Toy Story 5 had an enormous start at the global box office, setting a franchise record. Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, however, is having a tough time.
The Pixar sequel made $160 million domestically and $152 million internationally, for a huge $312 million global start. That’s enough to make Toy Story 5 the biggest opening weekend of 2026 both domestically and globally, and the biggest opening weekend in franchise history (not adjusted for inflation). With the school holidays set to start next month, it looks like Toy Story 5 could be set for a billion dollar run at the box office, and it looks set to make hundreds of millions in profit for Disney — according to Variety, Toy Story 5 had a $250 million budget, although marketing costs are on top.
Toy Story 4 made $1.07 billion back in 2019, and Toy Story 5 looks like it has a decent chance of beating that. The question is, can Toy Story 5 end its theatrical run ahead of the likes of Inside Out 2 ($1.6 billion) and Zootopia 2 ($1.8 billion)? Either way, it’ll surely end as one of only a handful of 2026 movies to cross the billion dollar barrier — so far only The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has managed it this year.
IGN’s Toy Story 5 review returned a 7/10. We said: “Toy Story 5, like all its main characters, eventually figures out why it exists in the first place.” If you’ve seen the movie, be sure to check out our report on the ending Toy Story 5 almost had.
However, Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day is struggling at the box office. It suffered a significant 62% drop domestically in weekend two, grossing $17 million in North America, with another $18.7 million internationally. Globally, Disclosure Day has made $160.4 million. But as Variety points out, Disclosure Day had a $115 million budget, so, factoring in the cut of revenues exhibitors take, it needs to make around $300 million globally to turn a profit.
Why is Disclosure Day having a tough time in theaters? While it’s bringing in older males who grew up on Steven Spielberg movies, Variety suggests that it’s failing to appeal to the Gen Z audience, which is preoccupied with the likes of Obsession and Backrooms.
Speaking of which, Obsession is now on $333.2 million globally, and Backrooms is on $301 million — two astonishing box office results for movies made for basically nothing compared to the likes of Toy Story 5 and Disclosure Day.
IGN’s Disclosure Day review returned a 7/10. We said: “Disclosure Day is vintage Spielberg, and even if it stumbles a bit at the finish line, it’s still an original, big-budget science fiction conversation-starter from one of cinema’s all-time greats.”
