Disney Pixar’s Inside Out 2 got the biggest opening and soon overtook Dune: Part 2 ($711 million). The animated movie is also the first since last July’s Barbie ($162 million) to debut above $100 million.

Michael O’Leary, president and CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners seemed elated on Inside Out 2 performing extremely well at the box office. In an interview, as per Variety, he stated, “On behalf of movie theatre owners across the country and around the world, we want to congratulate Disney’s ‘Inside Out 2’ for grossing $1 billion faster than any animated movie in history.”

He added, “The film’s stunning global success once again illustrates that audiences the world over will respond to compelling, entertaining movies, and that they want to enjoy them on the big screen.”

Inside Out 2 recently surpassed the lifetime gross of its original, 2015’s Inside Out which stands at $859 million worldwide.
