U.S. studio Pixar's animated film "Inside Out 2" surpassed 3 million admissions at the Korean box office Saturday, the film's local distributor said.

The coming-of-age movie hit the milestone on its 11th day of release, seven days faster than "Inside Out" (2015), according to Walt Disney Company Korea.

If the current trend continues, the sequel is expected to easily surpass the previous film, which was seen by 4.97 million people.
