The 2019 remake of The Lion King had previously held the ninth position with a worldwide gross of $1.662 billion.
The film’s ascent to the ninth spot is a testament to its widespread popularity and the strong reception it has received from both critics and audiences. The success of Inside Out 2 is not only a triumph for Disney/Pixar but also a significant milestone for animated films, demonstrating their capacity to compete with blockbuster live-action movies at the global box office.
