Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is poised to become the studio’s biggest all-time global hit, eclipsing Finding Dory’s lifetime gross domestic box office record. With a running domestic total of nearly $490 million, the film is expected to surpass Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 in the coming days. The film’s Monday numbers saw a significant increase compared to the previous day, thanks to discounted ticket prices, taking the film’s running domestic total to just under $490 million, putting it on track to pass the $500 million milestone in a few days.

The film has now surpassed Finding Dory’s $486 million lifetime gross, making it the second-biggest domestic box office hit in Pixar’s history. This marks a welcome return to form for Pixar after several disappointing years. Debuting to positive reviews, Inside Out 2 currently sits at a “fresh” 90% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with critic acclaim exceeding that of the Oscar-winning first Inside Out, which concluded its global run with around $860 million.

Globally, Inside Out 2 ranks eighth on the all-time chart for animated films, with a total of $1.056 billion. With its current pace, it’s likely to surpass the lifetime hauls of Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 in the coming days. The film is also expected to surpass Incredibles 2’s $1.24 billion lifetime global haul and the first Frozen’s $1.27 lifetime global haul. However, it may struggle to climb past the top two highest-grossing animated films, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Frozen II.

Inside Out 2’s impressive box office numbers and critical acclaim have cemented its place as one of the top-grossing animated films of all time. The film’s ability to appeal to audiences of all ages has been a key factor in its success, with its themes of emotional intelligence and growing up resonating with viewers worldwide.
