TOY STORY 5 OPENS WITH $312 MILLION GLOBAL BOX OFFICE

Toy Story 5 generated an estimated $160 million in domestic ticket sales during its opening weekend, according to box office records, securing the largest opening of 2026. The film earned a further $152 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $312 million. The fifth instalment surpassed the previous franchise debut record of $120 million, set by Toy Story 4 in 2019, and outperformed all other animated features except 2018's Incredibles 2, which opened with $182.7 million.

The Toy Story franchise has generated over $3 billion in theatrical revenue across all films before this release, with Toy Story 4 exceeding $1 billion alone. The Walt Disney Co. has derived additional billions from merchandise sales connected to the series. Toy Story 5 was produced with a budget of $250 million, excluding marketing expenditure. The film returns the original voice cast, featuring Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and Joan Cusack as Jessie, and follows a narrative in which the toys become sidelined after Bonnie receives a new tablet.

The franchise's revival 31 years after the original film's release was initially met with some controversy, according to available accounts, yet has demonstrated significant financial success. Toy Story 4 appeared to offer a definitive conclusion to the series before the decision to produce a fifth instalment nearly a decade later. The film is positioned to cross the $1 billion threshold in global ticket sales, matching the achievement of its predecessor.
