‘Toy Story 5’ Become Disney’s First Billion Dollar Movie of the Year!!

While the headlines are dominated by The Odyssey, another movie achieved a tremendous feat this weekend at the worldwide box office. Mere days after the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, overtook Oppenheimer to become the top-grossing biopic of all time and crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, a third 2026 release has joined the club. Before Michael, the year’s first film to hit this coveted milestone was The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which seems to have ended its run with $1.011 billion worldwide. Michael is sitting at $1.010 billion worldwide. And now, the third member of 2026’s billion-dollar club has overtaken both those hits to become the biggest blockbuster of 2026.

We’re talking, of course, about Pixar’s Toy Story 5. The animated sequel joined Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 in the billion-dollar club, which now includes 63 movies. Toy Story 3, which was released in 2010 and directed by Lee Unkrich, grossed $1.067 billion globally. Toy Story 4, on the other hand, was released in 2019 and directed by Josh Cooley. It’s sitting at $1.073 billion globally. Both those movies received excellent reviews, winning the Best Animated Feature honor at the Academy Awards. The fifth installment was directed by Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton. It now holds a “Certified Fresh” 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the lowest-rated entry in the legendary franchise. The aggregator website’s consensus reads, “Proving that old toys can learn new tricks while reckoning with an era of endless screen time, Toy Story 5 largely sidesteps franchise fatigue by reaffirming that children everywhere still got a friend in these lovable characters.”

Here’s How Much ‘Toy Story 5’ Has Grossed at the Box Office

Produced on a reported budget of $250 million, Toy Story 5 has grossed $1.022 billion globally. On Pixar’s all-time rankings, the movie is still trailing hits such as Incredibles 2, which grossed $1.2 billion globally, and Inside Out 2, which made nearly $1.7 billion worldwide, not to mention its two immediate predecessors. Toy Story 5 has now overtaken every 2026 release, as well as past animated offerings such as the original The Lion King, Despicable Me 2, Despicable Me 4, Finding Nemo, Shrek 2, and Minions: The Rise of Gru.
