Toy Story 5 Dominates Box Office as Supergirl Stumbles

Strong family turnout and heavy presales have driven the Pixar sequel to early global milestones that will shape studio profits and summer rankings.

Overview

  • The Pixar sequel opened June 19 to about $160 million domestically and roughly $312 million worldwide, the biggest U.S. debut of 2026.
  • In its second weekend the film held the No. 1 spot with an estimated $70–75 million frame and pushed its global total to roughly $400 million by the start of week two.
  • Warner Bros./DC’s Supergirl opened below expectations with an estimated $38–40 million domestic weekend against a reported $170–186 million production cost, raising early questions about its theatrical profitability.
  • Box‑office tallies vary across trackers and outlets, and differing reported budgets for Toy Story 5 (commonly cited between $150 million and $250 million) mean final profit estimates depend on future holds, international receipts, and marketing costs.
  • The results have immediate studio effects: Disney’s early summer slate and merchandising have been boosted by the sequel while DC Studios faces pressure to rebuild momentum for upcoming titles if Supergirl cannot recover in overseas markets.
