This week saw major gains in both year-over-year and week-over-week, with Pixar’s juggernaut Toy Story 5 accountable for more than two-thirds of the overall. The sequel broke franchise and 2026 records while packing cinemas for the Juneteenth holiday. Next week Woody and Buzz will go head-to-head with Supergirl, which means theaters can expect real summer momentum.

$160M 3-Day Opening Weekend | $312M Global Total

Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 catapulted to the top spot in its debut frame, earning an estimated $160M from 4,425 screens for a Per Screen Average of $36,158. This is a record debut for 2026 and for the franchise itself, whose previous biggest opening was Toy Story 4‘s $120.9M in 2019. That’s also only a few million shy of the lifetime total of Hoppers ($166M), and bigger than the debuts of Moana 2 ($139.78M), Inside Out 2 ($154.2M), and The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($146.36). The only two animated hits it did not outperform were The Incredibles 2 ($182.68M) and 2019’s The Lion King ($191.8M).

Ticket buyers were 57% female and 43% male, with under 12’s representing the largest piece of the pie at 25%. The combined age 25-44 grouping (i.e. parents) were 42% of the equation, while teens and 55+ groups had 6% each. CinemaScore was a solid “A,” the same such score all entries have had except Toy Story 2, which earned a rare “A+” rating. Rotten Tomatoes was 93% critical, an excellent rating despite being the lowest in the mainline series (previous were 100%, 100%, 98%, and 97%, respectively). Audience score was 95%, while PostTrak tallied 4.5/5 from GAs.

Here’s how the 3-Day looked, including $17.5M in Thursday previews, with a notable falloff after the Juneteenth holiday…

  • Friday – $71M
  • Saturday – $47.5M
  • Sunday – $41.5M

Here’s how demographics looked…

  • Cuacasian – 37%
  • Hispanic – 32%
  • African American – 13%
  • Asian – 9%
  • NATAM/Other – 9%

Overseas Toy Story 5 matched domestic on the international front with an estimated $152M from 48 material territories, bringing the global total to $312M. Top 3 markets were Mexico ($26.6M), UK ($20M), and China ($18M). The only remaining markets yet to open are Japan, Germany, Austria, and Hong Kong.

Other Notable Performances

As expected, Universal’s Disclosure Day took a big hit in its sophomore frame, earning an estimated $17M, a -62% drop, in the #2 spot, on the lower end of our panel’s forecast. The Steven Spielberg die-hards showed up for Frame 1, but slightly tepid word-of-mouth and low youth appeal meant this would not be another blockbuster for the iconic director. Domestic total stands at $78.28M, well on its way to passing the century mark in the next week or so. International is pacing with domestic, taking $18.7M from 81 territories for a $160.4M global total.

A24’s revisionist The Death of Robin Hood was poor out of the gate, earning $2.6M from 1762 screens for a PSA of $1,488. Critics were lukewarm with 69% on RT, 67% audience score, and, most telling, a very low “C+” CinemaScore, indicating ticket buyers did not appreciate the downbeat approach to their folk hero.

Next Weekend

Next frame, Warner Bros. will find out if last year’s Superman success was a fluke or a beacon of what’s to come when it drops Supergirl, featuring Milly Alcock’s punk rock version of the DC Comics superhero who debuted in last year’s film alongside cousin Kal-El (David Corenswet, who returns for this outing). With kids and teens covered by Supergirl and Toy Story 5, Paramount is swinging in with the R-rated counter-programming with Jackass: Best and Last, the fifth and “final” installment in the Johnny Knoxville-led gross-out series, which has amassed over $350M domestic.
