Disney Slashes Hundreds of Jobs, Pixar Bears the Brunt

Disney is cutting several hundred jobs across ESPN, Disney Entertainment Television, and its studios, with Pixar bearing the bulk of the reductions in production and operations as the company tightens its output toward fewer, higher‑quality theatrical releases and streaming. The layoffs follow earlier rounds in April, affecting National Geographic and other units, amid a broader restructuring; Pixar has released Hoppers and Toy Story 5 this year, the latter nearing the billion-dollar mark.

Odyssey Rules Global Box Office as Toy Story 5 Nears $1B

Universal/Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey led the global box office with a $263.7M weekend, supported by a strong overseas start ($140.2M) and a solid North American debut ($123.5M). Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Soccer claimed a distant second with a global total over $214M, while Toy Story 5 followed in third and is on the cusp of $1B worldwide. Moana and Minions & Monsters also posted notable top-5 totals, with China hosting multiple local titles like All Wishes Come True and A Part of Me amid holiday crowds.

Moana remake underperforms with $45M debut as Toy Story 5 and Minions dominate

Disney’s live‑action Moana remake opened to about $45 million domestically (18.2 million on opening day) from 3,872 theaters, well below projections as competition from Minions & Monsters and Toy Story 5 dampened momentum; overseas numbers were weak (UK opening day around £775,000). With a budget of at least $200 million plus roughly $100 million in marketing, the film faces an uphill path to profitability despite strong interest in the original’s franchise, aided only modestly by merchandising and park revenue. CinemaScore is A-, indicating decent audience reception but not enough to offset the tepid box-office debut.

Minions Fatigue Hits U.S. Box Office as New Spin-off Starts Soft

IndieWire reports that Minions & Monsters opened to a franchise-low domestic $62M over the 5-day July 4 weekend, while global total nears $160.5M on an $85M budget; with the overall U.S. box office down about 23% year over year, competition from Toy Story 5 and possible audience fatigue may be weighing the film, despite a solid CinemaScore (A-) and positive reviews. Illumination still has other big titles planned, signaling the franchise isn’t dead yet.

Supergirl underperforms, prompting internal studio analysis and a bake-off between versions. Obsession remains in the top 10 but drops from the top five, and the piece also notes on AI actor Tilly Norwood’s Misaligned project and a planned Young Washington sequel.

Toy Story 5 Dominates Weekend Box Office as Supergirl Flops

Warner Bros/DC’s Supergirl opens to a weak $38 million domestic (about $68 million global) on a reported $170 million budget, far short of Toy Story 5’s $300 million domestic in 10 days. Tepid audience reception (CinemaScore B-, 52% definite recommend on PostTrak; 56% critics vs. 77% audience on Rotten Tomatoes) and a skewed, non-targeted audience suggest limited box-office potential, making it unlikely to break even. Toy Story 5 continues to draw four-quadrant crowds and is on track for a well over $500 million domestic total, underscoring DC’s ongoing box-office struggles while Pixar thrives.
