Inside Out 2 Smashes Records, Becomes Highest-Grossing Film Of The Year
After two weeks in theaters, Disney and Pixar 's " Inside Out 2 " continues to soar above the competition, establishing itself as the highest-grossing movie of the year. In its second weekend, the animated film amassed a staggering $100 billion domestically and over $164.4 million internationally, culminating in a total of over $700 million in ticket sales by Sunday.
According to Variety, "Inside Out 2" experienced a modest 35 percent drop from its impressive debut, marking the best performance ever for an animated film in its second weekend. This achievement also ranks it as the 7th best second weekend of all time, surpassing blockbusters like "Force Awakens," "Avengers: Endgame," "Avengers: Infinity War," "Black Panther," "Jurassic World," and "The Avengers."
With its box office haul exceeding $700 million, the Pixar sequel has already outperformed "Dune: Part Two," which grossed $711 million globally. The film is now on track to reach the coveted $1 billion milestone.
Moreover, "Inside Out 2" outpaced its 2015 predecessor's second-weekend earnings, which had garnered $90 million. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the sequel's domestic tally stands at $355 million, while its international earnings have reached $369.4 million, bringing its worldwide total to approximately $724 million.
These remarkable figures signify a major triumph for both Disney and Pixar. The past two Pixar releases, "Elemental" and "Lightyear," had lackluster performances, and three previous films went straight to streaming due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The success of "Inside Out 2" also reflects a resurgence for movie theaters, which have seen few hits this year.
More on Inside Out 2
A direct follow-up to 2015's "Inside Out," the sequel explores the life of teenage Riley and her new emotions: Anxiety, Embarrassment, Envy, and Ennui. The original emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—also return.
Directed by Kelsey Mann, "Inside Out 2" picks up where the first film left off. The story follows Riley, now a teenager, as she prepares for ice skating camp and faces various challenges navigating high school life and making new friends. Disney-Pixar has successfully blended extraordinary adventures with a relatable coming-of-age story. “The new characters promise to stir things up within headquarters," says Mann.
