Disney and Pixar are unwrapping a major box office gift with Toy Story 5, which is headed toward the biggest opening of the year so far in the $160 million range. That’s after the film notched the second biggest opening day of all time for an animated feature with $71 million, just behind The Incredibles 2‘s $72.2 million in 2018.
Audiences gave the film an A CinemaScore and are pacing ahead of 2019’s Toy Story 4, which bowed to $120.9 million in June. Toy Story veteran Andrew Stanton directs, with Kenna Harris co-directing.
Steven Spielberg and Universal’s original sci-fi feature Disclosure Day is falling 69 percent and is expected to earn around $17 million in its second weekend after opening to $44 million. Its domestic tally will end the weekend with about $78 million.
In its sixth weekend, Focus Features’ box office sensation Obsession will finally post a weekend smaller than its opening of $17.2 million, and is expected to pull in around $14 million for a domestic total of around $215 million. It long ago became Focus’ No. 1 movie of all time both domestically and globally, where it has passed $300 million.
New entries include Neon horror feature Leviticus. The well-regarded Sundance horror title is looking to bring in around $3 million, while Hugh Jackman starrer The Death of Robin Hood is eying around $2.5 million. Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One filmmaker Michael Sarnoski is behind the project, which tells the story of Robin Hood’s later days.
