It’s an understatement to say that Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 5 is off to great global start at the box office with $129.3M so far, the Andrew Stanton directed movie bound to beat its worldwide opening forecast of $275M.

Broken out that’s $71M domestic for Toy Story 5, which as we told you was the second best Friday ever for an animated movie behind Incredibles 2‘s $71.2M, with another $58.3M currently from offshore.

Stateside outlook has risen to $160M-$170M (past its earlier week $140M projection) Note, the best global opening ever for a Pixar movie in like-for-likes belongs to Inside Out 2 with $384M WW ($230 Int’l, $154M domestic).

Friday saw seven more markets including UK and China bringing the fifthquel’s territory count to 48.

The UK with $5.5M repped the best opening day for a Pixar movie. Ditto for China where Jessie, Woody, and Buzz raked in $7.4M.

Toy Story 5 opened to either No. 1 or No. 1 non-local in all markets including Mexico ($11.4M), China, UK, France ($3M), Spain ($2.7M), Italy, Australia ($2M) and Brazil ($1.9M). The only places Toy Story 5 wasn’t No. 1 or a No. 1 MPA title was India and Vietnam. Argentina saw its second best opening day of 2026 on Thursday with $1.1M, now with a $2M running cume.

Korea opened to No. 1 on Wednesday with $1.1M with a 50% share. That opening day was third highest for a MPA title YTD and fifth highest Pixar opening day of all-time. Current social scores are strong with Naver 9.69/CGV 98%. The pic’s cume in Korea is now up to $1.7M.

In the rest of Europe, Toy Story 5 repped the second highest Pixar opening day of all-time and the highest opening day of 2026 in Turkey.

The toys commanded a 30% market share in the Middle Kingdom, where the fifthquel was also the second highest animated opening for a MPA title since 2020, behind only Zootopia 2 (that sequel screamed a massive $271.7M opening in reported grosses, ultimately grossing $651.3M in China as part of its overall $1.86 billion worldwide). There’s strong social scores with Mayan at 9.6, TTP at 9.5 and Douban at 8. In Vietnam, the Pixar title saw the second highest opening day YTD for a MPA theatrical release.
