A lot of moviegoers. Three-week tracking for the Andrew Standon and McKenna Harris co-directed animated feature is at $150M, which if those numbers stick will be a record opening for the franchise ahead of Toy Story 4\u2018s $120.9M back in pre-Covid 2019. Also if that projection hits, it will rep the biggest opening of 2026 year-to-date higher than the 3-day of Illumination\/Nintendo\/Universal\u2019s Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($131.7M) Toy Story 5 is opening on the prized Pixar weekend of June 19. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tIn addition, Toy Story 5\u2018s start in North America would rep the best summer has seen so far. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tNote that tracking overshot the projection of Toy Story 4, so when it opened, it was like \u2018Wah, really?\u2019 Note anything north of $120.9M is sublime for Disney. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tToy Story 5 is the fifth movie in a 31-year old franchise, so it\u2019s not oversaturated by any means. First choice right now is strong with women and men under 25. Overall first choice and all four quad demos are ahead of Toy Story 4 through slightly behind Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Disney is expecting plenty of families, and everyone from mom, dad, granny and gramps. Overall first choice is also ahead of Inside Out 2 which post-Covid debuted to $154.2M back in June 2024. Tickets just went on sale Tuesday for Toy Story 5. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tBiggest opening ever for an animated movie at the domestic box office belongs to Disney\/Pixar\u2019s Incredibles 2 with $182.6M.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAlso arriving on tracking today is A24\u2019s Michael Sarnoski directed The Death of Robin Hood  which is looking like an under $10M 3-day forecast at this point in time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Disney\/Pixar\u2019s Toy Story 5 is bound to have a friend with moviegoers.
