Despicable Me 4 & Inside Out 2 Dominate the Weekend Box Office
The global and international box office continues to be dominated by animation, with Universal/Illumination’s Despicable Me 4 leading the charge this weekend. Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 also maintains its impressive momentum, demonstrating strong performance after five weeks in theaters. The positive trend extends to all major titles currently in release, providing a reason for optimism in the industry.

This week, Inside Out 2 achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming Pixar’s highest-grossing movie ever globally. Furthermore, the Despicable Me/Minions franchise cemented its place in history by becoming the first animated franchise to surpass $5 billion in global box office revenue.
Despite these achievements, both films show no signs of slowing down. Despicable Me 4 has yet to open in key markets like Japan, Korea, and Italy, while Inside Out 2 is set to debut in Japan on August 1st. Industry insiders believe the Japanese market could propel the Pixar sequel past Frozen 2 to become the biggest animated film of all time worldwide.
Outside the animation genre, Paramount’s A Quiet Place: Day One is making a significant impact, recently crossing the $100 million mark overseas and reaching $200 million globally. Additionally, Warner Bros’ Twisters had a promising early start, earning $11.5 million in 38 markets, including Australia, Mexico, and Brazil. Universal will handle the domestic release of Twisters, with the film set to hit theaters on July 19th.
