Inside Out 2 is the first movie of year to top US$1 billion at global box office

“Inside Out 2” has become the fastest-ever animated film to surpass US$1 billion globally, shooting past the box office milestone this weekend, just 19 days after its release.

Disney’s executive vice president of theatrical distribution, Tony Chambers says they are absolutely thrilled to have reached this phenomenal milestone in record time, and it once again proves that global audiences will come out for a great movie.

The movie is the highest grossing film of the year, and the first to pass US$1 billion since “Barbie,” which came out last July.

It also joins the ranks of eight other Disney and Pixar movies grossing more than a US$1 billion, including “The Incredibles 2,” “Finding Dory,” both “Frozen” movies and the final two “Toy Story” installments.
