Inside Out 2 has broken records as the highest-grossing animated film of all time, just six weeks after its release in cinemas. The sequel to the 2015 hit movie has raked in an impressive $1.46 billion at the global box office, surpassing the previous record held by Frozen II, which made $1.45 billion in 2019.
This remarkable achievement also places Inside Out 2 ahead of last year’s biggest blockbuster, Barbie, which earned $1.45 billion. However, the film has yet to surpass Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King, which brought in $1.65 billion.
Despite the stiff competition, Inside Out 2 is now ranked as the 13th highest-grossing film of all time. With its release in Japan still pending, the film’s total earnings are expected to climb even higher in the coming weeks.
The movie, which cost around $200 million to produce, has been a major success for Pixar, reviving the studio’s fortunes after a period of struggle. The film’s focus on a group of characters representing emotions inside a young girl’s head has resonated with audiences worldwide.
With new characters like Anxiety, Envy, and Embarrassment joining the original lineup, Inside Out 2 has captured the hearts of viewers and cemented its place in cinematic history. As the film continues to attract audiences and break records, its success serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of animated storytelling.
As Inside Out 2’s journey to the top of the box office charts continues, fans eagerly anticipate what other milestones the film will achieve in the weeks and months to come.
