Inside Out 2 is Close to Breaking a Record for Disney Everyone Hoped The Marvels and Ant-Man 3 Would Do the First
Pixar Animation Studios is doing for Disney what MCU couldn’t. Inside Out 2’s commercial fame has already surpassed The Marvels and Ant-Man 3 by a significant margin. The sequel to the 2015 movie has outgrossed the original and is well on its way to breaking some more records with its performance.
Inside Out 2 is a sequel to the 2015 movie, Inside Out, which was directed by Pete Docter. This new movie is directed by Kelsey Mann and since its release on June 14, 2024, it has been a delight to the viewers.
Inside Out 2 Might Defeat Ant-Man 3 and The Marvels In This One Regard Soon
This year welcomed Pixar’s Inside Out 2 less than 3 weeks ago and Disney is already raking in millions. The family-comedy movie is celebrating its success with every passing day as fans all over the world are satisfied with the content. With the introduction of four new emotions i.e. Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Envy, viewers have found the sequel even more interesting.
Disney is probably just as excited as the fans about Inside Out 2 considering the box office performance of the movie. As of the writing of this article, the movie has already grossed $863 million at the worldwide box office (via Forbes). What is even more unbelievable is the fact that the movie was set against a budget of just $200 million.
Disney expected such returns from The Marvels and Ant-Man 3, however, both the movies didn’t bring much to the table. While the former earned only $206 million, the latter earned just $476 million. By this measure, since Inside Out 2 already has a high gross much before the end of its theatrical run, it will leave the aforementioned movies behind to hit the $1 billion mark.
