Toy Story 5 draws record Latin American audiences and inspires China Eastern themed flight

Toy Story 5, the latest Pixar release, opened on June 19, 2026 and quickly became the most‑watched film in Latin America for the year. In its first weekend it earned $53.8 million at the box office and attracted more than 10 million viewers across the region, reaffirming the franchise’s three‑decade‑long popularity.

Separately, China Eastern Airlines turned a regular Shanghai‑Chengdu route (flight MU5411, Airbus A330) into an immersive Toy Story experience. More than 200 passengers travelled in a cabin decorated with film‑related graphics, checkpoints and souvenirs, extending the movie’s promotion beyond cinemas into everyday travel.
