“Inside Out 2” has crossed $1 billion in international box office sales, becoming one of only 12 titles — and the first animated film — to do so.

Though 55 films have grossed $1 billion worldwide (including local and international ticket sales), only a dozen have done it solely from overseas markets – 11 of which were live-action.

While Disney’s 2019 “The Lion King” grossed a record $1.1 billion worldwide, the company classified the remake as live-action rather than computer produced, making “Inside Out 2” the first animated picture to join the coveted club.

“Inside Out 2” Tops Global Box Office, Outshines Other Disney Hits

With $1 billion in sales, “Inside Out 2” has had a global impact, but the top foreign markets are Mexico ($102.2 million), Brazil ($80 million), the United Kingdom ($72.7 million), France ($62.6 million), and Korea ($60.8 million).

Disney’s Pixar sequel is already the year’s highest-grossing film, earning $1.649 billion worldwide, including $1.002 billion overseas and $646.3 million domestically. Weeks ago, “Inside Out 2” surpassed “Frozen II” as the highest-grossing animated film in history.

Disney has had a successful summer, with two billion-dollar blockbusters, the other being the Marvel superhero sequel “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

To give you an idea of “Inside Out 2″‘s box office success among international audiences, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has made slightly more than half of that – a mighty $634.1 million — in the same set of markets. Of course, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is rated R, so its target audience is technically limited to people over the age of 18.

“Deadpool & Wolverine” has grossed $1.21 billion worldwide, surpassing “Captain America: Civil War” ($1.155 billion). It is anticipated to overtake “Iron Man 3” ($1.215 billion) to capture the No. 7 place.

Another Disney tentpole, “Alien: Romulus,” grossed $41.6 million abroad and $57.8 million globally over the weekend, bringing its total to $225.4 million. The latest sci-fi horror film has grossed $73.3 million in China, making it a rare post-pandemic success for Hollywood.

Elsewhere at the foreign movie office, two new releases — “Blink Twice” and the revival of “The Crow” — failed to make an impact. Zoe Kravitz’s psychological thriller “Blink Twice” grossed $6.7 million in 73 overseas regions. It also underperformed locally, earning $7.2 million, bringing its global debut to $14 million.

Kravitz’s directorial debut, “Blink Twice,” is allegedly budgeted at $20 million before reshoots. So it’s fairly well positioned in its theatrical run. Channing Tatum, Kravitz’s fiancée, stars in the picture as a software millionaire who invites a cocktail waitress (Naomi Ackie) to his private island for a lavish party, where things begin to turn dark. Amazon MGM is releasing the film in the United States, while Warner Bros. is managing the theatrical release in the rest of the world.

Lionsgate’s “The Crow” performed even worse, earning $3.8 million from 44 international countries and a dismal $4.6 million domestically, for a total of $8.5 million worldwide in its opening. The movie, a grisly remake of the graphic novel-turned-1994 film, stars Bill Skarsgård as a slain musician who is revived to avenge himself and his fiancée. It cost $50 million to make.

One Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) returns to the small screen on August 15 in Part 1 of Emily in Paris Season 4. The latest edition of the soapy Netflix series has been broken into two parts, similar to previous tentpole dramas like as Bridgerton Season 3 and Stranger Things Season 4.

Ten days following the premiere of Part 1, Collins shared some first look photographs for Part 2, in which Emily embarks on her Roman holiday.

Season 4, Part 2 of Emily in Paris will feature new characters.

At the blush pink red carpet for Season 4 Part 1, writers and executive producers Joe Murphy, Grant Sloss, and Alison Brown discussed one new character that audiences may expect in Part 2.

“We actually introduce a new character in the second half of the season, it’s nice to see Emily act as a Paris mentor,” Murphy told the news outlet Deadline.

“Like Mindy took [Emily] under her wing, so if she could do the same thing for someone else, we do get to explore that a little bit in the second half and it doesn’t go as well as Emily’d hoped, but that’s the show.”

Writer and EP Alison Brown hinted at a relationship with this new character.

“The character that we meet in the second half of the season is related to someone, so we get to learn more about these other characters, which is nice,” the actress remarked.

E News! provided thorough descriptions of the two photographs below, which we have not yet met by the end of Part 2.

What can viewers expect in part 2 of season 4 of Emily in Paris?

Netflix reported that Season 4 was shot in Rome, a city not mentioned in Part 1. Collins’ Season 2 photographs feature the Trevi fountain and Emily sipping an aperol spritz.

In an interview with Deadline, actor and Executive Producer Lily Collins teased some snow that will appear later in Season 4.

“We filmed a handful of episodes out of order because we shot this year throughout the autumn and winter seasons.

So we got to travel to the mountains and have snow, and we wanted to make sure we got the nicest snowfall,” she explained. “So certain episodes that are in the second drop, we ended up filming before the end of the first drop.”

Collins mentioned Emily’s probable new love interest, who was photographed by paparazzi during the show’s production.

“I can just say that there were paparazzi pictures that came out where you see that there is a new person that she’s in Rome spending time with, but I will say that Emily gets to go on a very fun Roman Holiday, and Emily wouldn’t be Emily without a little geometry lesson,” according to Collins.

What occurred in Emily in Paris season 4, part 1?

In Part 1 of the soapy Netflix series, Emily becomes more anchored in Paris and her relationships, but not the romantic ones. She must choose between Alfie and Gabriel after going out of her way to find Camille, who vanished following her major announcement last season.

Emily works on her relationship after making her decision at a masquerade ball in episode 3, but some dramatic changes by the end of part 1 call the entire ensemble’s life into doubt.

Sylvie tells the truth about working for JVMA owner Louis de Léon (Pierre Deny), while Julian leaves to work for the company, which also employs Mindy’s lover Nicolas de Léon (Paul Forman).

Meanwhile, Mindy Mindy and the band are preparing for Eurovision, but the budget will be difficult to meet.

What happened during Season 3 of Emily in Paris?

Camille called off her would-be wedding to Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) last season since she knows he and Emily have emotions for each other, but she is now pregnant.

Mindy (Ashley Park) had split out with bandmates Benoît (Kevin Dias) and Étienne (Ji Xuan Mao) in favour of childhood friend and boarding school classmate Nicolas de Léon (Paul Forman), but they have reconciled to compete in a major singing competition in Europe.

Sylvie also restored her relationship with her husband, Laurent G (Arnaud Binard).

Is there a trailer for Emily in Paris Season 4, Part 2?

The Part 2 trailer was released on August 26.

Ted Lasso’s relationship with AFC Richmond is still ongoing. The studio has secured option pickups for three key cast members, making a fourth season of the popular Apple TV+ series more likely.

Warner Bros. Television has apparently secured options for three original cast members: Hannah Waddingham, who plays AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Walton; Brett Goldstein, who plays footballer Roy Kent; and Jeremy Swift, who plays Director of Football Operations Leslie Higgins. According to Deadline on August 24, all three performers were represented by Equity, a UK acting union.

According to the site, the studio plans to contact Ted Lasso cast members with expiring SAG-AFTRA contracts to negotiate new deals. The list reportedly includes co-creators/executive producers Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), and Juno Temple (Keeley Jones). Many cast members have expressed their desire to reprise their roles in a future installment.

According to Deadline, Season 4 is subject to budget approval and timing, as performers with lapsed options may have joined other series in first position. If all goes well, production might begin in early 2025.

What did Jason Sudeikis and the cast say about Ted Lasso Season 4?

Sudeikis revealed that the initial concept for Ted Lasso was for three seasons prior to its Season 3 release. “This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell,” the 48-year-old actor told Deadline in March 2023.

At the time, he did not rule out the potential of spinoffs. “I believe we’ve set the table for a variety of people…”He added he was looking forward to seeing how these stories were told further.

In a recent interview with Collider in August 2024, co-creator Bill Lawrence expressed excitement about continuing Ted Lasso, citing the pleasant experience of making the English football comedy.

“Groupthink sometimes happens, even without talking to each other, and every actor, actress, writer, producer on that show — and [we didn’t get] together and decide this was the message — we all loved the experience,” he told me.

Lawrence pointed out that the decision is up to Sudeikis, especially because he has young children and the post requires him to relocate to a foreign nation. Sudeikis has two children: 10-year-old son Otis and 7-year-old daughter Daisy.

“Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children,” according to Lawrence. “This is a major thing. So, as a fan, if someone says, ‘Oh, it’ll happen again,’ I’ll freak out. As a partner, I’m open to whatever he wants to do.”

Ted Lasso is Apple‘s most-watched original series, earning 13 Emmy Awards over three seasons. Stay tuned for more information regarding Season 4.
