Inside Out 2 is the first movie of 2024 to reach US$1 billion in global box office takings, and the fastest animated movie in history to do so, taking just three weeks since its release.

Locally, the animated smash enjoyed its third straight week on top of the national box office, taking another $5.93 million over the weekend. This brings its Aussie cumulative box office to $27.6 million.
