Pixar’s Toy Story 5 has officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office. This achievement makes it the sixth film from the studio to reach this financial milestone and confirms its position as the highest-grossing release of 2026 so far.

The film added an estimated $34.7 million to its total over the past weekend. Current numbers show $448.6 million in domestic earnings alongside $573.5 million from international markets. This performance represents a strong showing for director Andrew Stanton and co-director McKenna Harris as the franchise continues to draw massive audiences.

Toy Story 5 now holds the record for the biggest domestic opening of 2026. It has already outperformed the lifetime domestic totals of both Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4. While it currently ranks third in the overall franchise global standings, analysts expect it to climb higher in the coming weeks.

The industry continues to monitor the film’s trajectory as it competes with other major 2026 releases. It joins a select group of billion-dollar earners this year, following the box office runs of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael.
