“Toy Story 5,” the latest installment in Pixar’s long-running franchise, opens to record-breaking box office results. Multiple outlets report the film earns $312 million worldwide during its opening weekend, which is described as the biggest debut of 2026 so far and the franchise’s largest opening. Domestically, several sources put the figure at $160 million, also characterized as the highest opening in franchise history. The film stars returning characters including Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie, and is presented as a new adventure that continues the series after roughly three decades.

Coverage broadly links the strong start to audience reception and positive reviews, suggesting continued momentum over the summer box office. One outlet also notes the franchise has built additional viewing momentum through Disney+, including a reference to the amount of hours watched for the “Toy Story” franchise on the platform, though specific causal claims vary by source.
