While one Disney release struggles, another keeps climbing. “Toy Story 5” has now crossed $879 million at the worldwide box office, putting Pixar’s latest within striking distance of the billion-dollar mark.
A Steady March Toward $1 Billion
The film has been a remarkably consistent performer since its record-setting $160 million debut, which shattered the franchise opening record. Rather than dropping off sharply the way many blockbusters do, it added another $45 million internationally and $18.5 million domestically in its fourth weekend, bringing its totals to $403.8 million in North America and $475.3 million overseas.
Crossing $1 billion would place “Toy Story 5” in rare company and cap an extraordinary run for a franchise now three decades old. It is on track to overtake 2019’s “Toy Story 4,” which finished at $1.07 billion, as the biggest entry in the series. Given the pace of its climb and the international markets still in play, the milestone looks less like a question of if than when.
A Bright Spot In A Rough Weekend
The timing gives Disney something to celebrate during an otherwise punishing stretch at the box office. The studio’s live-action “Moana” opened to roughly $95 million worldwide against a $250 million budget, one of the weakest debuts among its remakes. “Toy Story 5” is quietly doing the heavy lifting on Disney’s balance sheet.
It is also a reminder of the strength of animation and the enduring pull of Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang. The film has been building toward this for weeks, as we noted when “Toy Story 5” climbed to $764 million worldwide in its third weekend. You can read the latest box office breakdown at Variety.
