! What a narrowly averted tragedy!
