What happened

Toy Story 5 opened on June 19, 2026 to $160 million in North America — the biggest domestic debut of the year and a new franchise record, easily surpassing the $120 million set by 2019's Toy Story 4. It also ranks as the second-largest animated opening weekend ever, trailing only 2018's Incredibles 2 ($182.7 million).

Overseas the film added about $152 million for a $312 million global launch, the second-best worldwide opening in Pixar history and the biggest global debut of 2026 to that point. The result comfortably clears the film's reported $250 million production budget in a single weekend.

Critics and audiences both turned out: reviews landed at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and exit polls gave the film an "A" CinemaScore, setting it up as the default family choice through the summer.

About Toy Story 5

Toy Story 5 opens in theaters on June 19, 2026 — Pixar's first new entry in the beloved franchise since Toy Story 4 in 2019. The countdown above ticks down to opening day, with Tom Hanks back as Woody and Tim Allen returning as Buzz Lightyear alongside Jessie and the rest of Bonnie's toys.

Directed by Andrew Stanton, the fifth film sets the toys against their most modern rival yet: electronics. The story pits the gang against a piece of next-generation kids' technology, asking what a wooden cowboy and a plastic spaceman mean to a child raised on screens. It is a question the series has circled since 1995, now aimed squarely at the tablet age.

Few franchises carry the cultural weight of Toy Story — the first film launched the entire computer-animation era, and each sequel has been a box-office and awards force. Add this countdown to your own page, or browse our movies group for more releases worth counting down to.
