Disney and Pixar's"Inside Out 2" has tallied $724.4 million at the box office worldwide as of Sunday, making it the highest-grossing film of 2024.
"As a global phenomenon attracting moviegoers well beyond families and kids and a message that resonates and is relatable across all cultures and languages, 'Inside Out 2' is the rare film that is both a box office sprinter and a marathon runner," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore."It is the perfect candidate for admission to the billion-dollar club.
With this feat,"Inside Out 2" becomes one of only seven titles to cross $100 million in its second weekend. The others are five Disney films —"Star Wars: The Force Awakens,""Avengers: Endgame,""Avengers: Infinity War,""Black Panther" and"The Avengers" — and"'Inside Out 2's' performance is the culmination of many things," said Shawn Robbins, founder and owner of Box Office Theory.
"Inside Out 2" also drove the coveted teen demographic to cinemas, with 14% of foot traffic coming from those aged 13 to 17. This younger generation has been largely absent from the market in recent years.
