Inside Out 2 Breaks Records at the Box Office Worldwide

Over the past few weeks, Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has been making waves at the box office, surpassing all expectations. As of Friday, the film has grossed an impressive $902.9M globally, with $429M coming from domestic markets and $473.9M from international markets. This puts the movie on track to reach the $1B milestone, making it the fastest animated movie ever to achieve this feat.

In just 16 days of release, Inside Out 2 has already surpassed the lifetime gross of the original film, which stood at $859M. The sequel now holds the title of the No. 19 animated film worldwide and has secured a spot in the all-time domestic animated Top 10, surpassing the iconic film Frozen.

What makes the success of Inside Out 2 even more remarkable is the fact that it has managed to exceed the original film’s global run in a relatively short period. This is especially impressive considering that the first film included markets like Russia, where Hollywood titles have not been released for some time. Additionally, Japan, a significant market for animated films, is yet to see the sequel until August 1.

With the current trajectory, Inside Out 2 is expected to surpass the $900M mark worldwide once Friday’s numbers are accounted for. There is a clear path for the film to cross the $1B threshold with Sunday’s figures included, solidifying its position as the fastest animated movie ever to reach this milestone.

The film’s success is not limited to just one region, as it continues to dominate overseas markets. Top-performing countries include Mexico, the UK, Korea, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Spain, Argentina, France, and China. The recent release of the film in new markets like New Zealand has only bolstered its international appeal, with record-breaking opening numbers.

Inside Out 2’s unprecedented success at the box office is a testament to the universal appeal of animated films and the storytelling prowess of Disney/Pixar. As the movie continues to break records and captivate audiences worldwide, it sets a new standard for animated blockbusters in the industry.
