Toy Story 5 Posts Franchise-Best $160 Million Opening

Strong family turnout, critical praise, wide international sales make the film a leading summer box-office driver.

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.
