‘Toy Story 5’ Already Breaking Box Office Records

Disney/PixarToy Story 5 has already been crowned the best film of 2026, taking first place for the biggest preview from Michael after earning 17.5 million compared to the pop star biopic’s 12.6 million. The fifth installment of the Oscar-winning Pixar series is expected to make at least 145 million domestically during its opening weekend, with some experts even predicting it could reach 175 million. If these estimates hold true, Toy Story 5 could be the biggest launch of the year, surpassing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s opening. The film, featuring beloved characters Woody, Buzz, and Jessie battling technology in the form of a smart tablet, was produced on a 250 million budget with tens of millions more spent on marketing. If international box office revenue reaches the projected 135 million in its opening weekend, the film will generate massive profits for Disney.
