Toy Story 5 Keeps Rolling
Toy Story 5 isn’t slowing down. The Pixar sequel is tracking for a second weekend of approximately $90 million domestically, and it has already delivered the best Monday box office performance of 2026. The film opened to a record-breaking $160 million domestic debut last weekend, making it the second-biggest opening ever for an animated film, trailing only Incredibles 2. According to Variety, that debut was the biggest of 2026 across all films.
A Historic Run Continues
The $90 million second weekend projection would represent an exceptionally strong hold for an animated film, suggesting that Toy Story 5 has the kind of broad family audience appeal and word-of-mouth that keeps movies in theaters for weeks. A film tracking near $90 million in its second frame is a sign that audiences haven’t just shown up once. They’re bringing new people with them.
Toy Story 5’s $312 million global opening weekend was the biggest of 2026 across all films, not just animation. The strong midweek numbers further cement the film as a true cultural event rather than just an opening-weekend hit, and with Supergirl opening this weekend as its primary competition, Toy Story 5 is expected to remain the dominant force at the box office.
How Does It Stack Up?
To put these numbers in perspective, a $90 million second weekend would give Toy Story 5 one of the strongest sophomore frames in animated film history. Most animated sequels see significant drops in their second week as the opening-weekend family rush subsides. A hold anywhere near $90 million would indicate that Toy Story 5 has transcended the typical animated film audience and is drawing repeat viewers, older moviegoers, and families who missed the opening weekend.
The film currently holds a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and an A CinemaScore from opening night audiences, both strong indicators that positive word of mouth will keep driving ticket sales through the summer. Toy Story 5 is shaping up to be one of the biggest films of the year, full stop.
