Internationally, it was just as successful, with $152 million in opening-weekend sales, for a worldwide haul of $312 million. The Toy Story franchise is one of the most profitable for The Walt Disney Co. Before Toy Story 5 launched, the movies had collectively grossed more than $3 billion, while also pulling in billions from merchandising. Though the series seemed to reach a conclusion with 2010’s Toy Story 3 , the decision to revive the franchise almost a decade later — while controversial — has been extremely lucrative. Toy Story 4 exceeded $1 billion in ticket sales, and Toy Story 5 is all but certain to as well.

The fifth movie cost $250 million to make, not including marketing. It returns a voice cast led by Tom Hanks (as Woody), Tim Allen (as Buzz Lightyear) and Joan Cusack (as Jessie). In the sequel, the toys are pushed aside when Bonnie gets a new tablet. It’s directed by Andrew Stanton, the Pixar veteran who helmed Finding Nemo (2003) and WALL-E (2008). Toy Story 5 also features a new song by Taylor Swift , “I Knew It, I Knew You.” Reviews have been very good and audiences gave Toy Story 5 an “A” CinemaScore, suggesting it should remain a force in theaters for weeks. After its chart-topping debut, Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day slipped to second place with $17 million in its second weekend. That’s not the hold that Universal Pictures was hoping for. Dropping 61% from its first weekend suggests Disclosure Day might not find the legs Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller needs to break out this summer. Still, the $115 million budgeted movie, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor and Colman Domingo, has grossed $160.4 million globally in two weeks. Disclosure Day stands a good chance of remaining the top adult-oriented option in theaters in the coming weeks. Toy Story 5 faced little competition from newcomers. A24’s The Death of Robin Hood , a violent revisionist approach to the old legend, flopped with $2.6 million on 1,762 screens. The film, starring Hugh Jackman and d
