The joyride continues for Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 which has entered the list of Top 10 highest-grossing movies ever worldwide. Now thisclose to $1.524B global ($1,523.9M) through Wednesday, the sequel has cruised past Furious 7 ($1.515B) and The Avengers ($1.521B) to land the No. 10 spot on the all-time chart.
Through Wednesday, the international box office cume is $905.1M. Mexico, where IO2 is the highest grossing movie ever, has crossed $100M, while the final release market — Japan — starts play today. Domestically, IO2 is at $618.8M through yesterday.
The Top 10 offshore markets to date are Mexico ($100.5M), Brazil ($77.3M/highest-grossing movie ever), UK ($64.9M), Korea ($58.2M), France ($55.6M), Italy ($47.1M), China ($45.9M), Germany ($44.7M), Spain ($44.4M) and Australia ($35.1M).
A little more than a week ago, the Kelsey Mann-directed charmer became the biggest animated film ever worldwide when it overtook Frozen II.
IO2 has been on a mind-blowing run since it began offshore rollout on June 12, with domestic joining on June 14. At the time, the launch weekend logged the biggest opening for an animated movie worldwide at $295M (when using current exchange rates and in like-for-like markets).
Inside Out 2 then quickly topped the $1B global milestone, getting there in just 19 days — fastest to the mark for any animated movie. It is the highest-grossing film of 2024 to date, and the only one to cross $1B so far. In early July, IO2 became Pixar’s highest-grossing film of all time worldwide.
