Toy Story 5 Box Office: $160M Opening, Franchise Record

Toy Story 5 opened to $160 million in the United States and Canada over the June 19 to 21 weekend, the biggest domestic debut of 2026 and the largest opening in the franchise’s history, Disney reported. The Pixar sequel played in 4,425 theaters.

The result surpasses the $120 million debut of 2019’s Toy Story 4, the previous series record, on figures not adjusted for inflation. It also ranks as the second-largest domestic opening for an animated film, behind the $182.7 million that Incredibles 2 took in 2018. Cinemark said it marked the chain’s highest domestic opening weekend for a family film.

Overseas, Toy Story 5 added $152 million for a global total of $312 million, the biggest worldwide opening of the year, according to Deadline. The top international markets were Mexico at $26.6 million, the United Kingdom at $20 million, China at $18 million, and France at $7.2 million. Excluding China, the debut is the second-largest worldwide opening for a Pixar film, trailing only Inside Out 2’s $384 million.

The film, which reunites Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as the voices of Woody and Buzz Lightyear, opened to strong reviews. It holds a 93% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 95% verified audience score, and earned an “A” CinemaScore from opening-weekend moviegoers, which tracks audience exit polling. It is the first Toy Story film since Toy Story 4 six years ago.

What Toy Story 5 means for the rest of the year

The reception sets up a long theatrical run. Family films with high marks tend to hold well across summer, and Disney’s two most recent animated tentpoles posted lengthy runs: Inside Out 2 finished with about $1.6 billion worldwide and Zootopia 2 with roughly $1.8 billion, according to CNBC. A comparable multiplier would carry Toy Story 5 past the $1.07 billion lifetime total of Toy Story 4, the current franchise high.

The opening also resets the 2026 box office, giving the year its largest debut to date during the summer corridor that studios depend on most. With limited family competition in the weeks ahead, Toy Story 5 is positioned to anchor theaters through the season. Whether it reaches the billion-dollar tier its recent Pixar siblings hit will depend on how it holds in the weekends to come.
