Toy Story 5 continues to soar at the box office, while Supergirl looks to scoop up around $40 million domestically for the weekend to debut in second place.
Pixar‘s latest installment in its Oscar-winning animated franchise unboxed around $21.5 million in North America on Friday as it heads to an estimated $72.5 million for the frame. It has an estimated domestic haul of around $300 million following its strong start last weekend as it notched 2026’s biggest opening thus far with $160 million. With returning voice stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, Toy Story 5 looks to drop around 55 percent as the sequel from filmmaker Andrew Stanton and co-director Kenna Harris continues to draw crowds and families.
Warner Bros.‘ Supergirl is experiencing some turbulence after grossing $18 million on Friday, including Thursday previews. Milly Alcock leads director Craig Gillespie’s superhero feature that marks the second big-screen project for the planned slate from DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran, arriving a year after Superman picked up $618 million globally. Supergirl received a B- CinemaScore from audiences, whereas Superman scored an A-.
Supergirl centers on Kara Zor-El, the cousin of the Man of Steel, as she encounters Jason Momoa’s Lobo and other DC staples. It carries a budget of $170 million, making it less of a lift than Superman’s $225 million sum. Up next for DC Studios is this October’s body horror title Clayface, starring Tom Rhys Harries in the lead role.
Also debuting this weekend in wide release is Paramount‘s Jackass: Best and Last, with the latest entry in the gross-out comedy franchise heading for a fourth-place finish. Director Jeff Tremaine’s fifth and supposedly final feature in the ribald Johnny Knoxville-led series is eyeing just under $10 million domestically after pocketing roughly $4 million on Friday, with the benefit of a budget of only $10 million.
Jackass fans appear pleased with the celebration that combines a look back at classic stunts alongside an array of new footage, with Best and Last nabbing an A- CinemaScore. Jackass: Forever, the previous title in the franchise, opened with $23.1 million in February 2022.
In its seventh weekend, Focus Features’ horror movie Obsession is expected to place No. 3 with $2.9 million on Friday for a frame of $9.4 million. With an estimated decline of 30 percent, director Curry Barker’s film is nearing the $250 million mark for its strong run.
Rounding out the top five is Universal’s Disclosure Day, starring Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor. The Steven Spielberg-helmed UFO movie collected $2.3 million Friday and is expected to gross $7.8 million, declining 56 percent for a domestic cume of $94 million.
A24 released director Olivia Wilde’s relationship comedy The Invite on seven screens this weekend following its Sundance premiere. With a cast that includes Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, the Annapurna-produced movie earned around $156,000 on Friday.
Toy Story 5′s strong start helped Disney to cross the $3 billion mark at the global box office on Thursday, becoming the first studio to achieve the feat in 2026. Disney’s previous releases this year include Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Hoppers, with its live-action Moana on the horizon for next month.
Additionally, Scary Movie from Paramount and Miramax crossed $100 million at the domestic box office on Thursday, becoming the first R-rated comedy to hit the milestone since 2017’s Girls Trip.
