Toy Story 5 Scores Year’s Biggest Debut with $160 Million, Shattering Franchise Opening Weekend Record

Kids these days might prefer tech to toys, but Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie still got it.

Toy Story 5 ruled over the box office with $160 million from 4,425 North America theaters, landing on the higher end of expectations while securing the biggest domestic debut of the year over Universal’s Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($131.7 million).



The animated sequel also ranks as the largest start in Disney and Pixar’s beloved Toy Story franchise, not adjusted for inflation, supplanting the record set by 2019’s Toy Story 4 with $120 million.

The film also scored the second-largest animated opening weekend in history, behind only 2018’s Incredibles 2 with $182.7 million.



Overseas, Toy Story 5 opened to $152 million for a sensational global tally of $312 million.

It carries a $250 million budget, not including the global marketing expenses.






In a distant second place, Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi adventure Disclosure Day added $17 million from 3,824 locations, a sharp 62% drop from its debut. Although not catastrophic, that kind of decline suggests the film isn’t resonating beyond the core demographic of older males, who grew up on Spielberg’s vast filmography.

Younger generations, meanwhile, have been gravitating toward offerings from Gen Z filmmakers like Curry Barker’s Obsession and Kane Parsons’ Backrooms.



So far, Disclosure Day has generated $78 million domestically and $82 million internationally, bringing the global total to $160 million after two weekends of release.

Since the PG-13 movie cost $115 million (and exhibitors keep about half of revenues), Disclosure Day is estimated to need around $300 million globally to be profitable.






Obsession, now in its sixth weekend of release, was surprisingly not far from Disclosure Day on box office charts with $14.2 million from 3,053 theaters.

Those ticket sales were down just 25% from the prior weekend, marking another scant decline for Focus Features’ low-budget horror sensation.

Obsession has generated a sensational $215 million domestically and $333 million worldwide, making the film a wildly profitable success.






At No. 4, Backrooms had another solid turnout with $7.3 million from 2,851 locations in its fourth frame, a 35% dip.

Another breakout horror hit, Backrooms has amassed a remarkable $175 million in North America and $301 million globally to date. It’s by far A24’s highest-grossing movie of all time, a distinction that previously belonged to Marty Supreme with $191 million.






Paramount’s Scary Movie rounded out the top five with $6.7 million from 2,725 venues, bringing domestic ticket sales to $97.4 million and $201.9 million worldwide.

Produced by Miramax for $30 million, the sixth Scary Movie is already enjoying bloody-good profit margins.






Neon’s festival breakout Leviticus opened at No. 8 with $2.74 million from 1,076 locations while A24’s R-rated The Death of Robin Hood, starring Hugh Jackman, was close behind in ninth place with $2.65 million from 1,782 locations.

Leviticus doesn’t have a grade on CinemaScore, though stellar reviews suggest the buzzy supernatural horror movie could remain a big screen draw through the summer season.






The Death of Robin Hood, a revisionist take on the oft-rebooted folk legend, meanwhile, might struggle to stick around given the mixed reviews and tepid audience scores.

The film, directed by Michael Sarnoski (A Quiet Place: Day One), holds a “C+” grade on CinemaScore and 69% on Rotten Tomatoes, neither of which bode well for box office longevity. A24 acquired domestic rights for around $4 million.






Elsewhere, Amazon MGM’s Masters of the Universe and Disney’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu managed to hold steady — with drops of 37% and 15%, respectively — though nowhere near enough to salvage their overall grosses.

Masters of the Universe will leave theaters as one of the year’s biggest bombs. The adaptation of the ’80s Mattel toy has added $5.6 million from 2,517 venues in its third weekend, bringing revenues to $56 million in North America and $101.9 million worldwide against a $200 million budget.

The Mandalorian and Grogu, a spinoff of the popular Disney+ TV series, isn’t quite as big a dud but doesn’t instill a ton of confidence in Star Wars as a cinematic property. The film dropped to seventh place with $3.9 million in its fifth outing. The space opera spinoff has earned $172 million domestically and more than $320 million globally against a $165 million price tag.

Toy Story 5 Remains No. 1 with $70 Million, Supergirl Stumbles with $38 Million Debut
by Rebecca Rubin
June 28, 2026


Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 ruled the box office again with $70 million in its second weekend of release. That’s a standard 55% decline from its huge $160 million debut.

The fifth installment in the generation-spanning franchise is poised to be one of the year’s highest-grossing releases with $297 million domestically and $585 million globally after just 12 days in theaters.

Toy Story 5 is also expected to wind up as the biggest entry in the 31-year-old franchise, a record that currently belongs to Toy Story 4 with $1.07 billion.





Supergirl struggled to take flight at the box office. The comic book adaptation, a space adventure revolving around Superman’s cousin, debuted to a disappointing $38 million from 3,600 North American theaters and $68 million globally.

Critics didn’t like Supergirl, which holds a 56% on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences appear mixed, with a “B-” grade on CinemaScore exit polls.





This weekend’s other newcomer, Jackass: Best and Last, also stumbled at the box office with $8.4 million from 2,855 venues. The film faltered overseas with $1.9 million from 19 markets for a global debut of $10.3 million.

Those ticket sales rank as the worst opening in the prank comedy series that’s all about risking life, limb and dignity. However, Jackass 5 cost just $10 million to produce, so it doesn’t need to earn much to turn a theatrical profit.





Obsession slid to the No. 3 spot, ranking behind Supergirl and ahead of Jackass: Best and Last.

Now in its seventh weekend of release, the box office juggernaut has earned $9.8 million from 2,965 locations, a mere 27% decline in ticket sales. The low-budget horror sensation has generated $233.9 million domestically and $370 million worldwide, making the film a wildly profitable success for both Focus Features and theater owners.





Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi adventure Disclosure Day rounded out the top five with $8.1 million from 3,357 venues, a 54% drop from the prior weekend.

So far, Disclosure Day has generated $94.3 million in North America and $193 million globally after three weekends on the big screen. Since the PG-13 movie cost $115 million, the film is estimated to need around $300 million globally to be profitable.





A24’s comedy The Invite, directed by Olivia Wilde, grossed $379,104 on just seven screens in New York and Los Angeles, translating to a strong $54,158 per location.

The movie’s commercial appeal will be tested as it continues to roll out in select markets before expanding nationwide on July 10.
