The last three years of the box office are best described as cycles of feast or famine — long slumps followed by huge hits. It happened with “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” in 2022, and 2023 brought us the Barbenheimer phenomenon.

And now, with the first-ever $100 million second weekend from an animated film, “Inside Out 2” has put an end to the two-month famine that ravaged the beginning of the 2024 summer movie season. A massive feast is here.

After just two weekends, Disney and Pixar’s critical and commercial smash hit sequel has amassed $355 million at the domestic box office and $724 million worldwide, passing “Dune: Part Two” as the year’s highest grossing film.
