Riley’s back – and she’s brought in billions at the box office! The highly-anticipated sequel Inside Out 2 has taken the world by storm since hitting theaters this summer. It’s now the highest-grossing movie of the whole year globally.
After just 5 weeks, Inside Out 2 has racked up over $1.3 billion worldwide. That makes it the only movie this year to pass the billion-dollar mark. And it’s not slowing down yet – the film is still rolling out in places like Japan.
No surprise this sequel did so well, says analyst Paul D. He notes how the first Inside Out appealed to such a wide range of ages. Kids identify with Riley growing up, while adults appreciate how real the emotions feel. Its huge opening weekend saved what was shaping up to be a dull summer for movies.
Inside Out 2’s achievements include:
- Highest-Grossing of 2024
- Third among all animated flicks
- Pixar’s top money-maker ever
- Second-biggest animated global opening
- Top animated internationally
- Huge domestic opening for a PG film
- #1 in countries like Brazil and Mexico
The movie’s resonance shows animated films – and Pixar’s storytelling – keep connecting globally. As it spreads to new markets, Inside Out 2 looks set to shatter more records. Riley’s world continues giving joy to audiences and box offices around the world!
