Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is coming in at the high range of what we told you last night –$155M domestic– and an overall mind-blowing $295M global, by far the biggest Hollywood movie opening both stateside and around the world YTD besting Dune: Part Two ($182.5M) and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire at $194M.

Laquan Copeland, a Columbus native, is playing a lead role in an upcoming movie, which will be released later this month.
