Content is king! And even in 2024, when VFX and large-scale productions are thriving, this statement still holds, and the overpowering box-office success of Inside Out 2 proves it. The movie has catapulted itself into the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time and surpassed some giant titles.
It is refreshing to see that audiences worldwide are connecting with a movie with such emotional themes. In an era where only large-scale action and adventure movies were thriving, Inside Out 2 has accomplished something extraordinary, and it might just complete another big feat.
Inside Out 2 Surpasses The Avengers and The Lion King
The original Inside Out was loved by the audience, but no one predicted that Inside Out 2 would reach such great heights and leap over two significant milestones: Disney’s live-action The Lion King, and Marvel’s The Avengers.
The film has officially grossed over $1.66 billion worldwide and broken records of movies that held their spot for several years. It dethroned a live-action movie with great nostalgic value and a cornerstone of the MCU, which marked the beginning of an era of blockbuster superhero films.
The public’s reaction to Inside Out 2 has been overwhelmingly positive and fans are celebrating its achievements on social media. Animation enthusiasts and moviegoers alike have expressed their immense joy at seeing the film’s massive success.
Some have also gone against the tide and shown their preference for the original animated classic over the sequel. But the mix of opinions and ongoing conversation has only helped in creating more buzz around the movie.
Regardless of all the different perspectives, Inside Out 2 has achieved something monumental, and it might just dethrone another cinematic titan. The appeal and potential of this film seems to be immeasurable.
Inside Out 2 Inches Towards Spider-Man: No Way Home
Inside Out 2 has solidified itself on the ninth spot in the all-time-highest-grossing list. It’s natural for one to wonder whether or not the film will move up the ladder, and if it does, another MCU blockbuster might fall behind.
Spider-Man: No Way Home which is currently at the seventh spot, earned a staggering total of $1.922 billion worldwide, which means that the animated film only needs $300 million more to surpass the Marvel giant.
On paper, it seems like a huge difference to overcome, but for a movie that has already entered the billion-dollar club, it is not impossible to close the gap. As the box office continues to evolve, fans and analysts are closely watching the film’s progress as it maintains momentum and climbs even higher. So, the prospect of getting past Spider-Man: No Way Home seems even more likely.
Inside Out 2 has redefined what animated films can achieve and changed the modern cinematic landscape. The film has continued its successful run and turned out to be a lot more than just a cash-grab sequel. As a wise man once said, animation is not a genre, it is a medium.
