India clearly doesn’t have infinity and beyond when it comes to Toy Story. Despite being a globally beloved [Pixar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixar) franchise, *Toy Story 5* has posted a worryingly low opening in India — and the numbers tell a disappointing story.

### Toy Story 5 India Box Office — Day-Wise Collections

| Day | Collection |
| --- | --- |
| Day 1 (Friday) | Rs. 1.00 crore |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | Rs. 2.25 crore |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | Rs. 2.75 crore |
| Day 4 (Monday) | Rs. 0.40 crore |
| **4-Day Total** | **Rs. 6.40 crore** |

The film opened to just Rs. 1 crore on its first day and witnessed a steep **60% drop on Monday**, adding a mere Rs. 40 lakh — a clear sign that word-of-mouth isn’t saving it either.

### Why Is Toy Story Struggling in India?

Let’s be honest — this isn’t entirely surprising. *Toy Story 4* (2019) had also opened to around Rs. 5 crore and closed at just Rs. 8 crore in India. The franchise simply doesn’t carry the same emotional pull here that it does in Western markets.

What stings more is the comparison. During similar periods, *Incredibles 2* and *Frozen 2* both crossed Rs. 50 crore in India. More recently, *Inside Out 2*, *Moana 2*, and *Zootopia 2* all surpassed the Rs. 30 crore mark — comfortably outpacing *Toy Story 5* before it’s even finished its run.

At its current pace, the film may scrape together around **Rs. 10 crore lifetime** — a marginal improvement over *Toy Story 4*, but still a significant underperformance.

### What This Means for Hollywood Animation in India

India’s animation market is selective. Character-driven original IPs with strong local marketing (*Frozen*, *Zootopia*, *Moana*) tend to connect better with Indian audiences. Legacy franchises like Toy Story — which built their fanbase in the 90s when India’s multiplex culture was still nascent — haven’t successfully transferred that nostalgia into ticket sales.
