Toy Story 5 Surpasses 0M in U.S. Sales with Record M Tuesday Box Office
In a remarkable display of box office prowess, Toy Story 5 achieved a notable milestone by grossing an impressive .7 million on Tuesday, marking the most lucrative Tuesday of 2026 thus far. This performance has propelled the much-anticipated Disney/Pixar film past the 0 million threshold in domestic earnings within just five days of its release.
The recent success of Toy Story 5 aligns with trends observed in other animated features post-COVID-19, such as Inside Out 2 and Moana 2, which also reached similar financial heights in their first week. For context, Inside Out 2 made 2.9 million domestically, setting a robust benchmark with the highest second weekend gross ever for an animated film, at 1.2 million. Given the strong opening of Toy Story 5, which totaled 9.6 million—the best opening weekend of the year and the second-highest domestic debut for a Pixar film after Incredibles 2—projections suggest that the sequel might experience a decline of approximately 40% to 45% in its second weekend, generating between million and million during that period.
For comparison, Warner Bros/DC’s Supergirl, currently operating with a 61% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is anticipated to attract a debut in the upper million range, potentially reaching million. This is an interesting dynamic given that The Flash, which was viewed similarly prior to its release in June 2023, opened to million with a slightly higher rating.
Toy Story 5’s impressive Tuesday earnings represented a 37% increase from its preceding Monday haul of .3 million, which itself was a record for the year. The film now stands fourth among all Tuesdays in June, trailing only behind landmark releases like Inside Out 2 and Incredibles 2, as well as Jurassic World.
On the same day, Focus Features’ Obsession, which collected .7 million, came in second place, contributing to a total domestic gross of 0 million over its six weeks in theaters. As the summer box office season continues, the success of both Toy Story 5 and Obsession highlights the resilient demand for cinematic experiences amidst evolving audience preferences.
