‘Inside Out’ surpasses ‘Frozen 2’ to become highest-grossing animated film of all time | Wilnesh News

disney Back at the top of the box office.

On Tuesday, “Inside Out” grossed more than $1.46 billion at the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing animated feature of all time, displacing another Disney film, “Frozen 2.” Its box office will continue to grow. The film has not yet been released in Japan. The total global box office of “Inside Out” in 2015 was US$850.5 million, with Japan contributing nearly US$33 million.

The reason “Inside Out” broke box office records comes as the company has experienced a series of theatrical successes and failures, particularly with the release of its animated films.

In particular, Pixar has suffered at the box office in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Part of the reason for much of its difficulty is that Disney has chosen to launch some of its animated features directly on its streaming service, Disney+, while theaters are closed or even once theaters reopen.

As a result, prior to Inside Out 2, no Disney animated feature from Pixar or its Walt Disney Animation Studios had grossed more than $480 million at the global box office since 2019.

It’s worth noting that Disney doesn’t consider 2019’s “The Lion King” to be an animated feature film, even though nearly the entire movie is computer animated. According to the company, this is considered a live-action remake. Otherwise, it would have become the highest-grossing animated feature film, as it grossed over $1.6 billion during its theatrical run. Box office analysts stand by Disney’s classification of the movie.
