Overview
- Studio estimates show the film earned about $160 million in North America and $152 million overseas for an estimated $312 million global three-day debut.
- The $160 million domestic total is the largest opening in the Toy Story series and ranks as the second-biggest animated weekend launch on record.
- The film played in roughly 4,425 North American theaters and drew strong audience response, registering a high Rotten Tomatoes score and an A grade from CinemaScore.
- With a reported production budget near $250 million, the early box office, plus merchandise and soundtrack ties, positions the release to recoup costs and vie for a billion-dollar lifetime gross.
- Final, audited weekend totals will be released Monday and industry trackers say the movie’s broad family appeal and positive reviews give it a strong chance to hold well in coming weeks against summer competition.
