Toy Story 5 earned $160 million domestically in its opening weekend, giving Pixar and Disney the biggest animated film debut of 2026. Globally, the film pulled in $312 million, with $152 million coming from international markets.
Second-biggest animated debut ever
The film ranked as the second-largest opening for an animated movie in history, behind only Incredibles 2’s $183.6 million from 2018. For Pixar specifically, a $312 million global debut ranks second all-time after Inside Out 2’s $384 million.
Toy Story 5 opened during the first $200 million three-day weekend of 2026, cementing summer’s box office dominance. The film’s A+ CinemaScore indicated strong audience reception across demographics.
Budget and profitability
The film carries a $250 million production budget, plus separate marketing spend. But with $312 million already banked in its first weekend globally, the film is tracking toward strong profitability—a return to form for Pixar after mixed results on some recent sequels.
Inside Out 2 set the tone for 2026 box office strength. Toy Story 5 proved that audiences still line up for trusted franchises, even as theatrical attendance debates continue in Hollywood.
When a Pixar film lands this hard in its opening days, it signals streaming’s hunger for theatrical events isn’t diminishing.
