Anything higher than $12M is a record preview night for the franchise. That\u2019s what Toy Story 4 posted back in 2019 off previews that begin in select theaters at 5PM followed by a 6PM wide break. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tIf that $13M-$14M+ figure holds, that would rep the best previews 2026 has seen so far, higher than Lionsgate\u2019s Michael ($12.6M), Amazon MGM Studios\u2019 Project Hail Mary ($12M) and Disney\/Lucasfilm\u2019s Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu ($12M). A reminder that Illumination\/Universal didn\u2019t hold previews for Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which currently owns the best 3-day opening at the domestic box office YTD with $131.7M. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAll good vibes for Toy Story 5 heading into the weekend with a 94% certified fresh critical score. No audience score yet. We heard heading into the weekend that the Andrew Stanton directed fifthquel had $25M in advance ticket sales, ahead of Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Domestic outlook is $140M+ at 4,425 locations with more than enough battery life from PLF and Imax screens. Global forecast is $275M, $135M\u00a0expected from an 87% footprint abroad including China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tBiggest previews ever for a Pixar movie in U.S.\/Canada belongs to 2018\u2019s Incredibles 2 ($18.5M), which also owns the weekend record for the Emeryville, CA studio ($182.6M). <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t2010\u2019s Toy Story 3 posted previews of $4M, back when showtimes began at midnight. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWe\u2019ll have more updates in the AM. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: We\u2019re hearing from box office sources that Disney\/Pixar\u2018s Toy Story 5 is in play for a franchise&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,3494,75,337,56185,62806],"class_list":["post-746649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-disney","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-pixar","tag-toy-story-5"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
