Toy Story 5 Achieves Best Monday of 2026 with .3 Million at Domestic Box Office

In a remarkable demonstration of market resilience, Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5” garnered an impressive .3 million at the domestic box office on Monday, establishing a new benchmark for initial weekday performances in 2026. This figure surpasses the previous record set by the “Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” which earned .8 million during its inaugural Monday on April 6. Furthermore, “Toy Story 5” also outpaced Disney and Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu,” which brought in .4 million on its Memorial Day Monday.

The animated installment, directed by Andrew Stanton, has seen its cumulative earnings in the U.S. and Canada reach an astounding 7 million over its first four days of release. Alan Bergman, Chairman of Disney Entertainment Studios, expressed enthusiasm for the film’s success, noting the franchise’s longstanding tradition of connecting with audiences since the original “Toy Story” premiered over three decades ago. Bergman attributed the film’s achievement to the efforts of a dedicated team of filmmakers, marketers, and distributors dedicated to making this milestone possible.

In terms of historical context, “Toy Story 5” achieved the fifth-highest Monday earnings for any June release to date. It ranks behind notable titles such as Universal’s “Jurassic World” (.3 million), Disney/Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” (.6 million), “Inside Out 2” (.4 million), and “Finding Dory” (.5 million), positioning the film as the fourth-best Monday for an animated feature in June.

As of now, “Toy Story 5” is poised to dominate the box office in its second weekend, with analysts anticipating it to hold the top spot against Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ upcoming film “Supergirl,” projected to earn around million upon its opening. Current estimates suggest a potential decline of 40% to 45% in ticket sales for “Toy Story 5,” with a projected weekend range between million and million. This performance would only continue to solidify its standing as one of the top grossing animated films of the year, following the record set by “Inside Out 2,” which had an impressive second weekend accumulation of 1.2 million.

Elsewhere at the box office, Focus Features and Blumhouse’s “Obsession” secured the No. 2 position on Monday with an estimated .3 million, bringing its cumulative earnings to 7.4 million after six weeks in theaters. The film has yet to be made available for purchase or rental on digital platforms, despite misunderstandings regarding its availability.
