'Inside Out 2' shakes up the box office with $13 million in early screenings.

Inside Out 2 currently holds the record for the highest-grossing film of 2024 in advance ticket sales, with $13 million in the North American market, according to Variety .

Box office analysts predict the film will earn $80-$90 million in its first three-day North American weekend.

Inside Out 2 is highly likely to dethrone other blockbusters from the past six months.

The film is predicted to dethrone Dune: Part Two and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to claim the top spot for the highest-grossing opening weekend of the year. These two films grossed $82.5 million and $80 million respectively during their three-day opening weekends.

Inside Out 2 continues the story from the first film (which won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature), featuring many new and emotional characters, exploring the joyful yet anxious journey of growing up for Riley. With a production budget of $200 million, it is one of the most expensive animated films ever made.

With this impressive initial "achievement," Inside Out 2 's early screening revenue surpassed most other blockbusters such as The Little Mermaid ($10.3 million in early screenings), Minions: The Rise of Gru ($10.8 million), and Toy Story 4 ($12 million).

Inside Out , the first installment, only grossed $3.7 million in early screenings in 2015, but its weekend revenue reached $90.5 million, bringing its total worldwide revenue to $858.8 million. Released a decade ago , Inside Out was among the top 10 highest-grossing films of 2015.
