Expected for 9 years, the sequel to the Pixar film “Vice-Versa” was previewed yesterday at the Grand Rex and to the press. What are the first returns on “Vice-Versa 2”?
Nine years after Pete Docter’s Vice-Versa, an international box office success with $857 million, Riley and his emotions are back for a brand new adventure. Freshly graduated, Riley is now a teenager… Which will trigger a major upheaval within the headquarters which must face something unexpected: the arrival of new emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust – which have worked successfully for a long time – don’t really know how to react when Anxiety arrives. And it seems she’s not the only one…
Directed by Kelsey Mann, the feature film was released this Friday, June 14 in American theaters and grossed $155 million for its first weekend in theaters and $140 million worldwide. Vice-Versa 2 therefore collected $295 million at the international box office for its first weekend. This is the best worldwide start of all time for an animated film.
In France, the film from Pixar studios was presented to the press and the public during several previews.
