Movie Monday: ‘Toy Story 5’ Hits Box-Office Bullseye

The latest Toy Story movie came with a lot of buzz—both figuratively and (given the number of Lightyear dolls we see) literally. But even so, Pixar’s favorite playthings may have outdone themselves.

Toy Story 5 rumbled to a gigantic $160 million opening in North America, according to early estimates. That’s both the biggest opening of the year (topping the $131.7 million earned by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie) and the biggest opening for the Toy Story franchise as a whole—not adjusting for inflation, of course. 

How big was Toy Story 5? Well, consider that the other 26 movies in theaters this weekend earned $70 million combined. That means Toy Story 5 alone more than doubled the earnings of the rest of the theatrical field. Stick a Forky in the competition: They’re done.

The film did nearly as well overseas, too, banking $152 million internationally. Throw those two figures together, and you’ve got a $312 million worldwide gross in one weekend worth of work.

A bevy of holdovers fill out the remainder of the weekend’s top five.

Disclosure Day was the best of the rest, locking down second place with $17 million. That brings the total haul for Steven Spielberg’s latest film to $78.3 million.

The one-two horror punch of Obsession and Backrooms is no longer the surprise it once was. But both continue to make their financers quite happy. Obsession finished third this weekend, gathering up $14.2 million to bring its overall domestic tally to $215.8 million. Backrooms finished fourth, stuffing another $7.3 million into its own potentially bottomless coffers. (Well, they may not be bottomless, but those coffers can hold at least $175.2 million domestically and $272.7 million worldwide.)

Scary Movie (2026) closes out the top five with a $6.7 million weekend. The spoof has now laughed its way to a $97.6 million domestic gross and $202 million worldwide. 

The weekend’s other prominent newcomer, The Death of Robin Hood, met its own box-office demise. It earned just $2.6 million to finish ninth behind the LGBT-themed horror flick Leviticus and its $2.7 million. The Death of Robin Hoodfamously subverted the character’s old heroic legends. Ironically, it may need its own Robin Hood to steal from the rich and give to the movie.
