After talking to my friends we finally decided to see the movie. I say to the box office clerk:

So, I'll get the four tickets for Inside out I asked for earlier.

Is this correct?

Is "Inside Out" the movie?

Why would you say 'So'?

I'd say 'Hello. My name's Batman. I reserved four tickets for 'Inside Out' online'.

I understood that situation was this. He asked for the tickets; he then saw his friends and said "Hang on" and went to confirm this with his friends; and then he went back to the ticket box.

In any case, I would ask for tickets to Inside Out, or maybe "Inside Out", or even, in the old typewriter days, Inside Out.
I would expect to be misunderstood if I wrote inside out. This applied to all books, plays, poems, films, drama. It's a title.

Raymott got it spot on :

Yes, and then I went back to the box office and said:

So, I'll get the four tickets for Inside out I asked for earlier.

Please note the multiple times you have been shown the correct way to write this film title. Both words need to be capitalised. It's called Inside Out.

I would use 'OK' instead of 'So' in your context, but I am not a teacher.
