In the process, Inside Out 2 has surpassed The Super Mario Bros. Movie domestically AND globally in terms of box office.
Pixar’s latest film has also entered the top 15 all-time in domestic box office. If it earns another $75 million, it’ll reach the top ten.

Worldwide, Inside Out 2 is now 16th all-time and needs another $25 million to beat Avengers: Age of Ultron to enter the top 15.
That’s a forgone conclusion, as is passing Frozen II’s $1.45 billion to become the most successful animated film ever.
