Comments

Pixar's Inside Out 2 has become the first movie of 2024 to pass $1 billion worldwide after its third No. 1 finish in a row. The smash hit added $57 million to its domestic total, and edged out A Quiet Place: Day One, which finished in second with $53 million in its opening weekend. Inside Out 2's new domestic total is $469.3 million, and its $545.5 million international total pushed it over the $1 billion milestone.

Only 11 animated films prior to Inside Out 2 have managed to achieve that feat. It's also the first film since Barbie to reach $1 billion. Perhaps the most impressive part of that is the way Inside Out 2 hit $1 billion after only 17 days in theaters, a new record for an animated film. Naturally, Disney executives are very pleased by the way fans have responded to the sequel.

"We're absolutely thrilled to have reached this phenomenal milestone in record time, and it once again proves that global audiences will come out for a great movie,” said The Walt Disney Company's Tony Chambers via People Magazine. "The film's remarkable success is a testament not only to the incredible creativity of the Pixar team but an example of moviegoing at its very best."

Kevin Costner's passion project, Horizon, had a third-place finish, with only $11 million in its debut. Meanwhile, Bad Boys: Ride or Die's fourth-place finish with $10.3 million and $165.2 million to date has it poised to pass Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes as the summer's second-most successful movie. Kalki 2898 AD took the fifth slot with $5.4 million, and a $10.96 million total.

The Bikeriders pulled up in sixth with $3.3 million, and a new running total of $16.2 million. The Garfield Movie had a minor roar in seventh place with $2 million towards its $89.6 million total. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is still hanging around in the eighth slot with $1.5 million and $168.1 million so far. Rounding out the top 10 were Jatt & Juliet 3 with $1.5 million and Kinds of Kindness, which added $1.5 million to reach $2 million total in its limited release.
