'Inside Out 2' surpasses 'Avengers': Now 10th highest-grossing movie ever
Disney's animated sequel, Inside Out 2, has achieved a significant box office milestone. Directed by Kelsey Mann and featuring the voice of Kensington Tallman as the character Riley, the film was released in mid-June. Since its debut, it has garnered positive reviews and demonstrated strong box office performance. The movie's success has now propelled it into the top 10 highest-grossing films list, surpassing a title from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
'Inside Out 2' surpassed 'The Avengers' in global earnings
The sequel to Inside Out (2015), Inside Out 2 has now outperformed the 2012 blockbuster, The Avengers, becoming the 10th highest-grossing movie of all time. As reported by Deadline, Inside Out 2's worldwide box office earnings currently stand at a staggering $1.524B. This figure comprises $905.1M from international screenings and $618.8M from domestic (US) showings, marking a significant achievement for the animated sequel.
Film continues its strong run, eyes the next milestone
Inside Out 2's success continues unabated, even after being in theaters for over a month and a half. Pixar executive Pete Doctor had previously revealed that the film would enjoy an exclusive theatrical window of 100 days. With consistent audience numbers and low week-to-week drops, Inside Out 2 still holds significant earning potential. The next milestone in sight is the worldwide gross of The Lion King remake from 2019, which stands at $1.663B.
'Inside Out 2's potential to surpass more high-grossing films
Inside Out 2, still amid its theatrical run, could potentially surpass more high-grossing films. The Lion King remake and Jurassic World, which earned $1.663B and $1.672B respectively, are within reach. However, it remains uncertain whether Inside Out 2 will be able to match the earnings of Spider-Man: No Way Home, currently standing at $1.923B. Regardless of future outcomes, Inside Out 2 has already proven to be a massive success for Disney and Pixar.
