Toy Story 5 Crosses The USD 1 Billion Mark Worldwide And Officially Becomes 2026’s Biggest Blockbuster

Six weekends in, and Pixar’s toy box is still overflowing with cash. Toy Story 5 has quietly crept past the USD 1 billion mark globally, and in doing so, it’s knocked every other 2026 release off the top spot.

It’s the kind of milestone that sneaks up on you — no single explosive weekend, just steady, dependable earning week after week, the same way Woody and Buzz have always shown up when it mattered.

Toy Story 5: The Numbers Behind the Milestone

In its sixth overseas weekend, the film added roughly USD 24.7 million, pushing its international total to USD 573.5 million. Combined with a USD 448.5 million domestic haul, that’s a clean USD 1.02 billion worldwide. Germany’s April 23 release gave the film a fresh push right when momentum usually starts to fade.

A Franchise Record No One Else Holds

Toy Story now has the distinction of being the first Hollywood franchise to send three separate films past the billion-dollar mark — a feat that says as much about audience loyalty as it does about the film itself. Trackers expect the final tally to land somewhere between USD 1.1 and 1.2 billion once the run wraps up.

That puts it ahead of Michael’s lifetime cume, officially making Toy Story 5 the highest grosser of 2026 so far — joining just two other films this year, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael, in the billion-dollar club.

What’s Next

All eyes now turn to Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which is climbing steadily and could be the next film to challenge Toy Story 5’s spot at the top.
