The Big Picture After a record-breaking three-week run at the global box office, Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out 2 faced off against Universal and Illumination’s Despicable Me 4 this weekend. But despite concerns that the two animated films might cannibalize each other, there appears to be a “Barbenheimer” redux brewing.
With around $533 million domestically and another $683 million from overseas markets, the film’s cumulative global haul now stands at a staggering $1.21 billion. Early congratulations are in order, because this means that Inside Out 2 is only a few days away from becoming the biggest Pixar movie of all time globally, ahead of Incredibles 2, which concluded its run with $1.24 billion in 2018.
Inside Out 2 is now the fifth-biggest animated film in global box office history, behind only Incredibles 2 , Frozen , The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Frozen II . Inside Out 2 debuted with nearly $300 million worldwide in its blockbuster first weekend, and has since been shattering record after record both domestically and worldwide. At the rate it’s going, there’s a strong chance that it eventually overtakes Frozen II’s lifetime haul as well.
Pixar's Biggest Films Are All Sequels Close Needless to say, it’s also the top-grossing film of the year so far, having dethroned Dune: Part Two a while ago. But more importantly, the film brought back some lost respect for Pixar; the legendary animation house had been struggling for the last few years, with a string of under-performers that led to layoffs.
Pixar continues to splurge on its projects, even though rival studios have greatly reduced spending on animated films. Inside Out 2cost a reported $200 million to produce, and appears to have settled at a 90% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. By comparison, the Oscar-winning first Inside Out grossed around $860 million globally and scored a 98% approval rating on RT. You can watch Inside Out 2 in theaters, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
