Toy Story 5 Passes $1 Billion, Becomes 2026’s Highest‑Grossing Film
The fifth installment of Pixar’s Toy Story franchise has earned roughly $1.022 billion worldwide, with $448.5 million from the United States and $573.5 million from international markets. The milestone makes Toy Story 5 the highest‑grossing movie of 2026, overtaking The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael, and it also tops the entire Toy Story series, surpassing the previous record set by Toy Story 4.
Directed by Andrew Stanton and featuring returns from voice talents Tom Hanks (Woody) and Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear), the film’s success has been bolstered by a new original song by Taylor Swift and strong word‑of‑mouth. The box‑office surge places Toy Story 5 among a short list of 2026 releases that have crossed the billion‑dollar threshold.
