The latest Toy Story 5 news, headlines and analysis from The NE Times.
Minions & Monsters topped the US chart with $36.4m over Toy Story 5's $31m — a win with caveats in a tighter, more international summer box office.
Pixar's sequel took about $70m as Supergirl opened to roughly $38m, showing family animation's pull while superhero films must now earn trust film by film.
A $170m Supergirl opened soft while Toy Story 5 soared past $585m worldwide — a blunt lesson in audience trust for DC's rebooted universe.
Pixar's long-awaited fifth instalment took an estimated $160m in North America and $312m worldwide, the franchise's strongest-ever launch and the year's biggest opening so far.
