‘Inside Out 2’ is now one of the ten greatest films of all time

As its impressive box office run continues, Inside Out 2 has now reached two important milestones at the same time: it has been officially approved The Avengers on the list of highest-grossing films worldwide of all time — and in doing so, it became one of the ten biggest films in history.

This week, Inside Out 2 surpassed $1.523 billion in worldwide ticket sales. That’s slightly better than The Avengers‘ $1.520 billion, knocking Marvel’s first mega-crossover to 11th place on the all-time box office list. The sequel is now the biggest Pixar film of all time, and the second biggest Disney film, behind only the live-action remake of The Lion King.

The impressive list of films Inside Out 2 made more money than it now includes Top Gun: Maverick, Barbie, Black Panther, Frozen II, Avengers: Age of Ultronand all the movies of Fast and furious It is Harry Potter franchises.

2. Avengers: Endgame – US$ 2.79 billion

4. Titanic – US$ 2.26 billion
5. Star Wars: The Force Awakens – US$ 2.07 billion
6. Avengers: Infinity War – US$ 2.05 billion
7. Spider-Man: No Way Home – US$ 1.92 billion
8. Jurassic World – US$ 1.67 billion
9. The Lion King – US$ 1.66 billion
10. Inside Out 2 – US$ 1.52 billion

Even without the original AvengersMarvel still has three of the top ten box office hits of all time and six titles in the top 25. (Pixar has just two — The Incredibles 2 and the other.)

The phenomenal success couldn’t come at a better time for Pixar, which has had a tough few years during the pandemic when Disney released all of its titles straight to streaming. Its first release back in theaters, Light-yearwas a commercial disappointment, although they recovered somewhat last summer with Elementarywhich received mediocre reviews but became a word-of-mouth success and grossed nearly $500 million.

Still, there’s a huge difference between nearly $500 million and $1.5 billion. Pixar will try to keep its sudden wave of success going with Elio in 2025 and a new Toys Story continued in 2026.
