The Big Picture After setting global box office records in its opening weekend, Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is actually going from strength to strength. The animated sequel witnessed an expected dip on its first Monday, but bounced back in grand fashion on discount Tuesday, and is eyeing a record haul on the Juneteenth holiday domestically.
The previous Juneteenth record holder was 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion, which grossed a little over $20 million on the national holiday, which happened to fall on a Sunday that year. As far as animated releases on Wednesdays are concerned, Inside Out 2 will take the number three spot behind Universal’s Despicable Me 2, which made $35 million on its Wednesday debut back in 2013. Not far behind, The Super Mario Bros. Movie grossed $31 million on its first Wednesday last year.
The movie set a new opening weekend record for 2024, overtaking Dune: Part Two by a wide margin. Inside Out 2 will soon overtake Dune: Part Two $282 million lifetime haul in the next few days, to become 2024’s top-grossing film at the domestic box office. The movie will also surpass Kung Fu Panda 4’s $543 million lifetime haul this weekend, to claim the number two position on the global list of the year’s top-grossing films.
Only Four Pixar Films Have Grossed More than $1 Billion Worldwide Close Produced on a reported budget of $200 million, Inside Out 2opened to widespread acclaim this past weekend, and currently sits at a “fresh” 91% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The film’s audience score is even better, at 96%. In his review, Collider’s Ross Bonaime called it Pixar’s best film since Soul, which was released directly on the Disney+ streaming service in early-pandemic 2020.
The animation house needed a win, after around four years of box office under-performance and behind-the-scenes troubles. Directed by debutante Kelsey Mann, Inside Out 2 introduces a host of new “emotions” to the roster, as the teenage protagonist Riley enters puberty.
