In the month it's been out,"Inside Out 2" has grossed more than $1 billion at the global box office — the fastest ever for an animated film, according to The Walt Disney Company.
"Obviously 'Despicable Me,' when it comes out soon," said film critic Victor Aragon."'Inside Out' is a great one too. But I know with ticket prices being what they are, great movies to watch at home on Netflix would be 'Ultraman Rising' and 'Thelma The Unicorn.'" The cost of an average movie ticket in the U.S. is now $10.78, but in cities like Chicago, where Aragon lives, going to the movie theater can cost $20 a person.
Streaming isn't an option yet for films like"Inside Out 2," and Aragon says word of mouth will continue to drive audiences to go see it in theaters. For older audiences and families with teens looking for something to watch this Fourth of July, Aragon recommends a more thrilling option.
