Despite not yet being released in many of the top 10 international markets, including Japan, China and France, the film had a smash hit start, grossing $295 million.
This film was released in 90 countries and regions around the world, including the US, on Friday, June 14th, ahead of its release in Japan. It recorded the highest opening in the history of animation films in the first three days of its release.
In the United States, it surpassed the opening numbers of “Toy Story 4,” which was a huge hit in Japan as well, with box office revenue exceeding 10.09 billion yen, and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” a blockbuster released last year, earning $155 million, the second highest opening in the history of animation, and also achieving the No. 1 opening of 2024.
Expectations are high that this will be an even bigger hit than its predecessor, which grossed over $850 million worldwide!
In addition, the film received the highest rating of any Pixar film in the history of critics and audiences, 92% fresh and 96%, respectively, on the notoriously harsh Rotten Tomatoes website. It also received a high CinemaScore of A.
“Inside Out 2 is emotional and heartfelt, and the personification of emotions is perfect. A fantastic film for all ages, and incredibly relatable. I laughed, I cried, I truly felt every emotion, and it reminded me of the teenage years I was struggling with my own emotions. Another hit in an already hugely successful franchise.” (COLLIDER)
