Overview

  • The film, which opened Wednesday, earned more than $310 million worldwide in its first weekend according to box-office reports.
  • In Argentina the movie was the top draw for the week of June 18–24 with 916,770 attendees and has sold just over 1,000,000 tickets in its first days.
  • Pixar frames the new installment around a modern conflict in which classic toys confront a frog-shaped interactive tablet called Lilypad that shifts children’s attention away from traditional play.
  • The release drew parents who grew up with the series back to theaters alongside their children, producing high occupancy and wide margins over other new releases in Argentina.
  • The debut reinforces the franchise’s commercial power—four prior films have grossed more than $3 billion globally and Toy Story 4 topped $1 billion—which bolsters Disney and Pixar’s theatrical and merchandise revenue prospects.
