Disney and Pixar have a blockbuster on their hands. “Toy Story 5” is racing toward the biggest opening weekend of 2026 so far, with projections landing in the $160 million range — a powerful debut that cements the beloved franchise’s enduring appeal.

A Record-Breaking Debut

The latest installment in the iconic series wasted no time making history. “Toy Story 5” notched the second-biggest opening day of all time for an animated feature, raking in $71 million. That figure sits just behind “The Incredibles 2,” which earned $72.2 million back in 2018.

The strong start reflects glowing audience reception. Moviegoers awarded the film a coveted A CinemaScore, and ticket sales are pacing ahead of 2019’s “Toy Story 4,” which opened to $120.9 million in June. Franchise veteran Andrew Stanton directs the new chapter, with Kenna Harris co-directing.

Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” Cools Off

Not every film is enjoying the same momentum. Steven Spielberg and Universal’s original sci-fi feature “Disclosure Day” is experiencing a steep decline in its second weekend.

After opening to $44 million, the film is dropping a sharp 69 percent and is expected to earn around $17 million this weekend. That would bring its domestic total to roughly $78 million — a respectable figure, but a notable cooldown from its debut.

“Obsession” Continues Its Remarkable Run

Few films have surprised the industry like Focus Features’ “Obsession.” Now in its sixth weekend, the box office sensation is finally set to post a weekend smaller than its original opening of $17.2 million.

The film is projected to pull in around $14 million, pushing its domestic total to approximately $215 million. That staying power has been extraordinary — “Obsession” long ago became Focus’ highest-grossing movie of all time, both domestically and globally, where it has surpassed $300 million.

New Releases Enter the Mix

Several fresh titles are also hitting theaters this weekend, though they’re aiming for more modest returns:

• Leviticus: Neon’s well-received Sundance horror feature is expected to bring in around $3 million.
• The Death of Robin Hood: This Hugh Jackman-led project is eyeing roughly $2.5 million. Directed by Michael Sarnoski — known for “Pig” and “A Quiet Place: Day One” — the film explores Robin Hood’s later years.

The Bottom Line

While the weekend offers a mix of fading holdovers and smaller newcomers, the story belongs to “Toy Story 5.” With a historic opening day, stellar audience scores, and a trajectory toward $160 million, Pixar has delivered the year’s biggest box office triumph so far — proving that Woody, Buzz, and the gang still have plenty of magic left.
