Both the domestic and global launch numbers are the biggest of 2026 so far, topping the Super Mario Bros. Galaxy movie, which had a three-day launch of $130.9 million domestically in April. (It opened two days early for the Easter holidays and boasted a five-day number of $190.1 million.)
It’s also a record for the franchise, topping Toy Story 4‘s $120.9 million launch in 2019.
Audiences gave Toy Story 5 an A CinemaScore. Toy Story veteran Andrew Stanton directs, with Kenna Harris co-directing.

In its sixth outing, Focus Features’ box office sensation Obsession will finally post a weekend gross smaller than its opening of $17.2 million, and is expected to pull in around $14 million for a domestic total of around $215 million. It long ago became Focus’ No. 1 movie of all time both domestically and globally, where it has passed $300 million.
