Disney/Pixar’s highly anticipated sequel, Inside Out 2, has been making waves at the box office, breaking records left and right. With a global gross of $902.9M as of Friday, it is well on its way to crossing the coveted $1B milestone. Surpassing its predecessor’s lifetime gross of $859M in just 16 days, Inside Out 2 has secured a spot as the No. 19 animated film worldwide. The film has already surpassed Frozen, climbing to the 9th spot on the all-time domestic animated chart with $411.8M.
What sets Inside Out 2 apart is its impressive performance in the international market. With $473.9M coming from overseas, the film has been a massive success in key territories. From Mexico to China, Inside Out 2 has captured the hearts of audiences across the globe. The film’s release in New Zealand saw it opening at No. 1 and achieving the 3rd biggest animated launch day of all time in the country. This success is a testament to the universal appeal of the film and the power of the Disney/Pixar brand.
Inside Out 2’s rapid rise to success is even more remarkable considering the challenges it faced in certain markets. The film has already exceeded the original Inside Out’s global run, despite not having access to the Russian market, where Hollywood titles have been unavailable since early 2022. Additionally, Japan will not see the sequel until August 1, yet the film is still on track to surpass $900M worldwide by the end of Friday. With Sunday’s figures included, Inside Out 2 is poised to become the fastest animated movie ever to reach the $1B milestone.
The top international markets for Inside Out 2 have played a crucial role in its massive success. From Mexico to France, the film has resonated with audiences around the world. In countries like the UK, Korea, and Brazil, Inside Out 2 has become a box office powerhouse, solidifying its status as a global phenomenon. With China’s market still contributing significantly to its total gross, the film shows no signs of slowing down.
Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has proven to be a massive hit both domestically and internationally. With its record-breaking box office numbers and universal appeal, the film has solidified its place as one of the most successful animated sequels of all time. As it continues to soar past milestones and break records, Inside Out 2 is a true testament to the power of storytelling and the magic of Disney/Pixar collaboration.
