IFdeals with a world filled with imaginary friends, but there’s nothing imaginary about the box office milestoneJohn Krasinski’s latest project just crossed. The film has finally passed the $100 million mark at the domestic box office this weekend, with an additional $72.6 million from international territories bringing itsworldwide total to $173.6 million.IFfinally made its way to Japan and China, almost a month after making its debut in theaters across the United States.
When it comes to other international territories,IFcontinues to perform steadily in France and Germany. However, in markets such as Australia and Mexico, the numbers have begun to decline asInside Out 2gains the attention ofIF’s target audience. The film directed byJohn Krasinskimade its debut at the domestic box office with $33.7 million back in May, and the audience’s evident support for it over the past couple of weeks has allowed it to become only the seventh release to cross the $100 million mark at the domestic box office this year.
IFintroduces Bea (Cailey Fleming), a young girl capable of seeing not just her own imaginary friend, but those who’ve been abandoned by other people. Just when the situation is about to become particularly overwhelming, Bea crosses paths with Cal (Ryan Reynolds), a man who explains that he spends his time helping imaginary friends find new children after their original companions grow up and forget them. The adventure takes place during a complicated moment in Bea’s life, with her father (played byJohn Krasinski) going through a tough medical treatment.
