Inside Out 2‘s viewership is the best film premiere on Disney+ since Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Encanto (2021), and the No. 1 film premiere of all time in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) and LATAM (Latin America).
Since the first Inside Out 2 teaser trailer premiered to record numbers, there have been more than 121 million views of Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out (2015) globally on Disney+.
The movie opened on June 14 in theaters to $295M WW, the third debut for an animated movie ever, returning Disney to its pre-Covid box office glory. That sequel directed by Kelsey Mann crossed the $1 billion mark in 19 days — faster than any other animated film ever. It remains the highest-grossing movie of 2024, and the only animated film to ever cross $1 billion internationally. Inside Out 2 counts $652.9M stateside and a global take of $1.68 billion. The pic received an A CinemaScore and Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 95%.
The coming-of-age comedy Inside Out 2 takes place inside the mind of newly minted teenager Riley (Kensington Tallman), just as Headquarters undergoes a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions. Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Tony Hale), and Disgust (Liza Lapira) are unsure how to feel when those new Emotions—Anxiety (Maya Hawke), Envy (Ayo Adebiri), Ennui (Adèle Exarchopoulos), and Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser)—arrive.
Inside Out 2 is produced by Mark Nielsen, and executive produced by Pete Docter, Jonas Rivera, and Dan Scanlon. It features a screenplay by Meg LeFauve and Dave Holstein, from a story by Mann and LeFauve, and music by Andrea Datzman.
Disney defines a view as total stream time divided by runtime.
