Pixar’s Inside Out 2: A Box Office Phenomenon
Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has proven to be nothing short of a phenomenon. The animated sequel has captivated audiences of all ages, pulling in an impressive $57.4 million in its third weekend alone. In doing so, Inside Out 2′s domestic total now stands at a staggering $469.3 million. This newly announced achievement places it as Pixar’s third-highest-grossing film in terms of the domestic market, trailing only Finding Dory and Incredibles 2. Globally, the movie has raked in $1.014 billion, making it the fifth highest-grossing Pixar film worldwide.
