Pixar’s ‘Inside Out 2‘ is absolutely crushing it! This sequel is not just meeting expectations; it’s blowing them out of the water. After an epic $295 million opening, ‘Inside Out 2’ has pulled off a second weekend that’s downright legendary, raking in a staggering $725 million globally. Yup, you read that right – it’s officially the top movie of 2024, dethroning ‘Dune: Part II’s‘ $711 million.
New Emotions, Same Success
In ‘Inside Out 2,’ new emotions are taking the reins, and clearly, they’re steering straight to box office glory. Since its debut, this film has been overperforming every single day, setting weekday records and smashing projections. The big surprise came last Friday with a domestic haul of $30 million, signalling that this Pixar gem was on track for something truly special.
Heading for the Billion Dollar Club
With $725 million already in the bank, ‘Inside Out 2’ is practically a shoo-in for the billion-dollar club. Even if it follows a more typical pattern of weekly declines, it’s poised to hit that magical $1 billion mark soon, potentially making it the first film since ‘Barbie’ to do so. Whether it happens in a week or two, families are loving this movie, and the buzz is driving repeat viewings and glowing recommendations.
What’s Next for Inside Out 2?
Next weekend sees the release of ‘A Quiet Place: Day One,’ but let’s be real – a PG-13 horror flick isn’t going to steal the thunder from Disney-Pixar’s family-friendly powerhouse. In fact, with schools out for summer, parents might find it easier to split their kids between the two movies, boosting box office numbers even more for both.
Whether you’re a fan of Joy, Sadness, or any of the new emotions taking centre stage, Inside Out 2 proves that Pixar magic is very much alive and kicking.
