Inside Out 2 surpasses Incredibles 2 as highest-grossing animated movie in the US

As a lifelong animation enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of Pixar from its humble beginnings, I must say that the success of “Inside Out 2” is nothing short of astounding. Having grown up with the original “Inside Out”, I was skeptical about a sequel, fearing it might tarnish the legacy of the first film. However, the creators have proven me wrong, and then some.


As a lifelong fan of Pixar movies, I must say it’s incredibly exciting to see “Inside Out 2” breaking new ground as the highest-grossing animated film both domestically and worldwide. Growing up, I was captivated by the emotional depth and innovative storytelling in the original “Inside Out,” so I eagerly anticipated its sequel. The fact that it has surpassed even my favorite Pixar movie, “The Incredibles 2,” is truly remarkable. It goes to show how far animation has come, and I can’t wait to see what other incredible stories Pixar will tell in the future.

As a movie enthusiast who has followed the box office trends for years, I am confidently optimistic about “Inside Out 2.” With its captivating storyline and relatable characters, this animated sequel has been consistently delivering impressive performances at the box office.

Beyond earning $1.5 billion at the international box office, the film has outperformed “Top Gun: Maverick” in revenues. It only needs to make an additional $15 million to enter the top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time, thereby displacing “The Avengers” from that position.

As a gamer, I can’t help but wonder how much more money Pixar’s upcoming masterpiece, “Inside Out 2,” might rake in at the box office. Japan is next on its list, with an eagerly awaited release slated for August 1. For context, the original “Inside Out” made a whopping $32,956,437 in Japan alone. If “Inside Out 2” manages to replicate or even surpass this performance, it would secure its place among the top ten highest-grossing movies of all time, just shy of 2019’s “The Lion King.”

The outstanding success of Inside Out 2 both in US/Canada and worldwide is a huge testament to the multi-generational, multi-global appeal of the movie’s affectionate story and world-building. Many people reconnected with Riley’s emotions from the first Inside Out, and they also gelled with the new emotions, composing of Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment. Or perhaps, numerous fans who speculated of any follow-up to Inside Out were satisfied on the results.

Regardless, Inside Out 2 proves that, with the best story and crew, they can tread the line between genuine storytelling and franchise expansion. Here is kudos to their Disney+ spinoff project.
