Toy Story 5 will stream on Disney+ starting September 23. After opening to a $160 million domestic debut and crossing $1 billion worldwide, the film remains a box-office success and marks the third Toy Story movie to reach the billion-dollar milestone. Directed by Andrew Stanton, the plot introduces Lilypad, a disruptive tablet idea, with a voice cast led by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen among others.
Toy Story 5 hits Disney+ on September 23 after roaring to over $1 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Toy Story installment. The film reunites Woody, Buzz and the gang as they navigate an era where technology threatens playtime, and Disney has also released a piano-version music video by Taylor Swift featuring Toy Story 5 footage on Disney+, Spotify, and Apple Music.
Insidious: Out of the Further is the weekend’s marquee theatrical release, with Toy Story 5 now available to rent or buy and The Christophers streaming on Hulu; the lineup also includes nationwide expansions for Jane Schoenbrun’s Camp Miasma, the Anthony Bourdain biopic Tony, and Matthew McConaughey’s The Rivals of Amziah King, plus other streaming and rental options.
Toy Story 5 arrives on digital platforms August 18, with the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD versions—and a limited-edition 4K SteelBook—releasing September 22, plus a raft of bonus features like Taylor Swift music videos and behind-the-scenes material as Pixar keeps the billion-dollar momentum going.
Through Aug. 9, 2026, the U.S. summer box office stands at about $3.985B, just $14.8M away from crossing $4B for May 1–Aug. 9 (per Rentrak); 2013’s $4.755B all-time summer record is in reach. The surge is led by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Toy Story 5 and The Odyssey (roughly $1.58B together), with The Obsession and The Backrooms adding about $460.7M, leaving five films totaling about $2B (50% of summer). August could maintain the momentum with new tentpoles like The End of Oak Street as the season heads toward a possible crossing of the $4B threshold.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day becomes the fourth 2026 film to surpass $1 billion worldwide, joining The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Michael, and Toy Story 5, signaling a record year for billion-dollar releases driven by higher ticket prices and premium formats; with The Odyssey near the milestone and more titles expected to cross $1B, the industry is seeing growth abroad alongside a domestic pace toward $10B for the year.
Disney’s fiscal third quarter was powered by Toy Story 5 and strong theme-park performance, delivering $25.2 billion in revenue (up 7%) and $5.5 billion in operating income (up 21%), with streaming turning more clearly profitable. While some franchises underperformed at the box office, Disney outlined a broad strategic shift—moving consumer products into the entertainment division, turning Disney+ into a comprehensive membership ecosystem, and using AI to boost creativity and efficiency—funded in part by stock buybacks from the $1.2 billion sale of its A+E stake. Parks remained a bright spot domestically despite softer international attendance, and the company signaled significant changes ahead across its divisions.
Disney posted a strong June quarter with streaming revenue and profits rising, and CEO Josh D’Amaro announced a strategic shift moving most consumer-products revenue from Disney Experiences to Disney Entertainment’s studios starting fiscal 2027; Toy Story 5 boosted both box office and streaming engagement, ESPN performed well, and AI initiatives were outlined for the parks alongside a TikTok deal to create Shorts tied to Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars and other properties. Net income was $2.63B on $25.2B in revenue, with total segment operating income up 21% to $5.6B and plans for continued cost cuts and higher share buybacks.
Disney posted a 21% jump in Q3 operating income to $5.6B on revenue of $25.2B, powered by Toy Story 5, stronger park attendance, and streaming profits that more than doubled to $712M on $5.5B SVOD revenue; the company also disclosed the $1.2B sale of its 50% stake in A+E Global Media, continued ESPN strength, and a plan to make Disney+ a central, more expansive membership ecosystem with international originals.
Toy Story 5 crossed $1 billion at the global box office on its sixth weekend, after a $312M global opening and a $34M frame (including $10M domestic), making Pixar the sixth studio to reach $1B and the third 1B film of 2026, while setting a new franchise record ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Universal’s The Odyssey remains the global box office leader with a strong second weekend bringing its worldwide cume toward $640M and a notable $215.3M weekend total powered in part by about $140M from IMAX; Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 5 climbed past $1B worldwide, hitting roughly $1.022B (about $448.6M domestic and $573.5M international), making it the top grosser of the year so far. The Odyssey posted robust international holds in markets like France, Italy, Australia, and the UK, aided by large-format play, while Odyssey’s strong performance solidifies Universal’s standing in a year already favorable to global releases.
Toy Story 5 has crossed $1.022 billion worldwide, becoming the year’s highest-grossing release with $448 million domestic and $573 million international. It opened to $160 million and is on track to surpass Toy Story 4’s $1.07 billion, underscoring strong franchise performance for Pixar even as Disney pursues layoffs in the animation division.
Christopher Nolan’s Homeric epic The Odyssey earned $87 million in its second weekend, down only 30% from a $123.5 million debut, pushing North American totals to about $286 million and worldwide to $639 million, as Hadestown, Moana, and Toy Story 5 also perform strongly and Spider-Man: Brand New Day eyes the summer slate.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey holds the domestic crown in its second weekend, pulling in about $25.9 million on Friday and tracking toward an $84 million weekend with North American total around $283 million after two weeks; worldwide debut is about $264.1 million and on pace to exceed $1 billion globally. The musical Hadestown is runner-up with an estimated $9 million for the weekend (about $4 million on Friday), followed by Disney’s live-action Moana (~$3.1 million Friday; ~$10.8 million over the weekend), Toy Story 5 (~$2.9 million Friday; ~$10.1 million), and Minions & Monsters (~$2.8 million Friday; ~$9.5 million), underscoring a robust summer box office with a mix of hits and notable underperformers for Disney.
Disney announced its third round of layoffs this year, affecting Disney Entertainment Television, ESPN, corporate, and Disney Studios, with Pixar’s Emeryville unit hardest hit (roughly 116 cuts per sources). The move fits a broader push to make Disney more agile as it shifts focus from streaming to theatrical releases; despite Toy Story 5’s strong opening (worldwide about $312 million, $160 million domestic), Pixar’s original projects have underperformed, and the company has trimmed staff in prior years. As of late 2025, Disney employed around 230,000 people globally.
