Pixar's animated sequel, Inside Out 2, has exceeded expectations and soared at the box office, leaving significant competition behind. Following an impressive debut in cinemas, the film has continued to attract large audiences and generate substantial ticket revenue each week.
Since its release a little over a month ago, Inside Out 2 has nearly reached $1.5 billion in earnings, positioning itself to potentially become the highest-grossing animated film ever. This achievement is something likely to be confirmed in days to come.
Currently, Inside Out 2 has more than doubled the earnings of 2024's second highest-grossing film, Dune: Part Two. According to Box Office Mojo, Denis Villeneuve's cinematic venture accumulated $712 million during its run. In contrast, Inside Out 2, after another dominating weekend, has reached a total of $1.443 billion.
At this point, it appears unlikely that any other film will surpass Inside Out 2 as the highest-grossing film of the year. The film's sustained popularity keeps it in theaters, placing it already as the 15th highest-grossing film of all time, with potential to climb even higher.
The question remains: When will Inside Out 2's remarkable box office performance finally level off?
