Pixar's 'Inside Out 2' has achieved remarkable success at the box office, breaking multiple records. The film grossed $101 million in its second weekend, making it the seventh film ever to do so. It also set an all-time record for an animated movie's second weekend, surpassing 'Super Mario Bros Movie'. 'Inside Out 2' has dethroned 'Dune: Part Two' as the highest-grossing movie of the year, with a domestic total of $285.6 million and a global total of $762.1 million. The movie holds the best second-weekend hold for a blockbuster in history, with only a 35.1% drop from its opening weekend. The film's strong performance is attributed to its appeal to Gen Z-ers who were children when the first film was released and are now adults with purchasing power. The movie has also been well-received internationally, with significant earnings in markets such as Mexico, the U.K., and South Korea.
