Toy Story 5 Sets Record with $160 million U.S. Opening and $312 million Global Debut

Pixar’s fifth Toy Story installment opened with a $160 million domestic weekend, the biggest opening of the year and a new franchise record, surpassing the $120 million debut of Toy Story 4. International markets added $152 million, bringing the worldwide total to $312 million – the highest‑grossing opening for any film in 2026.

The $250 million‑budget film, directed by Andrew Stanton with co‑director Kenna Harris, features original voices Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack, plus a new Taylor Swift song “I Knew It, I Knew You.” Audiences gave it an “A” CinemaScore and Rotten Tomatoes shows a 94 % approval rating. Industry analysts note the strong performance bolsters Disney’s box‑office outlook and benefits exhibitors such as AMC, which reported its busiest weekend of the year.

The success has sparked speculation about a possible Toy Story 6, as Disney executives consider extending the franchise after confirming the film is on track to join the $1 billion‑club.
