About Inside Out 2

Inside Out 2 is a sequel to the 2015 hit film about the inner workings of a young girl’s mind. In the second part, the main character, Riley, has become a teenager and is dealing with new emotions, including anxiety and jealousy. The original Inside Out grossed nearly $90 million in its first weekend in the summer of 2015.

Worldwide box office of Inside Out 2

According to Reuters, Inside Out 2 has already crossed the $500 million mark at the worldwide box office. According to estimates, the film earned around $155 million from ticket sales in the US and Canada in its first weekend. Pixar’s last two releases, Elemental and Lightyear, had mediocre ticket sales. Pixar’s three previous films were sent straight to streaming during COVID-19.

The results of Inside Out 2 could prove beneficial for theater owners, who have fewer movies releasing this year due to delays caused by last year’s Hollywood strike.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Disney’s executive vice president of theatrical distribution Tony Chambers said, “If there was ever any doubt, people are still willing to go to the cinema to see good movies, and there’s no better example of that than Inside Out 2, with a 92 percent critic and 96 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.”
