Inside Out 2 has achieved remarkable success at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing domestic film of 2024 and projected to cross $600 million globally by the end of its second weekend. The film opened with a record-breaking $154.2 million domestically and $155 million in North America, surpassing Dune Part 2 for the top spot. Internationally, it grossed $226.7 million, bringing its total to roughly $512 million. The sequel to the 2015 hit has been a much-needed win for Pixar, which had struggled with its recent releases. Inside Out 2's strong performance is expected to continue, with projections of $93-$103 million for its second weekend domestically. This success is a significant boost for theaters, which have faced fewer movie releases due to last year's strikes in Hollywood.
