Story

Inside Out 2, the sequel to Pixar's 2015 hit, has exceeded expectations with a $295 million global box office since its release in June. It has become the second biggest animated film opening in the US, following Incredibles 2. This success is a relief for Hollywood after a disappointing year in 2023. Other films like The Fall Guy failed to meet box office expectations. Despite some disappointments, films like Godzilla x Kong and Dune: Part Two have performed well. Inside Out 2's success is encouraging for the industry, surpassing forecasts and outperforming other films this year. The film's strong opening weekend has revitalized the box office, especially after a period of low ticket sales. The sequel introduces new emotions and challenges for Riley, the protagonist, as she navigates adolescence. Reviews have been positive, and the film has performed well globally, particularly in Latin America. With upcoming sequels like Despicable Me 4 and Joker: Folie à Deux, there is hope for a successful year at the box office.
