“Inside Out 2,” starring a personified Anxiety, continued to resonate with moviegoers as the No. 1 film in North America for a third weekend. The dread-infused prequel “A Quiet Place: Day One” also struck a cultural nerve, arriving to stronger-than-expected ticket sales. But ticket buyers largely rebuffed Kevin Costner’s three-hour vanity project, “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1,” the supposed start of an Old West movie series that was once headed straight to a streaming service before managing to get bumped up to the big screen. “Inside Out 2” from Pixar was on pace to collect $57.4 million, for a three-week total of roughly $470 million in the United States and Canada, according to estimates by box office analysts on Sunday. The well-reviewed sequel has reached $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales. No movie has reached that sales threshold since “Barbie,” which was released in July 2023.
