Inside Out 2: A Record-Breaking Triumph
Move over, Hollywood heavyweights, there’s a new box-office champion in town. Disney-Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” is smashing records like a kid tearing through Christmas presents, amassing wins faster than The Flash. This animated marvel has just surpassed “The Avengers” with its modest $1.51 billion, claiming the title of the 10th-biggest movie ever globally.
With a unique dive into the human psyche, “Inside Out 2” proves that theatrical therapy reigns supreme, raking in an astonishing $1.52 billion. This colossal figure places it among the elite, rubbing shoulders with “The Lion King,” “Jurassic World,” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Its extraordinary success in Mexico is another feather in its cap, making it the first theatrical release in the country to hit $100 million in ticket sales.
Dominating the Domestic Box Office
On home turf, “Inside Out 2” is climbing the ranks, currently the 14th highest-grossing movie domestically. With potential to crack the top 10, it could surpass “Jurassic World’s” $652 million total revenue. Not bad for a film that began with a $200 million budget. Its record-breaking spree, which started with a near $300 million opening weekend, took a brief pause with the arrival of another animated juggernaut, “Despicable Me 4.”
Pixar’s Emotional Mastery Shines Again
Directed by newcomer Kelsey Mann, “Inside Out 2” is a powerful sequel to the original film, which grossed over $850 million in 2015 and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Both critics and audiences are raving about this sequel, as evidenced by its 91% ‘Fresh’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and an impressive 95% audience approval rating. This film marks a significant comeback for Pixar, a studio that has experienced its ups and downs in recent years.
The voice cast includes Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, Diane Lane, Kensington Tallman, Kyle MacLachlan, and newcomers Maya Hawke, Ayo Edebiri, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Paul Walter Hauser. “Inside Out 2” is rich in emotional depth and character development, making it a must-watch.
