Until now, the cult classic Dune, starring Timothée Chalamet, held the top spot in earnings. However, it has been surpassed by an animated film.
On June 14, Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 took over cinemas worldwide. This sequel to the successful animation about human emotions now explores the inner workings of a teenager’s mind.
In the brain of the young girl, construction is underway to accommodate new emotions. Riley’s moods now include nostalgia and anxiety, with anxiety starting to dominate.
