©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection “Toy Story 5” should send the box office to infinity… and beyond.
The latest entry in Disney and Pixar’s beloved animated franchise is targeting a debut of $145 million to $150 million from 4,400 North American theaters. Industry watchers believe that initial ticket sales could soar even higher — with some predicting a tally closer to $160 million to $175 million — given the goodwill toward the property as well as the sterling reviews from critics. After all, Disney’s recent animated sequels like 2024’s “Inside Out 2” ($154 million debut) and 2025’s “Zootopia 2” ($100 million debut) exploded at the box office, with $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion respectively by the end of their runs — and “Toy Story” is the crown jewel of kid-friendly franchises.
