Disney and Pixar are jumping for joy at the success of Inside Out 2.

Last weekend, Inside Out 2 managed to set the record for the highest global opening for an animated film with $292 million. Domestically, the film grossed $154 million, which was the second-highest debut for an animated film behind only 2018’s Incredibles 2.
The Film Continues to Build Momentum
As the past week progressed, it became clear that Inside Out 2 was showing no signs of slowing down. The film topped the box office in multiple foreign markets, including record openings in Italy, Brazil, and Spain.

In addition to its record-breaking performance at the box office, Inside Out 2 has also proven to be a hit with audiences. The film currently has a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a CinemaScore “A” rating.
A Historic Second Weekend
Propelled forward by strong word of mouth, Inside Out 2 is now projected to gross over $98 million at the domestic box office in its second weekend.

It now seems certain that Inside Out 2 will top Frozen 2 to set the record for Disney’s second-biggest weekend ever. The 2019 film earned 85.9 million. Additionally, Pixar’s latest release should also beat out Universal’s Super Mario Bros. Movie for the best second weekend of all time for an animated film.
Notably, this will be the first time since Barbie was released last July that a film managed to gross over $90 million in the second weekend.

When the dust settles at the weekend’s end, Inside Out 2 will have made over $650 million at the worldwide box office.
