AceShowbiz - "Inside Out (2015)" marks the first Pixar title not to place number one in its domestic debut, but it seems that Pixar will not be disappointed as the movie amazingly earned $90.4 million from 3,946 theaters.

Disney distribution chief Dave Hollis talked about the movie, "John Lasseter has said that quality is the best business plan, and the cornerstone of every Pixar release. Quality in this case translated into 'Inside Out' becoming the biggest original opening in the history of the movie business by a stretch."

He added while praising "Inside Out", "It's so relatable with its characters, so sophisticated, drawing in both adults and families. We knew we had something extraordinary when 9 P.M. shows were selling out."
