Toy Story 5 Powers Up With Strongest Preview Opening of 2026 So Far
Toy Story 5 has achieved the strongest preview opening of 2026 to date, earning $17.5 million in domestic previews. This performance surpasses Michael, a music biopic that earned $12.6 million in its preview period, positioning Toy Story 5 as the year’s frontrunner until Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s anticipated release next month.
Industry analysts project robust box office performance for the animated sequel, forecasting an additional $150 million domestically over its opening weekend—a substantial increase from Toy Story 4’s $130 million opening in 2019. International markets are expected to contribute approximately $135 million to the film’s global performance.
The strong preview numbers indicate considerable audience enthusiasm and suggest Toy Story 5 is positioned to be a major commercial success for both Pixar and Disney, maintaining the franchise’s track record as a consistent box office powerhouse.
