Topline

Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, with over $1.4 billion in box office sales since its release last month, multiple outlets reported Wednesday, as the animated sequel proves to be the hit of the summer.

Key Facts

After just six weeks, “Inside Out 2” has grossed a whopping $1.46 billion, including $861 million internationally and $601 million in the U.S., Deadline and Variety reported.

The animated sequel, starring Amy Poehler, Maya Hawke, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black and Tony Hale, surpassed 2019’s “Frozen II” ($1.45 billion), 2023’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ($1.36 billion), and 2013’s “Frozen” ($1.29 billion), according to Box Office Mojo.

“Inside Out 2,” Pixar’s sequel about the emotions inside teenage hockey star Riley’s mind, became the first film of 2024 to hit the coveted $1 billion mark globally late last month, after 19 days in theaters.

Two weeks later, the animated smash hit became Pixar’s highest-grossing movie, outpacing its predecessor ($857.6 million worldwide), as well as a group of sequels, including “Incredibles 2” ($1.2 billion), “Toy Story 4” ($1.1 billion), “Toy Story 3” ($1.1 billion) and “Finding Dory” ($1 billion).

Big Number

$711.8 million. That’s how much the Timothee Chalamet/Zendaya sci-fi sequel “Dune: Part Two” has grossed worldwide since its opening in March, including $282.1 million in the U.S., making it the second-highest grossing movie of 2024, according to Box Office Mojo. The highly anticipated sequel came out on top of “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” ($567.7 million worldwide) and “Kung Fu Panda 4” ($545.6 million).

Contra

Even with a handful of blockbusters this summer, 2024 has primarily been marked by box office duds, perhaps most disappointing among them being the poorly reviewed “Spider-Man” spin-off “Madame Web,” which pulled in a disappointing $100.3 million worldwide, and $43.8 million domestically. The poor showing at theaters comes as Hollywood continues to reel from COVID-era shutdowns and as streaming platforms increasingly release feature films for viewers to watch in the comfort of their own homes. The worst of the worst this year among wide releases (at least 3,000 theaters) so far has been comedy-horror “Lisa Frankenstein,” which raked in $9.9 million worldwide.
