Depending on how Sunday plays out, Disney/Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” could make box office history as the first animated film — and only the seventh overall — to gross $100 million in North America on its second weekend in theaters.
As it stands, Disney is currently estimating that the sequel will reach that $100 million mark right on the button, giving it a running domestic cume of $355 million. That’s $4 million ahead of the pace of “Barbie” after 10 days.
With this pace, “Inside Out 2” is now a lock to become the first Disney-released animated film to gross $1 billion worldwide since “Frozen II” in the winter of 2019, having passed “Dune: Part Two” with $724 million worldwide to become the highest grossing film of the year after just two weekends.
