Kids these days might prefer tech to toys, but Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie still got it.

“Toy Story 5” ruled over the box office with $160 million from 4,425 North America theaters, landing on the higher end of expectations while securing the biggest domestic debut of the year over Universal’s “Super Mario Galaxy Movie” ($131.7 million). The animated sequel also ranks as the largest start in Disney and Pixar’s beloved “Toy Story” franchise, supplanting the record set by 2019’s “Toy Story 4” with $120 million. And it scored the second-largest animated opening weekend in history, behind only 2018’s “Incredibles 2” with $182.7 million.
