Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 has achieved remarkable box office success, earning an estimated $160 million during its opening weekend. This performance establishes the film as the highest-grossing opening of 2026 to date, surpassing previous records set by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. International audiences contributed another $152 million, bringing total global earnings to an impressive $312 million for the three-day debut. Despite a substantial $250 million production budget, the film is positioned for significant profitability with glowing reviews and strong audience scores. The story features Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie confronting a new antagonist named Lilypad, an edutainment smart tablet threatening to take away children’s playtime. The classic voice cast returns alongside notable newcomers including Greta Lee, Keanu Reeves, Alan Cumming, and Bad Bunny. Taylor Swift contributed an original country song titled I Knew It, I Knew You to the soundtrack. With such a powerful start and positive word-of-mouth momentum, Toy Story 5 is expected to join the exclusive billion-dollar club alongside its predecessors.
