This makes the Pixar film not only Disney+’s biggest film premiere of 2024, but its biggest premiere for a theatrical film since 2021, when “Encanto” debuted. Additionally, this is the service’s biggest ever premiere in both the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) as well as Latin America. (A view is calculated by dividing total stream time by runtime.)

The success of “Inside Out 2” on streaming has been unsurprising given how well it performed at the box office earlier this year, surpassing “Frozen 2” as the highest-grossing animated film of all time with $1.7 billion on a budget of $200 million. It was the first film of 2024 to cross $1 billion and remains the year’s highest-grossing even after “Deadpool and Wolverine” hit that mark. (The Marvel film landed at $1.3 billion.) Additionally, it is one of only 12 films to ever hit $1 billion at the international box office, and the sole animated title on that list.

“Inside Out 2” was also a success among critics. The film scored a TK% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Variety critic Peter Debruge calling it Pixar’s “most vivid and relatable film yet,” saying that it goes “beyond the screen to become something audiences will carry around for the rest of their days — not as tie-in merchandise or spinoff theme parks (although there will inevitably be plenty of both), but as an elegant and iconic visual metaphor for understanding their own emotions, and empathizing with others’.”

The first “Inside Out” movie has also benefitted from “Inside Out 2’s” popularity. Disney reports that the film has accrued more than 121 million views globally since the first teaser of its sequel was released.
