Pixar is not just back; it is now claiming the throne as it created the biggest hit of the year and one of the biggest hits ever. “Inside Out 2” was a success inside out, and not only did fans show their love through positive reviews and ratings, but “Inside Out 2” is also a ginormous success at the box office.
The film grossed $1 billion this week, becoming the first film to reach that mark this year.
While it was projected that “Inside Out 2” would achieve this milestone, the film managed to do it with great consistency. In almost 15 days, the film reached the billion-dollar finish line.
Talking about the most profitable markets, it is obvious that the domestic market of the USA and Canada leads with $369.3 million. But Mexico comes up with a bang, contributing $81.9 million for an international film, which is more than commendable. It was then followed by countries like the UK, Korea, Brazil, and Italy. As of now, it is clear that “Inside Out 2” is winning hearts worldwide.
Becoming the first billion-dollar movie of the year, “Inside Out 2” definitely encourages the animation industry down the line. It also manages to break the Disney monotony for fans, showing that Pixar still has the charm it once had.
Though several animated films have grossed far more than “Inside Out 2,” such as “The Lion King” (2019), “Frozen II” (2019), and “Incredibles 2,” “Inside Out 2” could find its place in the top five if it has one more good weekend.
