Inside Out 2 Sets Record with $902.9M Globally

Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has made waves in the box office, grossing an impressive $902.9M worldwide as of Friday. The sequel has surpassed the original film’s lifetime earnings of $859M in just a short span of time, reaching this milestone in only 16 days of release. It has now become the No. 19 animated film of all time globally, showcasing its immense popularity among audiences.

Of the $902.9M global earnings, $429M comes from the domestic box office, while $473.9M comes from the international market. This balanced distribution of earnings shows the widespread appeal of Inside Out 2 across different regions. The film has already cracked the all-time domestic animated Top 10, securing the No. 9 spot with $411.8M in earnings, surpassing even the beloved film Frozen.

What makes Inside Out 2’s success even more impressive is its rapid growth and achievements in various markets. Despite facing challenges such as the absence of Hollywood releases in Russia since early 2022 and the delayed release in Japan until August 1, the sequel has managed to exceed the original film’s global earnings within a short timeframe. It is on track to surpass $900M worldwide once Friday’s numbers are accounted for, with a potential to reach the coveted $1B mark by Sunday.

In new overseas markets, Inside Out 2 continues to captivate audiences and break records. Its recent release in New Zealand saw the film opening at No. 1, achieving the 3rd biggest animated launch day of all time in the country. This success in new territories, combined with strong performances in established markets like Mexico, the UK, and Korea, positions Inside Out 2 as a global blockbuster with immense earning potential.

Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has proven to be a massive success both domestically and internationally, setting new records and surpassing expectations. With its rapid growth and widespread appeal, the film is on track to become the fastest animated movie ever to reach the $1B milestone, solidifying its position as a must-watch for audiences worldwide.
