There's hardly anything original about it. I saw this in the early 90s when it was called Herman's Head on Fox.


There is nothing original about your post either.

Going by these rules, no films are original these days, since everything has been done before one way or another.

It actually does.


Are you sure? Next question, does the first Harry Potter movie not count as original?


Because Inside out did $90,440,272, while Harry Potter did $90,294,621... in 2001. I would say that's more impressive, especially considering Inside Out was shown on almost 300 more screens.

Well considering all the Easter eggs for other Pixar films, should Inside Out even qualify under that definition?

ETA: How about The Passion of the Christ at $83,848,082 in 2004 and 900 less screens. It sure doesn't look like inflation is considered.

Was it an original story or an adaptation of a book?

That answers the question.

I edited in a another example. So unless the Bible disqualifies it, this article is garbage.

Why would it not? The movie was not an original story at all.

The next closest is Avatar... from 2009 at $77 mill... which adjusts to only about $82 mill today.

No. It's me asking if you're really that stupid to not understand that a movie based on the bible isn't original.

Avatar isn't original at all. Ever heard of Dances With Wolves. Since you're being oddly specific with what is and isn't original and all.

What is startling about Inside Out's weekend is that it is the highest opening weekend ever for an original property (that is to say one that is not a sequel or a non-sourced work), passing Avatar, which made $77M on its December 18-20, 2009 bow.

FWIW, Avatar is not original. It's an almost exact copy of Pocahontas.
