'Inside Out 2' and 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' Revitalize Box Office

Both films exceeded expectations, marking the first $200 million weekend since last July and offering hope for theater recovery.

'Inside Out 2' opened with $155 million domestically, making it the second-highest animated film opening ever.
'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' saw a smaller-than-expected drop in its second weekend, grossing $33 million.
The combined success of these films resulted in a $214 million weekend, the best since last summer.
This strong performance suggests a potential rebound for theaters, despite a challenging year ahead.
Future releases like 'A Quiet Place: Day One' and 'Deadpool & Wolverine' are anticipated to sustain this momentum.
