‘Coraline’ Re-Release Passes $50M; ‘Inside Out 2’ Surpasses ‘Jurassic World’ on Top 10

While Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice scared up the biggest showing of the weekend, conjuring a $145.4 million global opening ($110M domestic + $35.4M from 69 overseas markets) and scoring No. 1 opens in 40 markets, animated favorites are still making box office waves.

Sharing a kinship with Burton’s sequel, which features a return to hand-crafted stop-motion effects in homage to the original, LAIKA”s stop-motion darling Coraline continues to draw crowds with its 15th Anniversary re-release. Since its re-release on August 15, the 3-D remastered film has garnered over $50M at the global box office through this weekend.

Weekend numbers from Comscore for Coraline (including projections for Sunday) show an additional $1,257,968 in domestic box office for a cume of $32.1M. Across international markets, the film picked up an additional $565,014 for the weekend for an overseas total of $18.3M and a global sum of $50.4M. In many territories, the 15th anniversary re-release exceeded the original 2009 box office. The film’s return is presented by Fathom and Trafalgar Releasing and ranks in the Top 50 releases of 2024, per Box Office Mojo.

“Everyone at LAIKA is elated by the global success of the Coraline re-release,” said David Burke, LAIKA’s Chief Marketing & Operations Officer. “In addition to becoming Fathom’s highest-grossing release in the U.S., Coraline set box office records in multiple international territories, including the U.K. and Mexico, through our partnership with Trafalgar Releasing. We’re humbled by the millions of fans around the world who came out to experience Coraline in dazzling remastered 3D on the big screen this summer, making the 15th anniversary a cultural phenomenon.”

Meanwhile, the year’s shiny-new, record-smashing CG blockbuster Inside Out 2 is now at $1,675.1M worldwide, overtaking Jurassic World (2015) as the eighth highest-grossing film of all time. The Pixar sequel’s international total has also landed the film on that all-time Top 10 chart with $1,023.2M.

As the top-grossing animated feature of all time as well as the biggest film of the year across worldwide, domestic and international charts, Inside Out 2 has worked tag-team with the No. 2 movie, Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, to make Disney the first studio to hit $4 billion in global box office takes in 2024.
