When Toy Story 5 opens next Friday, June 19, it may break records not just for the franchise, but potentially even for Pixar.
Box Office Predictions
According to Boxoffice Pro, the latest prediction for Toy Story 5‘s opening weekend in the U.S. could range between $150 million and $175 million. The last Pixar film to hit over $150 million in the domestic box office on opening weekend was Inside Out 2 in 2024 with $154.2 million.
For reference, here is how the other Toy Story universe films have done opening weekend in the U.S. (not counting for inflation):
- Lightyear: $50.5 million
- Toy Story 4: $120.9 million
- Toy Story 3: $110.3 million
- Toy Story 2: $80.8 million
- Toy Story: $29.1 million
To date, Incredibles 2 (2018) is Pixar’s highest-grossing opening weekend film, which earned $182.6 million in its first domestic weekend. That record is followed by Finding Dory (2016) with $135 million, and then Toy Story 4 (2019).
Toy Story 5 Teaser
