Pixar’s “Toy Story 5” opens to record-breaking box office numbers, bringing in $312 million worldwide during its opening weekend, which multiple outlets describe as the biggest debut of 2026 and a series best. The film earns $160 million domestically in the United States and Canada, making it the highest opening weekend in the franchise, according to reports citing Disney and Pixar’s figures. Variety further breaks down the global total as $160 million domestically and $152 million overseas, and notes that the previous franchise record was set by “Toy Story 4,” with lower worldwide and international totals. Several sources also highlight the film’s strong overall performance and position it as leading the summer box office push. While one report mentions a large production budget of $250 million and suggests favorable audience response and reviews, the broader coverage is focused on the scale of ticket sales and its status as the top opening for both the franchise and the year to date. Competition in the release window includes other technology-themed entertainment, though the reports converge primarily on “Toy Story 5” setting new opening benchmarks.
