411 Box Office Report: Toy Story 5 Sets Franchise Record To Take #1

Pixar returned to top form at the box office this weekend with an old reliable as Toy Story 5 set records for the franchise. The fifth entry in the studio’s most iconic franchise claimed the #1 position for the weekend with $160 million. That blows past Toy Story 4’s $120.9 million for the best opening in the series to date, and the second-best opening ever for an animated film, behind only Incredibles 2’s $182.6 million.

The opening was slightly above expectations coming into the weekend, which had it at $150 million or so. It’s another step in the rehabilitation of Pixar, which got off to a good start in 2026 when Hoppers opened to a solid $45.3 million. Of course, the studio’s sequels are always on another level compared to their original entries, so the disparity between these two films was fully expected.

The Toy Story franchise has been a shining jewel for the studio since its inception (no, we are not including Lightyear for the purposes of this discussion), and Toy Story 5 is no exception. The film came into the weekend with not only franchise-based anticipation, but also very positive buzz. The film earned a 94% aggregate score among critics on Rotten Tomatoes — the lowest of the franchise, but still obviously fantastic. The 95% RT audience rating and A CinemaScore show that audiences are loving it too. Basically, this was a surefire hit for the studio, and it delivered just that.

The film is also doing well overseas, launching to $152 million for a $312 million worldwide total. Expect this one to have a little less amazing legs than the rest of the franchise; the higher opening more or less guarantees as such. But even if we go below the weakest legs in the series, Toy Story 5 should be able to triple its opening weekend. That means that $450 million is a sure thing and $500 million is not out of the question by any stretch. Even with a franchise high budget of $250 million, this is going to be a big hit.

Disclosure Day felt the bite of the competition, as the Steven Spielberg-directed sci-fi thriller dropped 62% in its second frame. The film brought in $17 million, bringing its totals to $78.2 million in the US and $160.4 million worldwide. Those are very decent numbers, though not spectacular, for this $110 million-budgeted film. Disclosure Day is not going to be a massive hit for Universal Pictures, but it should still be able to reach $100 million in the US, and the overseas numbers should propel it high enough that it makes the studio a bit of profit.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but Obsession again had a low drop for the weekend. The Curry Barker-directed horror film was down just 25% in its sixth weekend to take in $14.2 million. That puts the microbudgeted movie at an eye-popping $215.8 million domestically and $333.3 million worldwide against a budget of $1 million. It is now the sixth-highest domestic grossing horror film and will likely pass The Exorcist’s $231 million soon enough. Worldwide, it’s now #20 on the all-time horror list. The One Wish Willow’s endgame could even gross the $250 million mark if it holds out for a little longer.

Backrooms held its position at #4, down a decent 37% to $7.3 million in its fourth weekend to $11.3 million. The liminal horror flick is also a massive hit with $175.2 million stateside and $277.5 million worldwide, with the budget just $10 million. It’s now looking like it could conceivably cross $200 million domestically, but $190 million is its more likely finish line.

Scary Movie stabilized after last week’s heavy drop, shedding 53% to tally $6.7 million. The horror spoof is already wildly profitable with $97.6 million in the US and $202 million worldwide on a $30 million production budget. It looks like it should end at around $110 million, the same place Scary Movie 3 ended albeit on a lower budget.

Masters of the Universe had a good hold after it dipped hard last weekend, off just 37% to $5.6 million. That hold is too little, too late but Amazon MGM will take what they can get at this point. The reboot has grossed $56.9 million domestically and $101.9 million worldwide, but the $170 million budget is a killer. It’s probably finishing at $70 million in the US.

The Mandalorian & Grogu is also disappointing but will probably more or less break even. The Star Wars brought in another $3.9 million, a drop of just 19% from last frame, and is now at $171.8 million stateside and $322.3 million worldwide against a $165 million budget. It will probably close in domestically around $177 million or so.

We had some counterprogramming in the bottom half of the top 10, first with Leviticus from Neon. The queer horror film opened at $2.7 million, which was more or less where this festival favorite was expected to start. The film is far from a crowd-pleaser and just had too much other horror competition to open much stronger than this, despite strong reviews (82% on RT) and decent word of mouth (83% RT audience rating). Leviticus will be in fine shape, as Neon knows this will play best on home viewing. There’s no word on the Australian film’s budget, but it should finish out around $7 million or so.

The Death of Robin Hood suffered — well, a death at the box office. A24’s adventure film starring Russell Crowe as an older take on the outlaw brought in a mere $2.6 million. That’s well below the middle to high single digits start that was hoped for.

Death of Robin Hood was always fighting an uphill battle in a current marketplace where pretty much every demographic is accounted for. But the merely okay reviews (70% on RT) sealed its fate, as did the lackluster word of mouth (66% RT audience rating and a lousy C+ CinemaScore). The $20 million budget doesn’t have a prayer of being made back at the box office, so A24 will need to hope for strong ancillary viewing. It should finish with around $6 million.

Michael closed out the top 10 with a 48% drop to $2.2 million. The music biopic has now totaled $367.9 million in the US and $939.1 million worldwide against a $155 million production budget. It’s of course a massive hit and will end in the US around $370 million.

Toy Story 5 should retain the top spot next weekend, as even a heavy fall won’t be enough to unseat it. Warner Bros.’ latest DCU film is arriving with Supergirl, which is targeting around $50 million to $55 million to start. Paramount’s Jackass: Best and Last should have a mid-to-high teens launch.
