Pixar's ''Inside Out 2'' continues its box office domination, raking in a whopping $100 million in its second weekend, setting a new record for animated movies. The film has already grossed $724.4 million globally and is set to surpass the $1 billion mark soon, making it the first film to do so since Barbie. This unexpected success has revitalized Hollywood as the industry sees a much-needed blockbuster amid a slump in ticket sales. The film's triumph has also highlighted the importance of mass-audience appeal and the potential for sequels within the animation genre. With upcoming Pixar releases such as ''Toy Story 5'' on the horizon, the success of ''Inside Out 2'' demonstrates the ongoing appeal and profitability of animated films. The film's success has also had a positive impact on the overall box office as other films, like ''The Bikeriders'' and ''Bad Boys: Ride or Die,'' see strong numbers.
