While I’m here each Sunday to break down all the fun bits about the weekend’s box office, I’m sure nobody needs to hear from me that Toy Story 5 took the No. 1 spot upon hitting the 2026 movie release calendar. Of course it did, and of course it broke records along the way. For instance, its $160 million is the most any movie in the franchise has made in its first three days, and by a large margin.
For me, though, the biggest mystery coming into today was how last week’s winner Disclosure Day would fare in its second weekend in release — and if it could hold off the trio of horror movies that have taken possession of the Top 5 for so long that Backrooms’ Kane Parsons has even turned 21 since then. He was 20 years old.
Take a look at the Top 10 below, per The Numbers, then we’ll get into just how monumental Toy Story 5’s debut was and if Steven Spielberg’s aliens have a long-term chance against the One Wish Willow, the liminal spaces below Clark’s furniture store and the Wayans Brothers.

Toy Story 5 Is The Biggest Domestic Release Of The Year So Far
So just how good is that $160 million? For one thing, it knocks The Super Mario Galaxy Movie out of the top spot for having 2026’s biggest premiere weekend. The Universal video game sequel opened to $131.7 million back in April.
As for worldwide debuts, however, Mario retains first place. Toy Story 5 added $152 million internationally for a global total of $312 million. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie opened to $372.5 million, but that total included more international markets than the Pixar product, as well as Wednesday and Thursday showings.
Toy Story 5’s opening already puts it in the Top 10 of the year’s highest-grossing movies — at No. 9 behind Hoppers domestically ($166 million) and No. 9 behind The Mandalorian & Grogu globally ($321.8 million). I’d say we should expect to see Tim Allen, Tom Hanks and Joan Cusack’s animated film continue to climb those ranks.
Pixar is likely extremely happy with ticket sales this weekend, as Toy Story 5 had the second-best opening for an animated movie in the U.S. and Canada after the studio’s own Incredibles 2 ($182.6 million), as well as Pixar’s best worldwide opening of all time (excluding China) behind Inside Out 2 ($384 million).
With a budget of $250 million before marketing costs, Toy Story 5 likely needs to make around $600 million to break even, and it’s well on its way after a strong first three days and lots of summer to go.
How Toy Story 5's Premiere Compares To The Rest Of The Franchise
We know that this weekend's release was the best of the franchise, but just how did the other movies fare in comparison? Below you'll find every Toy Story movie's domestic opening-weekend pull:
- Toy Story 5 (2026): $160 million
- Toy Story 4 (2019): $120.9 million
- Toy Story 3 (2010): $110.3 million
- Toy Story 2 (1999): $80.5 million*
- Toy Story (1995): $29.1 million
*Toy Story 2 ran in one theater for five days before its wide release on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in 1999. This total reflects its earnings through that Sunday.
Leviticus Didn’t Make The Same Splash As Other Recent Horror Flicks
As for the week’s other new releases, Leviticus failed to make the same splash as other recent horror flicks — specifically the ones from YouTubers Kane Parsons and Curry Barker — despite reviews saying it gave moviegoers “goosebumps,” and The Death of Robin Hood also was a tough draw for audiences. Those premiered at No. 8 and 9 for the week, so let’s see how critics and audiences scored those:
RANK/TITLE | RT CRITICS | RT AUDIENCES | CINEMASCORE |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Toy Story | 94% | 95% | A |
2. Leviticus | 93% | 82% | N/A |
3. The Death of Robin Hood | 70% | 65% | C+ |
Disclosure Day Fights Off Obsession, For Now
As we can see from the chart, Emily Blunt’s highly regarded performance helped Disclosure Day drop only one spot in the box office Top 10, but it certainly wasn’t a runaway victory. Steven Spielberg’s fifth alien movie bested the year’s hottest horror movie by less than $3 million, falling 62% from its first weekend’s earnings.
That’s not a completely devastating drop, but with a budget of $115 million, it probably needs between $250 million and $300 million to break even. After 10 days in theaters, Disclosure Day has earned $160.4 worldwide, and losing that big of a chunk of audience makes me a tad nervous about its run.
Obsession Finally Falls Below Its Week 1 Earnings
It was certainly no surprise to me that following Toy Story 5 and Disclosure Day in the box office rankings that the rest of the Top 5 were populated by horror movies. Obsession has been the biggest surprise, earning $17.2 million in its first weekend before seeing that number jump for the next two consecutive weekends.
It’s simply unheard of, and now — after six weekends in release — Obsession’s three-day domestic total of $14.2 million is lower than its initial pull for the first time.
Global Milestones Have Been Hit
- Scary Movie crossed the $200 million benchmark this weekend, with international markets adding $104.4 million to its domestic total so far of $97.5 million for a worldwide $201.9 million.
- Masters of the Universe itself crossed into nine-digit territory, combining its North American earnings of $56.9 million with an overseas total of $45 million for a global sum of $101.9 million.
Next Week: It's A Bird, It's A Plane ...
No, it's not Superman, but it is his drunker, more jaded cousin Supergirl. The DCU antihero will fly into theaters with an expected debut of between $39 million and $51 million. First reactions were positive for Milly Alcock and for Jason Momoa as Lobo, so I'm excited to see where this falls in next week's Top 10.
We'll also see the premiere of Jackass: Best and Last, which should see between $12 million and $18 million.
Be sure to hit the theater sometime this week, then join me back here Sunday to see where everything lands.
