“The highly anticipated sequel, Inside Out 2, has proven to be one of the top-grossing films of 2024. Its opening weekend exceeded the debuts of both Dune 2 and Godzilla x Kong, making it the second-highest animated debut in history.”
On June 13, 2024, Disney fans and critics alike were thrilled as Inside Out 2 hit theatres, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2015 film receiving near-unanimous praise. The movie was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from both groups.
Despite being highly anticipated by both Disney and Pixar, Inside Out 2 has exceeded all expectations by earning the highest opening weekend box office numbers of 2024.
According to a report by Variety, Inside Out 2 had a successful opening weekend at the box office, earning $155 million domestically. Its global total is just under $300 million, despite not yet being released in major markets like France, Italy, Spain, China, and Japan.
Despite the release of Inside Out 2, which had a record-breaking opening weekend in 2024, Dune 2 still managed to earn $82.5 million, surpassing the $80 million earned by Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
In addition to being the top-grossing film of 2024 thus far, the success of Inside Out 2 marks a significant comeback for Pixar. The studio had faced challenges in the past few years, especially with their sequels, but this film has proven to be a hit at the box office.
The sequel is currently the second-highest grossing animated debut, falling just behind Incredibles 2 ($182.7 million domestic earnings).
In addition, Inside Out 2 is the first movie to earn over $100 million during its opening weekend since the theatrical debut of Barbie on July 20, 2023.
In the sequel to Inside Out, Riley is once again the main character. However, she is now faced with a new set of emotions to navigate, such as anxiety, boredom, and embarrassment.
Despite potentially delving into fresh ideas and challenges, the sequel successfully retains the emotional depth and intricacy of its predecessor, a quality that has received widespread acclaim on the internet.
Despite it still being in its early stages, the sequel is on a strong trajectory to surpass the initial film’s remarkable $858.8 million box office earnings. This is especially notable as it has yet to be released in numerous regions across the globe.
