The Big Picture With its 20-day free run at the box office now over with Despicable Me 4 launching mid-week, Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out 2 broke new global records on Wednesday. The blockbuster sequel has now cemented itself as one of the top-grossing animated movies in history, both domestically and worldwide, and now ranks as the second-biggest hit in the history of Pixar.
On its third Wednesday of release, the film overtook Finding Dory domestically and Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 at the global box office, to become Pixar’s second-biggest hit of all time. On both fronts, Inside Out 2 trails only Incredibles 2, which concluded its run with $608 million domestically and $1.2 billion worldwide in 2018. Inside Out 2 has now grossed a hair under $490 million domestically, and $1.073 billion worldwide.
Inside Out 2 overtook the $1.06 billion and $1.07 billion lifetime global hauls of Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 on Wednesday, and is now the third-biggest animated movie of all time domestically, and the sixth-biggest worldwide, behind Minions , Incredibles 2 , Frozen , The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Frozen II . On the all-time domestic chart, it trails The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s $574 million lifetime haul, and Incredibles 2’s record $608 million lifetime haul.
Only Five Pixar Movies Have Grossed Over $1 Billion Worldwide; They're All Sequels Close Inside Out 2 is Pixar’s biggest hit in six years. The studio has struggled in the post-pandemic era, having delivered a string of under-performers that led to layoffs. Several of its movies — Soul, Luca, Turning Red — were released directly on the Disney+ streaming platform in the domestic market due to the pandemic, and an over-eagerness to build a viable Netflix rival.
Directed by debutante Kelsey Mann, the movie received positive reviews upon release, and appears to have settled on a 90% approval rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. By comparison, Pete Docter’s Oscar-winning original Inside Out had a 98% RT score, and grossed around $860 million in its global run. You can watch Inside Out 2 in theaters, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
