The sequel reached that milestone in just 16 days of its release and is already the 19th-highest-grossing animated film worldwide.
Inside Out 2 of disney and Pixar has grossed $863.1 million worldwide as of Thursday, surpassing the original film’s global gross of $859 million. The sequel reached that level in just 16 days from its release and is already the 19th animated film worldwide.
Earlier this week, Inside Out 2 entered the Top 10 highest-grossing animated films in the US of all time and now sits at No. 9 on that list with $411.8 million, surpassing 2013’s Frozen. The international box office total through Thursday is $451.3 million after adding $16.6 million from 45 foreign markets on Thursday.
What’s most impressive about Inside Out 2 surpassing the original 2015 film’s entire global run in such a short period is that the first film’s total includes Russia, where Hollywood titles haven’t been released since early 2022. Inside Out, the first one, also has Japan on its slate, while that market won’t get the sequel until August 1.
At this rate, Inside Out 2 will surpass $900 million worldwide once Friday’s numbers are tallied. There is a path for the blockbuster to surpass the $1 billion mark with Sunday’s figures included, which would make it the fastest animated film to reach that milestone.
What is Inside Out 2 about?
