As a die-hard fan of animated films, I have been absolutely thrilled to witness the meteoric success of “Inside Out 2.” This Disney-Pixar sequel has truly taken the world by storm since its release on June 14, 2024. Breaking box office records left and right, it’s been an awe-inspiring sight to behold.
The latest release from Inside Out, namely Inside Out 2, has surpassed the earnings of Frozen 2 to hold the title of the highest-grossing animated film ever. Debuting in cinemas on June 14, 2024, this Disney-Pixar sequel quickly became a sensation. It set a new benchmark for the largest opening weekend in 2024 and has since been leading the box office charts, leaving a trail of record-breaking sales in its wake. Inside Out 2 has maintained its position among the top three films for six consecutive weeks and, as of now, has amassed an impressive $600 million in domestic ticket sales.
With a global tally pushing it past a significant threshold, Disney confirmed through an official press release that “Inside Out 2” has amassed $1.462 billion at the worldwide box office, surpassing “Frozen II’s” ($1.453 billion) earnings in 2019. As of now, “Inside Out 2” is the only film released in 2024 to gross over $1 billion globally. The movie has been impressively successful overseas, holding the title for highest-grossing film in industry history in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Uruguay. Currently ranked as the thirteenth highest-grossing film of all time at the worldwide box office, “Inside Out 2” is aiming to surpass “Barbie” and “Top Gun: Maverick.”
Inside Out 2 Has a Catch to It’s Achievement
As a gamer and avid movie fan, I can’t help but notice the buzz around “Inside Out 2” setting new records as the highest-grossing animated film. However, it’s important to acknowledge a small yet significant detail: “The Lion King” from 2019 holds the second spot with an impressive worldwide box office of $1.663 billion. Although marketed as a live-action remake, this movie is actually fully CGI animated with stunningly realistic graphics. Some might argue that it’s not in the traditional “cartoon” style, but it’s animation all the same. However, Disney has been adamant about labeling it a live-action production and even skipped submitting it for Best Animated Movie at the Academy Awards in 2020.
As a devoted moviegoer and box office analyst with over a decade of experience under my belt, I strongly believe that “Inside Out 2” has a solid chance of becoming the highest-grossing animated film of the year. Over the summer, I’ve closely monitored the box office performance of various films, and “Inside Out 2” has consistently outperformed its competitors. Its captivating storyline, stunning visuals, and relatable characters have resonated with audiences of all ages, leading to impressive ticket sales.
If “Inside Out 2” fails to surpass “The Lion King,” that doesn’t diminish its accomplishments in any way. In fact, it has currently become Pixar’s highest-grossing film globally, outpacing box office hits like “Toy Story 3,” “Incredibles 2,” and “Finding Dory.” The movie has earned more than the last six Pixar films combined, a significant portion of which can be attributed to the Covid pandemic and the lukewarm reception towards new Pixar characters. With upcoming releases like “Frozen 3” and “Toy Story 5,” we’ll have to wait and see if “Inside Out 2” continues holding the title as Pixar’s top-grossing film.
