Disney's all-time box-office top 10 changes for the first time in five years as The Rise of Skywalker is pushed out by a newer film. Since Disney acquired both Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the production company has been more dominant than ever before. At the domestic box office, Disney claims both of the top spots on the all-time records, including the movies Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens and Avengers: Endgame.

As per The Numbers (via Collider), Inside Out 2 has shaken things up for the Disney top 10. The Pixar sequel has made its way into the top 10 highest-grossing Disney films of all time at the domestic box office. In order to achieve this record, Inside Out 2 beat out The Rise of Skywalker, and according to the source, it has now usurped Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as well. This puts Inside Out 2 as the ninth-highest grossing Disney movie of all time.

A Summary Of Inside Out 2’s Outstanding Box Office Records

Inside Out 2 Is The Highest-Grossing Movie Of 2024 So Far

This most recent record for Inside Out 2 continues the film's slew of impressive records during its run. Early on in its box office run, it crossed the threshold to become one of the top-ten highest grossing animated features of all time domestically, as well as one of the top 5 grossing Pixar films. Now, it is in the no. 2 slot for Pixar at the domestic box office, behind only The Incredibles 2. Among animated films as a whole, it is in the no. 3 slot domestically, behind The Incredibles 2 and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

In addition to these all-time records, Inside Out 2 is the highest-grossing movie of 2024 so far. While there is still almost half a year to go, Inside Out 2's $1.216 billion gross well-positions the film to maintain its stellar status. It is now half a billion dollars above the second place film, Dune: Part Two, which grossed $711.8 million worldwide. Inside Out 2's box office competition includes the just-released Despicable Me 4 and the upcoming movies Deadpool & Wolverine and Alien: Romulus, but its momentum is a promising sign of its continued strength.

On a smaller scale, Inside Out 2 had the largest domestic box office opening for any 2024 movie so far, at $154 million. Even its strongest box office competitor, Despicable Me 4, could not bring in anything close to that total, coming in at $75 million domestically. These box office records bode well for the well-reviewed Inside Out 2, which continues to help Disney with its box office domination for this year.
