AceShowbiz - Toy Story 5 is outpacing Disney’s most recent Star Wars installment in worldwide earnings, Superherohype reports. The animated hit has amassed over $328 million globally, exceeding the Star Wars sequel’s total by $6 million during its entire theatrical run.

Variety also detailed that Toy Story 5 achieved $17.5 million from preview screenings, marking the highest preview revenue recorded so far in 2026. This preview haul tops the $12.6 million previews earned by the film Michael and ranks just behind the 2018 record-holder Incredibles 2, which made $18.5 million in previews. Variety projects the film’s opening weekend could land between $145 million and $150 million domestically, with some estimates reaching up to $175 million—significantly surpassing Toy Story 4’s $120 million debut. Additionally, the movie is expected to generate $135 million internationally, pushing its global opening total beyond $275 million.

Toy Story 5, produced by Pixar and directed by Andrew Stanton, features returning voices like Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack, alongside newcomers such as Conan O'Brien and Greta Lee. Released on June 19, 2026, the film continues the beloved franchise’s success, which has previously exceeded $1 billion worldwide with its last entry. The franchise also generates over $1 billion annually through consumer products and related media.

This strong box office showing highlights Toy Story 5’s enduring appeal and Pixar’s ability to maintain audience enthusiasm for a long-running series. Outperforming a high-profile Star Wars release further cements the franchise’s cultural and commercial significance in 2026’s competitive market.
