Toy Story 5 is set to demolish the weekend box office with what could be close to a $200 million domestic haul. It\u2019s been seven years since Toy Story 4, and clearly, there\u2019s still a huge appetite for the adventures of Woody and Buzz, though in 5\u2019s case, mostly Jesse. Now, Toy Story 5 has actually set an audience score record on Rotten Tomatoes in franchise history.<\/a><\/p>\n As it stands, despite being the lowest critic-scored entry in the franchise (though still high, in relative terms), Toy Story 5 is now the highest audience-scored film of the series. Here are the numbers:<\/p>\n Toy Story 5 \u2013 95% audience score 94% critic scoreToy Story 4 \u2013 94% audience score, 97% critic scoreToy Story 3 \u2013 90% audience score, 98% critic scoreToy Story \u2013 92% audience score, 100% critic scoreToy Story 2 \u2013 87% audience score, 100% critic score<\/p>\n It\u2019s certainly interesting that Toy Story 2 has the lowest audience score by a somewhat significant margin, where with 175 critic reviews in to make up that perfect 100%, I believe this may actually be the highest scoring movie on Rotten Tomatoes\u2026ever<\/a>. I do remember at the time, however, a lot of people being upset about them trying to recreate the magic of the original, and seemingly failing to do so to some extent. That was not the critical opinion, clearly, but I do remember a lot of people thinking it wasn\u2019t nearly as good as the first Toy Story at the time. Though I think it\u2019s certainly aged well.<\/p>\n Toy Story 5<\/p>\n Rotten Tomatoes<\/p>\n These are still early numbers. We are comparing scores based on 250,000 reviews to ones with 1000 for early viewers this weekend, but it would be a little surprising if it dropped down to the third movie\u2019s 90%.<\/p>\n Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes<\/p>\n Curious about box office? So was I, and now we\u2019re over a 25-year period here, the inflation-unadjusted numbers are certainly something to see. We have<\/p>\n Toy Story 4 \u2013 $1.07 billionToy Story 3 \u2013 $1.06 billionToy Story 2 – $487 millionToy Story – $237 million<\/p>\n And if you do adjust for inflation, Toy Story 1 and 2 made $518 million and $974 million, respectively. And Toy Story 3 is ahead of Toy Story 4, $1.59 billion to $1.37 billion.<\/p>\n Given these early box office numbers and predicted opening weekend, along with the solid overall moviegoing climate as of late, it\u2019s easy to imagine Toy Story 5 is going to top a billion at the box office like Super Mario Galaxy has this year (as the only film to do it). As for what it ends up at, we\u2019ll see, but it\u2019s clear that audiences are loving it.<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>,<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series<\/a> and The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
