Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has become the first movie of 2024 to pass $1 billion worldwide after its third No. 1 finish in a row. The smash hit added $57 million to its domestic total, and edged out A Quiet Place: Day One, which finished in second with $53 million in its opening weekend. Inside Out 2’s new domestic total is $469.3 million, and its $545.5 million international total pushed it over the $1 billion milestone.
Only 11 animated films prior to Inside Out 2 have managed to achieve that feat. It’s also the first film since Barbie to reach $1 billion. Perhaps the most impressive part of that is the way Inside Out 2 hit $1 billion after only 15 days in theaters, a new record for an animated film. Naturally, Disney executives are very pleased by the way fans have responded to the sequel.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have reached this phenomenal milestone in record time, and it once again proves that global audiences will come out for a great movie,” said The Walt Disney Company’s Tony Chambers via People Magazine. “The film’s remarkable success is a testament not only to the incredible creativity of the Pixar team but an example of moviegoing at its very best.”
