When a movie opens to $160M, as TOY STORY 5 just did, it suggests theatrical exhibition’s future is much brighter than Wall Street suggests.

TS5, 2026’s biggest opening, slams home the fact that moviegoers enjoy heading to cinemas with family and friends. Last year was short of product people wanted to see, but this year (as they used to say on Top 40 radio),”The hits just keep on comin’.”

Disney/Pixar Animation’s PG comedy adventure TOY STORY 5 kicked off at 4,425 theatres ($36,158), per Rentrak. It also did $152M internationally for a worldwide cume of $312M. BUDGET BUZZ: $250M to produce. Hollywood handicappers expected a domestic opening of $150-160M.

It’s tracking best for first choice with over-25 women (18 points over norm). Rotten Tomatoes critics are thumbs up at 94% and audiences are over-the-moon at 95%.

Co-directed by McKenna Harris (first feature) & Andrew Stanton (FINDING NEMO), its returning voice talents include Tom Hanks & Tim Allen. In TS5 Woody, Buzz & their pals face an all new threat from tech toys.
