Inside Out 2 Beats There’s Another Tomorrow: It’s a Box Office Record

In just three weeks of programming Inside Out 2, Pixar’s new film has managed to break two records: that of most watched animated film in Italy but also the one at the box office of the last year and a half. At the time of writing, in fact, Inside Out 2 raised 37,318,683 euros in Italythus beating the highest Italian box office of 2023, namely There is still tomorrowthe directorial debut film by Paola Cortellesi which collected 36,737,102 euros. The film about emotions has surpassed Barbiewhich stopped at 32.1 million euros, and is slowly approaching Avatar – The Way of Waterwhich in 2022 closed the box office at 44.8 million euros.
