\n\tYear-to-date, the best global and domestic opening by a MPA title belongs to Illumination\/Nintendo\/Universal\u2019s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which respectively minted $372.5M WW and a 3-day domestic of $131.7M ( $190.8M 5-day). China\u2019s Pegasus 3 with a Tuesday-Sunday take of $393M, is essentially the year\u2019s best global opening.<\/p>\n
\n\tAt the domestic B.O., Incredibles 2 still holds the record for the best Pixar opening at $182.6M, however, in like-for-likes worldwide that record belongs to 2024\u2019s Inside Out 2 at $384M WW ($230M int\u2019l, $154M domestic). The previous record opening for a Toy Story film was 2019\u2019s Toy Story 4 both domestic ($120.9M) and worldwide ($249M in like-for-likes). Looking back, that was a great opening, but at the time it came in under projections, which were wild at $160M stateside and $260M WW<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tRELATED: <\/strong>The 61 Movies That Have Made More Than $1 Billion At The Global Box Office<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \n\tWhy the slightly lower domestic forecast for Toy Story 5 from $150M <\/a>to $140M? That\u2019s because presales at $25M are slightly ahead of Super Mario Galaxy at the same point in time, ahead of Zootopia 2 ($100.2M 3-day, $158.8M 5-day) but behind Moana 2 ($139.7M 3-day, $225.4M 5-day). A lot of presales are on the Juneteenth holiday this Friday, which is the swing factor: It\u2019s bound to be a bigger day than usual at the B.O., so the question is what the hold is on Saturday.<\/p>\n \n\tFirst choice for the fifth film in the 31-year-old is best with women under 25 but strong across the board. It\u2019s traditional (except with Toy Story 4) for Pixar to have a theatrical release over Father\u2019s Day weekend. In the case of Toy Story 5, which skews more female, it will hold in its Saturday-to-Sunday ease, though not as big as a young boys-skewing movie such as Incredible 2 (-11%). The female-skewing Inside Out 2 eased by 23% between its Saturday and Father\u2019s Day Sunday.<\/p>\n \n\tRELATED: <\/strong>21 Theatrical And Streaming Movies To Look Forward To This Summer<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \n\tCritical reviews on Rotten Tomatoes so far are very good for Toy Story 5 at 93% certified fresh, though lowest in the franchise following Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (both 100%), Toy Story 3 (98%) and Toy Story 4 (97%). All the previous Toy Story pics received A Cinemascores with the exception of Toy Story 2, which was an A+. Stanton is part of the Pixar posse, having directed WALL-E, Finding Nemo and Finding Dory and co-directed A Bug\u2019s Life, but this is his first Toy Story. <\/p>\n \n\tPreviews start at 2 p.m. Thursday in U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n \n\tOverseas, the riches for Toy Story 5 are expected to be in English-speaking territories, Latin America and France. Not so much Asia. China posted a $13M opening for Toy Story 4, while Toy Story 3 bowed to $14M in the Middle Kingdom. In like-for-likes, Toy Story 3 posted an international opening of $98M, while Toy Story 4 was $128M.<\/p>\n \n\tRELATED: Taylor Swift\u2019s \u2018Toy Story 5\u2019 Song Gets Music Video With Footage Of Joan Cusack\u2019s Jessie; Breaks Streaming Records<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tHugh Jackman in \u2018The Death of Robin Hood<\/a>\u2018 <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA24<\/p>\n \n\tElsewhere on North American marquees, there\u2019s art house counterprogramming with A24\u2019s Michael Sarnoski-directed The Death of Robin Hood<\/strong>, starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer, which is booked at 1,760 theaters with an eye in the single-digit millions<\/strong>.
