Disney+ is finally turning profitable, compared to the $587 million operating loss that segment posted in the prior-year quarter.

The year-over-year comparisons should be kinder this time around.

Then we get to what happened over the weekend, as Disney buried the narrative that its theatrical animation studio was dying if not dead. Inside Out 2 opened to a better-than-expected showing at the multiplex. It generated $155 million in domestic ticket sales, well ahead of the $90 million industry watchers were forecasting. Throw in another $140 million in box office receipts for international screenings, and the Pixar sequel has raked in $295 million in total ticket sales.

Inside Out 2's strong start is impressive. There's only one other animated feature with a stronger opening, Incredibles 2 with $183 million for its 2018 stateside debut.
