That puts the animated film on course to possibly cross $90 million for the weekend in North America — the best showing for an original Pixar title and the top opening for any Pixar title outside of _Toy Story 3_, which launched to $110.3 million and had the benefit of being part of a beloved franchise. (Disney is estimating $84 million-$89 million for _Inside Out_, while rivals have it hitting $90 million). It’s even more impressive considering the competition from _Jurassic World_, one of the biggest box-office sensations in history. _Jurassic World_, grossing $28.9 million Friday, is still expected to win the weekend overall with $103.3 million from 4,291, narrowly eclipsing _The Avengers_ ($103 million) to score the top sophmore gross of all time. Through Sunday, _Jurassic World_ will have earned nearly $400 million domestically for Universal and Legendary. The weekend’s other new entry is _Dope_, Rick Famuyiwa’s coming-of-age story that made waves at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. The movie grossed $2.4 million Friday for a projected $6.5 million domestic debut from 2,002 theaters. Open Road Films opted for a nationwide opening, versus a platform release. _Inside Out_ will be the first Pixar title not to place No. 1 in its domestic debut if it comes in behind _Jurassic World_. But opening-weekend spoils aren’t everything, especially considering animated films can play far longer in the marketplace than live-action tentpoles. The critically acclaimed _Inside Out_, from directors Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen, nabbed an A CinemaScore and returns Pixar to the big screen for the first time in two years. Sporting a 98 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the unique coming-of-age tale features the voices of Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling and Phyllis Smith and centers on five emotions — Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear and Anger — that try to protect a young girl when she is upset by her family’s move to San Francisco. In terms of previous Pixar openings, _Toy Story 3_ ranks No. 1, followed by sequel _Monsters University_ ($82.4 million). Among original titles, _The Incredibles_ ranks No. 1 with $70.4 million, followed by _Finding Nemo_ ($70.3 million) and Docter’s _Up_ ($68.1 million). _This_[ _article_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-inside-devours-jurassic-803802) _originally appeared on_ [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com) _More from The Hollywood Reporter:_ * [2015 Summer Movie Guide: Sequels… Comedy… Action!](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/2015-summer-movie-guide-sequels-796697) * [Summer Box Office Champs: From Sharks to Shrek to Superheroes](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/summer-box-office-champs-summer-794202) * [Kids’ Summer Guide: 25 New Things Families Can Watch and Read Together](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/new-kids-movies-tv-shows-793024) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3929354/inside-out-jurassic-world-box-office/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3929354/inside-out-jurassic-world-box-office/"},"headline":"Inside Out Takes a Bite Out of Jurassic World at the Box Office","datePublished":"2015-06-20T16:56:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:23:13.597Z","description":"The new Pixar film had a big Friday night","url":"https://time.com/3929354/inside-out-jurassic-world-box-office/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt25a7be31f3824d5b/6988557bcd6848dab90a071b/inside-out.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Pamela McClintock and Aaron Couch/The Hollywood Reporter"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt25a7be31f3824d5b/6988557bcd6848dab90a071b/inside-out.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"INSIDE OUT","caption":"INSIDE OUT","creditText":"Disney/Pixar","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3929354/inside-out-jurassic-world-box-office/","name":"Inside Out Takes a Bite Out of Jurassic World at the Box Office"}}]}] ```
