Ayo Edebiri’s Inside Out 2 which is her new movie, has just smashed the Boz office in its opening weekend.
According to the report by TMZ, the much-anticipated Pixar sequel outperformed expectations this weekend by a mile, raking in $155 million domestically and $140 million internationally for a grand total of $295 million — the second-largest animated opening ever.
It’s also the biggest opening weekend for any movie this year and the first film to open at above $100 million domestically since “Barbie” came out last July … so, those tiny emotions are causing a huge stir at the theater.
The Ayo Edebiri’s Inside Out 2 set in the same child’s head as the hit 2015 film — introduces several new emotions to the fan favorites Pixar stans know and love, including Maya Hawke’s Anxiety, Adèle Exarchopoulos’ Ennui, Paul Walter Hauser’s Embarrassment and Edebiri’s Envy.
It’s a big step for Ayo Edebiri who’s mainly made her mark on TV shows and smaller, indie films. Of course, we know she’s got acting chops — she’s got a Golden Globe and an Emmy for “The Bear” but, this is the first we’ve seen of her taking on a major role in a box office smash.
Ayo’s got more ‘Bear’ on the way … but she’s also starring in a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” film too — and box office success in her next few projects could send her star into the stratosphere.
