“INSIDE OUT 2” IS THE NO. 1 FILM PREMIERE ON DISNEY+ IN 2024, DRIVING 30.5 MILLION VIEWS GLOBALLY IN 5 DAYS
No. 1 Film Premiere Ever on Disney+ in EMEA and LATAM
LONDON, United Kingdom. (October 1, 2024) – Following a record-breaking theatrical run, Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2—the highest-grossing animated movie of all time—set even more records following its Disney+ debut.
Inside Out 2 drove 30.5 million views globally on Disney+, based on five days of streaming, making it the No. 1 film premiere on Disney+ in 2024, the No. 1 Theatrical 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).
Additionally, excitement for the sequel drove viewers to revisit the original in huge numbers: 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 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 directed by Kelsey Mann, 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.
Released in theatres June 14, Inside Out 2 continued to set new records throughout the summer. In addition to opening to record numbers, it enjoyed a massive second weekend and crossed the $1 billion mark in just 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. The film has been a hit with audiences and critics alike, as it's Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes™, has an "A" CinemaScore, and boasts a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 95%.
