Pixar animation Inside Out 2 has continued to dominate the local box office after grossing $5.96 million, taking its total to $27.6 million after just three weeks.
It is the first film of the year to pass the $US1 billion mark globally and the fastest animated film (from 11 in total) to surpass that mark. The spectacular performance of Inside Out 2 held off Despicable Me 4, which also performed strongly in its second weekend.
The animated Steve Carell comedy took $5.39 million across 571 screens, bringing its total to $14.55 million.
Survival-horror film A Quiet Place: Day One opened in third place with $3.94 million across 496 screens. Indian sci-fi Kalki 2898 AD opened in fourth place after taking $1.65 million across 160 screens. Will Smith-Martin Lawrence cop buddy film Bad Boys: Ride or Die rounded out the top five with $926,216. It has now grossed $11.7 million in total.
Among local films, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga took $149,450 in its sixth week across 154 screens. The film has almost reached the $10 million mark and is likely to remain behind Mad Max 2, which grossed $10.84 million in 1981.
The Way, My Way added another $58,892 across 70 screens to pass $1.62 million. The Bill Bennett film has also performed well in New Zealand, which brings its combined total box office to just over $2 million.
