Toy Story 5’s opening weekend was bigger than The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s

In fact, Pixar’s latest did so well that it has the second-highest opening-weekend gross of any animated movie ever. The only other one to have a higher three-day total is Incredibles 2, another Pixar animation, which grossed $182.6 million during its first weekend in theaters in 2018. For a post-pandemic theatrical release, earning second place is a very impressive feat.

As for the other movies in theaters right now, Obsession continues to hold strong while Hugh Jackman’s new movie, Death of Robin Hood, underperformed. Here are the estimated top ten highest-grossing films of the weekend, per Deadline:

1. Toy Story 5: $160 million
2. Disclosure Day: $17.2 million
3. Obsession: $14.2 million
4. Backrooms: $7.5 million
5. Scary Movie: $6.6 million
6. Masters of the Universe: $4.9 million
7. The Mandalorian and Grogu: $4 million
8. Leviticus: $3 million
9. Death of Robin Hood: $2.5 million
10. Michael: $2.1 million

It’s not too surprising that Toy Story 5 is proving to be a massive success, as Toy Story is a beloved animated film franchise that kids enjoy and parents are nostalgic for. In Polygon’s review of the movie, Brian VanHooker wrote, “While the movie doesn’t quite reach the heights of the first three films, it is a thoughtful, funny, emotional entry into the franchise that improves upon Toy Story 4 in every way.”

Clearly, audiences agree. Expect Toy Story 5 to stay in theaters for some time before eventually making its way to Disney+. The video game industry will capitalize on this movie’s success later this year, too, as Digital Eclipse and Atari are releasing a collection of retro Toy Story games.
