Inside Out 2 has passed a major milestone at the domestic box office. The Pixar sequel to their 2015 hit sees the return of familiar characters who represent the emotions of young girl Riley (Kensington Tallman), including Joy (Amy Poehler) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith), who must deal with an influx of new emotions such as Envy (Ayo Edebiri) and Anxiety (Maya Hawke) as Riley approaches puberty. The Inside Out 2 box office opened with a bang with a domestic debut of $154.2 million, which was the best opening weekend since Barbie debuted in July 2023.
Per Deadline, the Inside Out 2 box office has climbed past the half-billion mark in the domestic marketplace. This news has come shortly after the movie passed $1 billion worldwide. As of Friday morning, its cumulative domestic total is $503.6 million going into the Fourth of July holiday weekend, during which it will likely continue to draw audiences despite competition from the new release animated hit Despicable Me 4, which is also a sequel from a prominent franchise.
