Off the back of a barnstorming second weekend, Toy Story 5 has muscled into an elite box-office club — and it got there quicker than its 2026 peers.

Right, if you thought the Toy Story saga was finished after four films and an existential monologue from a spork, you'd be wrong. Toy Story 5 has rocked up and stomped its way into a very exclusive club for 2026, raking in a box office total that leaves its competition coughing in the dust.

Toy Story 5 has cracked $1.022 billion worldwide, beating out both The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael, and did it in about five weeks flat.

Billion-Dollar Showdown

The numbers are genuinely something: the Pixar sequel didn’t just cross the billion-dollar mark—it did so at a speed that makes the competition look positively sluggish. It opened in the US on 19 June and pulled in an absolutely massive $159.6 million for its opening weekend. For context (and possible schadenfreude), The Super Mario Galaxy Movie launched back on 1 April with $131.7 million domestically, and Michael, that Michael Jackson biopic everyone’s been nattering about, landed at $97.2 million during the tail-end of April. No contest really, is it?

  • Toy Story 5 – $1.022 billion worldwide; $159.6 million US opening
  • Super Mario Galaxy Movie – $1.011 billion; $131.7 million US opening
  • Michael – $1.010 billion; $97.2 million US opening

Who’s Winning Where?

Stateside, Toy Story 5 isn’t just topping the pile—it’s got $448.5 million in domestic gross so far. That’s a domestic split of 43.9%, slightly edging Mario’s 42.5% (which translates to $429.8 million), and comfortably ahead of Michael’s $372.3 million haul in the States (which, interestingly, is just 36.9% of its box office: Michael’s a much bigger deal overseas).

Internationally, Michael’s got the edge in places like the UK (surprise), Brazil, and Saudi Arabia. But Toy Story 5 has absolutely cleaned up in Latin America—just look at Mexico alone, where it’s already banked $71.3 million. And what’s slightly mad is the film hasn’t even had its full European release yet. It’s still set for a wider rollout in Germany and Austria in late July, which (if people still have energy for Woody and pals) could drag those numbers substantially higher. The gap between these billion-dollar hits? Only set to widen.
