Very surprised Inside Out grossed more domestically
I know it's Pixar, but it's an original film as compared to a prequel to an already (too) popular franchise. Not to mention Inside Out is less suited for little kids than Minions.

shareAs of now (and most likely ultimately) Inside Out will barely do better in the US but worldwide...very different story. Minions (even w/ mainly weak reviews) is 'this' close to 1 billion worldwide on a 74 million budget! lol. Inside Out had a much higher budget (I think 120 million-ish). They'll both make lots of money but Minions *easily will make much more! Imagine if Minions actually got better reviews and was a semi better movie, it prob. would of easily topped 350-400 million (closer to 400 million). For now, looking like it'll finish just south of $350/$340 million. It's def. holding up pretty well during the week and weekends so even w/ the poor reviews so people/kids are obviously going back more than once to see this.
shareI am thinking that the mixed reviews for Minions kind of turned off a lot of adults who would have normally saw it. Plus it isn't like Inside Out completely squashed it. They are going to be very close.
