‘Inside Out 2’ Becomes First Animated Film to Hit $1 Billion at International Box Office
variety.comRebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter “Inside Out 2” has surpassed $1 billion at the international box office, one of 12 releases — and the only animated film — to ever cross that coveted milestone.
Though 55 films have grossed $1 billion globally (which is comprised of domestic and international ticket sales), just a dozen have managed to hit that benchmark from overseas markets alone.
And, 11 of those movies were live-action. While Disney’s 2019 “The Lion King” earned a staggering $1.1 billion internationally, the studio has categorized the remake as live-action rather than computer generated, so “Inside Out 2” is technically the first animated release to join the coveted club.
Getting to $1 billion means “Inside Out2” has resonated pretty much everywhere, but the top foreign markets are Mexico ($102.2 million), Brazil ($80 million), the United Kingdom ($72.7 million) France ($62.6 million) and Korea ($60.8 million).
