The domestic box office has struggled so far this year, but Disney-Pixar's hit sequel has given theater owners a much needed chill pill.

For the first time since Warner Bros.' 'Barbie' took the box office by storm last summer, the team at Shankweiler's Drive-In Theatre in Orefield, Pa., has been forced to turn dozens of cars away from its four-acre, 300-parking space lot. The cause? Huge demand for Pixar's 'Inside Out 2.' 'It was a very hard winter. It was a bumpy spring,' said the drive-in's co-owner, Lauren McChesney. 'This has kind of changed everything for us right now.

“Things will get better, but we haven’t fully turned the corner yet,' he said. 'But there are definitely better days ahead.” The movie's success is also a win for famed computer animation studio Pixar, which has had a rough time since the pandemic abruptly cut short its release of 'Onward' in 2020 and resulted in its next three titles going directly to streaming on Disney+.
