It is the first animated film in history to achieve this feat, having done it quicker than any other since Warner Brothers’ Barbie last year.
Since its release on June 14, it has spent the last three weekends at the top of the box office.
Riley, a small child, and the emotions (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust) she encounters as she grows up are the subject of the Pixar and Walt Disney collaboration.
Anxiety, envy, ennui, and embarrassment are added to the mix in the sequel, which was released in 2015 after the first film’s success.
The highly sought-after teen demographic (13–17) has been drawn back into theaters thanks in part to the Disney Pixar film.
“Movies that are captivating and entertaining will captivate audiences.”
Directed by Kelsey Mann, the voice cast include Amy Poehler, Maya Hawke, and Kensington Tallman.
Michael O’Leary, president and CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners, expressed his congratulations on the accomplishment, saying: “We would like to congratulate Disney’s Inside Out 2 on becoming the fastest-grossing animated film in history, having made $1 billion in its first weekend.
The film’s incredible international box office success proves once more that people want to watch interesting, enjoyable films on huge screens and that audiences throughout the globe will respond to them.
