\n\tPlaytime is over. Or, actually, maybe it has just begun? Either way, \u201cToy Story 5<\/a>\u201d topped the box office charts on Friday.<\/p>\n

\n\tDisney and Pixar\u2019s \u201cToy Story 5\u201d easily claimed Friday\u2019s box office crown with $71 million from 4,425 North American theaters. Most have the family film earning about $150 million through the weekend, but some forecasters have that figure climbing as high as $175 million. Even at the lowest end of those estimates, \u201cToy Story 5\u201d will easily cement the best opening weekend in franchise history, a record that currently belongs to \u201cToy Story 4\u201d with $120 milion. It\u2019s shaping up to be a major payout for team Mouse House, and they are going to need it since \u201cTS5\u201d carries a $250 million production budget plus marketing costs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cToy Story 5\u201d sees Buzz, Woody and Jessie do battle with an edutainment smart tablet named Lilypad, which threatens to take over their play time with Bonnie. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack all return to the voice cast, joined by newcomers Greta Lee, Keanu Reeves, Craig Robinson, Alan Cumming, Conan O\u2019Brien and Bad Bunny.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis weekend\u2019s other major newcomer, \u201cThe Death of Robin Hood,\u201d didn\u2019t fare quite as well. The A24 release finished in eighth after making an estimated $1.1 million domestically on opening day from 1,782 theaters. Through the weekend, it should make off with about $2.5 million. From writer-director Michael Sarnoski, \u201cThe Death of Robin Hood\u201d follows the mythical outlaw as he fights for salvation after a lifetime of crime. Hugh Jackman stars in the titular role alongside Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd, Jade Coot and Katie Breen.<\/p>\n

\n\tSecond place went to Steven Spielberg\u2019s \u201cDisclosure Day<\/a>,\u201d which made $4.9 million domestically on Friday as it heads into its second weekend in theaters. By Sunday, the alien conspiracy thriller should add $17.2 million (a 61% drop from last weekend), pushing its North American total to $78.4 million. Universal spent $115 million to produce \u201cDisclosure Day\u201d and another $80 million on marketing.<\/p>\n

\n\tThird place went to Focus Features\u2019 \u201cObsession<\/a>,\u201d which is still putting butts in seats as it enters its sixth weekend in cinemas. It grossed $4.7 million on Friday, and should collect $14 million through the weekend. That would put the horror-thriller\u2019s domestic earnings at $215 million, an astonishing feat considering the film was made for about $1 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the top five were A24\u2019s \u201cBackrooms\u201d and Paramount\u2019s \u201cScary Movie.\u201d \u201cBackrooms\u201d took fourth with $2.4 million on Friday and is expected to make $7.4 million by Sunday, all according to rival estimates. Through four weekends of release, the film\u2019s domestic total should reach $175 million. \u201cScary Movie\u201d landed in fifth, pulling in $2.1 million. After making an estiamated $6.6 million through the weekend, its domestic total should reach around $97 million through three weekends in North American cinemas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Playtime is over.
