This weekend’s box office belonged entirely to Pixar. After years away from theatres, Toy Story 5 arrived with a massive debut that immediately became one of the year’s biggest openings. The animated sequel overwhelmed the competition, while the rest of the top five consisted entirely of holdovers fighting for scraps behind Woody and Buzz’s latest adventure.
The result also continues a trend we’ve seen throughout 2026: family films remain one of the safest bets in theatrical exhibition. When audiences are given a recognizable brand with broad appeal, they continue to show up in force.
Toy Story 5 Delivers a Massive Opening
Toy Story 5 debuted with $160.0 million.
Last week, the film was tracking between $150 million and $175 million, with an estimated opening of $165 million. The final result landed almost exactly where expected and instantly became one of the strongest debuts of 2026.
Pixar’s flagship franchise remains a powerhouse. Nostalgia, strong family appeal, and decades of goodwill combined to create a near perfect recipe for success. While the opening falls short of the very top end of projections, Disney has to be thrilled with this result.
The opening also reinforces a trend that has defined much of 2026: family audiences continue to be among the most reliable moviegoers. While several genres have experienced inconsistent results throughout the year, animated films and family-focused releases have repeatedly delivered strong theatrical numbers. With school holidays approaching and little direct competition on the horizon, Toy Story 5 appears well-positioned for a lengthy run at the top of the box office.
Disclosure Day Holds Second Place
Disclosure Day earned $17.0 million.
Steven Spielberg’s latest film experienced a healthy decline while facing overwhelming competition from Toy Story 5. Remaining in second place against such a dominant newcomer is a positive sign and suggests audiences are continuing to discover the film through word of mouth.
Obsession Continues Its Remarkable Run
Obsession brought in $14.2 million.
At this point, Obsession has become one of the year’s most impressive stories. Week after week, the thriller continues to generate strong numbers despite new releases constantly entering the marketplace. Few films have demonstrated this level of staying power in 2026.
Backrooms Remains a Horror Success Story
Backrooms collected $7.3 million.
The viral horror sensation continues to cool after its enormous opening, but that should take nothing away from its overall performance. The film has already cemented itself as one of the biggest surprises of the year and remains a major win for original horror.
Scary Movie Rounds Out the Top Five
Scary Movie added $6.7 million.
The comedy reboot continues its successful run despite losing screens and attention to newer releases. While its biggest weekends are now behind it, the film has already proven that the franchise still has life left in it.
Next Weekend’s Predictions
Next weekend sees the release of Jackass: Best and Last, which is tracking for an opening between $14 million and $19 million. While the franchise remains recognizable, the marketing campaign has been relatively quiet and overall interest appears lower than previous entries. A debut around $16 million feels like the most likely outcome.
Meanwhile, Supergirl is tracking between $39 million and $51 million. Under normal circumstances, a DC superhero film would be expected to land closer to the high end of that range, but initial reactions have been somewhat lukewarm. For now, an opening around $40 million appears to be the safest prediction, though stronger audience reception could help it exceed expectations.
