How Much Higher Will Inside Out 2’s Box Office Go?
The Pixar Movie Isn’t Done Yet
Inside Out 2hit theaters about a month and a half ago now, which, for many films, would mean that its theatrical run is winding down. Prior to the film’s release, however, Pixar executive Pete Doctor revealed that the sequel would enjoy an exclusive theatrical window of 100 days. With week-to-week drops being impressively low as audiences continue to check the film out in theaters, there’s reason to believe thatInside Out 2still has plenty of gas left in the tank.

The Inside Out 2 cast is missing some major players from the first film, but the Pixar sequel brings back plenty of iconic voice actors.
The next film thatInside Out 2’s box officecould overtake is 2019’sThe Lion Kingremake, which grossed $1.663 billion worldwide. SinceInside Out 2isn’t even halfway through its theatrical run yet, it certainly has the potential to overtake Jon Favreau’s hit movie to become the ninth highest-grossing movie of all time.Jurassic Worldisn’t far aboveThe Lion Kingat $1.672 billion, which means it’s also at risk of being surpassed.
Things start to become more uncertain beyondJurassic World, as the next highest-grossing film isSpider-Man: No Way Homeat $1.923 billion. It’s unlikely thatInside Out 2will reach these heights if it does manage to beatThe Lion KingandJurassic World. Even so,Inside Out 2is a massive success, and the film is evidently a major relief to theaters after the first half of the year featured some unfortunate box office disappointments.
