\n\tSUNDAY AM: With a $312M global weekend opening, Disney\/Pixar\u2019s Toy Story 5<\/a> is the second best for a Pixar movie (sans China) behind 2024\u2019s Inside Out 2 which debuted to $384M. <\/p>\n

\n\tDid the World Cup kick the foreign B.O. in the head? We used to write about such paranoia in the early aughts when studios were first embracing international at the summer B.O. But alas, the World Cup only impacted business on the day of games, read Mexico\u2019s on Thursday. That didn\u2019t stop Mexico from being Toy Story 5\u2018s biggest territory outside the U.S. this weekend at $26.6M, and 2nd best bow YTD and 3rd bet for Pixar. It\u2019s quite possible when we get to the quarter finals in the next week, or the championship in early July, we truly see a dent.<\/p>\n

\n\tBy leaps and bounds, Jessie, Woody and Buzz have the No. 1 movie at the global weekend B.O. They are followed by MPA titles (until Rentrak reports), Universal\u2019s Disclosure Day ($35.7M WW second weekend, $160.4M WW cume), Obsession ($25.1M WW sixth weekend, $333.2M WW cume), and Paramount\u2019s Scary Movie ($15.8M WW third frame, $202M WW Cume).<\/p>\n

\n\tLionsgate\u2019s Michael posted an estimated global weekend of $13.6M. Of that Japan counts a $5.4M second weekend for a running total of $17.5M. The overall running cume for King of Pop\u2019s biopic stands at $959.6M.<\/p>\n

\n\tBroken out, Toy Story 5 did $160M domestic and $152M international in its opening frame. <\/p>\n

\n\tDisney is saying that Toy Story 5 is the best global start of all year. But Universal\/Illumination\u2019s Super Mario Galaxy Movie opened to $372.5M WW. What the\u2026?<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s the thing, Super Mario Galaxy Movie global start includes Germany, Austria, and two days of domestic with Wednesday and Thursday (which Toy Story 5 doesn\u2019t have). If you back that out, Super Mario Galaxy\u2018s weekend is at $302M, and yes, Toy Story 5 is at $312M. However, all studios when they report a global opening, always include their midweek Tuesday previews (if pertinent), Wednesday and Thursday domestic grosses. We can\u2019t rewrite global box office reporting history by adding and subtracting days and territories. <\/p>\n

\n\tDisney reports that the fifthquel posted the sixth\u00a0highest MPA animated opening weekend of all time (including China), where Walt Disney Studios accounts for 5 of the top 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tToy Story 5 was either the No. 1 movie, or No. 1 non-local movie in all major markets except India (where it was beat by a local title) and Poland. Overall, international start here of $152M is also the second best for Pixar (including and excluding China) behind Inside Out 2\u2018s $230M.<\/p>\n

\n\tLatin America grossed $55.2M for Jessie, Buzz and Woody where it was No. 1 in all markets with a 79% regional market share. Brazil bowed to $6.1M, the third highest start for a Pixar title in the country. Toy Story 5 also repped the biggest opening weekend YTD across the region. It was the highest opening for a Pixar movie (and YTD weekend) in Argentina with $5.4M. Colombia\u2019s $4.2M reps second best bow for Pixar movie there (along with Peru and Uruguay). Central America\u2019s $3.7M take is the 2nd highest opening weekend YTD, and third highest for Pixar (in addition to Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay).<\/p>\n

\n\tEurope delivered $53.4M. UK turned in $20M, which stands as the best MPA title opening in the country YTD and second best for Pixar. Saturday also repped the highest grossing day ever for a Pixar movie in the U.K. France minted $7.2M. Spain\u2019s $5.5M reps the second best start for a Pixar movie (excluding previews). Italy posted $3.5M. <\/p>\n

\n\tOverall, the fifthquel saw the top opening ever for animated pic in Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. Also, it was a record star for Pixar in those territories including Iraq, Oman and Saudi Arabia. Also, the pic was the No. 2 Pixar opening of all-time in Lebanon, Serbia, Turkey and Croatia. Despite Israeli strikes on Lebanon, moviegoing wasn\u2019t impacted for the weekend, which sources say has improved in the Middle East since Iran stopped firing missiles into Israel.<\/p>\n

\n\tAsia Pacific posted $43.4M. <\/p>\n

\n\tToy Story 5\u2018s No. 1 haul in China of $18M is the best YTD start for a MPA movie. It\u2019s also a franchise record ahead of Toy Story 4\u2018s $13M. Korea\u2019s $6.1M is also the best start YTD for a MPA title. Other YTD best openings were posted by Indonesia (also a Pixar record), Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. <\/p>\n

\n\tAustralia\u2019s $6.9M is the second highest opening for a movie YTD, and the third highest for Pixar. <\/p>\n

\n\tToy Story 5 is going later in Japan (July 3), Germany\/Austria (July 23, the franchise is a tad sluggish, particularly with an onslaught of slapstick Minions coming, hence the decision to go later) and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

\n\tNikki and Bear\u2019s toxic romance in Obsession continued to reap great wishes with a sixth weekend of $14.2M in North America with another near $11M overseas ($8.5M from Uni territories which have grossed $92.9M alone of the total $117.4M foreign haul). <\/p>\n

\n\tUni openings included $400K in Greece, which beat\u00a0Nosferatu\u00a0to deliver\u00a0Universal\u2019s biggest ever opening weekend for a horror film. That was also more than double\u00a0Weapons\u00a0and triple Smile, M3GAN\u00a0and\u00a0The Substance.\u00a0Thailand saw $300K on 128 screens, above\u00a0Weapons\u00a0and more than 3x\u00a0Smile\u00a0and\u00a0Scream 7. Vietnam brought in $146K at 302 screens, delivering the market\u2019s\u00a0biggest opening day and weekend for a 2026 MPA Horror. The opening weekend has already surpassed the lifetimes of\u00a0Black Phone 2, Nosferatu, Sinners, Scream 7 and Longlegs. <\/p>\n

\n\tFor a pure comedy, Scary Movie is bound for a $220M, if not more, global cume, which blows away Naked Gun ($102M WW reported) and the Jennifer Lawrence R-rated No Hard Feelings ($87.2M) in the post-Covid. It\u2019s not fair to comp Scary Movie to the R-rated Marvel Studios Deadpool & Wolverine ($1.33 billion) as that\u2019s a superhero movie. Also can\u2019t comp to the last two Bad Boys movies or Ryan Reynolds\u2019 Free Guy as those comedies were loaded with action.<\/p>\n

\n\tInternational on Scary Movie has crossed $100M ($104.4M to be exact) after a $9.1M foreign third weekend in 58 markets. Domestic was $6.7M. <\/p>\n

\n\tTop five holdovers abroad were:
\u2014Mexico $919K third frame at 812 locations, at No. 3 and down 64%. The local cume is now at\u00a0$12.8M.
\u2014Brazil\u00a0with $839K third weekend at 638 locations, at No. 3 in the market and down 56% from last week. Running cume is just under $10M.
\u2014UK with third weekend of $757K at 512 locations, No. 4 in the market and -61%. Running total is $11.3M.
\u2014Germany\u2019s third weekend was $661K at 535 locations, ranking No. 2 and down 69% from last week. Total running there is $9.5M.
\u2014France\u2019s third frame\u00a0grossed\u00a0$611K at 560 locations, at No. 6 and down 57%. Running total is $6M. <\/p>\n

\n\tSATURDAY AM: It\u2019s an understatement to say that Disney\/Pixar\u2019s Toy Story 5 is off to a great global start at the box office. With $129.3M so far, the Andrew Stanton directed movie is bound to beat its worldwide opening forecast of $275M.<\/p>\n

\n\tBroken out that\u2019s $71M domestic for Toy Story 5, which as we told you was the second best Friday ever for an animated movie behind Incredibles 2\u2018s $71.2M, with another $58.3M currently from offshore. <\/p>\n

\n\tStateside outlook has risen to $160M-$170M (past its earlier week $140M projection). Note, the best global opening ever for a Pixar movie in like-for-likes belongs to Inside Out 2 with $384M WW ($230 Int\u2019l, $154M domestic).<\/p>\n

\n\tFriday saw seven more markets including UK and China bringing the fifthquel\u2019s territory count to 48. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe UK with $5.5M repped the best opening day for a Pixar movie. Ditto for China where Jessie, Woody, and Buzz raked in $7.4M. <\/p>\n

\n\tToy Story 5 opened to either No. 1 or No. 1 non-local in all markets including Mexico ($11.4M), China, UK, France ($3M), Spain ($2.7M), Italy, Australia ($2M) and Brazil ($1.9M). The only places Toy Story 5 wasn\u2019t No. 1 or a No. 1 MPA title was India and Vietnam. Argentina saw its second best opening day of 2026 on Thursday with $1.1M, now with a $2M running cume. <\/p>\n

\n\tKorea opened to No. 1 on Wednesday with $1.1M with a 50% share. That opening day was third\u00a0highest for a MPA title YTD and fifth\u00a0highest Pixar opening day of all-time. Current social scores are strong with Naver 9.69\/CGV 98%. The pic\u2019s cume in Korea is now up to $1.7M. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the rest of Europe, Toy Story 5 repped the second highest Pixar opening day of all-time and the highest opening day of 2026 in Turkey. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe toys commanded a 30% market share in the Middle Kingdom, where the fifthquel was also the second highest animated opening for a MPA title since 2020, behind only Zootopia 2 (that sequel screamed a massive $271.7M opening in reported grosses, ultimately grossing $651.3M in China as part of its overall $1.86 billion worldwide). There\u2019s strong social scores with Mayan at 9.6, TTP at 9.5 and Douban at 8. In Vietnam, the Pixar title saw the second highest opening day YTD for a MPA theatrical release.<\/p>\n
