‘Toy Story 5’ delivers franchise-best debut
Giving the summer season another substantial boost, Disney’s Toy Story 5 took off with an estimated $312m debut at the worldwide box office this weekend, the biggest global opening of the year for a US studio film and the biggest ever for the venerable Pixar animated franchise.
In North America, the fifth installment’s estimated $160m debut was the biggest of the year so far, topping the $131.7m grabbed by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at the start of April.
In the international marketplace (where it began its rollout on Wednesday), Toy Story 5’s estimated $152m was the second biggest international opening for a Pixar project, behind only Inside Out 2. The film opened at number one, or number one among non-local titles, in all significant markets except India and Poland, Disney reported.
Latin America delivered the largest chunk of the international haul, with $55.2m, the biggest opening weekend gross of the year across the region. Mexico alone produced $26.6m and Brazil $6.1m.
Europe delivered $53.4m, with $20m coming from the UK, $7.2m from France and $5.5m from Spain.
Asia-Pacific produced $43.4m, led by $18m (Pixar’s second highest debut weekend in the territory) from China, $6.9m from Australia, and $6.1m from Korea.
Imax screens contributed $18.4m of the film’s worldwide total, making Toy Story 5 the giant screen company’s fifth best three-day opener among animated releases.
The fifth installment is now well on its way to out-performing the franchise’s fourth entry, which started with $120.9m in North America in 2019, and third installment, which began with $110.3m domestically in 2010. Each of those releases went on to amass $1.1bn (not adjusted for inflation) from its global run.
‘Disclosure Day’ takes hit, ’Obsession’ passes milestone
With Toy Story 5 commanding the family audience, a handful of holdovers competed for the attentions of cinemagoers in other demographics.
Over its second weekend, Universal’s Disclosure Day managed an estimated global take of $35.7m, dropping to second spot on the weekend chart and taking its total so far to $160.4m.
The Steven Spielberg alien thriller was down 62% in North America with $17m and 57% internationally with $18.7m. It expanded to another 272 screens in the CIS region and took $200,000 across eight markets.
In the UK, the film was down 59% in its second weekend, taking $2.1m for a total to date of $12m. In Mexico, it was down 45% with $2m, for $7.4m to date. France delivered $1.7m for a $5.3m total, and Australia $1.3m for a $4.8m total.
The film’s upcoming openings include Japan at the start of October.
Obsession, from Focus Features and Universal, stayed robust in its sixth weekend, with an estimated global gross of $25.2m, pushing its tally so far past another milestone to $333.3m.
The buzzy horror hit was down only 25% in North America with $14.2m, for a $215.8m total so far, and only 31% internationally with $11m, for a total of $117.4m. The film has now amassed $20.6m from the UK, $9.6m from India, and $7.9m from Mexico, with releases in Germany, Spain, Japan and Korea still to come.
The equally buzzy Backrooms, from A24 and independent international distributors, also crossed another century mark, taking an estimated $19.6m over the weekend for a total so far of $301.1m.
Paramount’s Scary Movie suffered a bigger drop-off but passed the double century mark by taking an estimated $15.8m worldwide over its third weekend for a total of just under $202m.
Lionsgate’s Michael, handled internationally by independents and Universal, added another $13.8m to its haul over the weekend, bringing its worldwide total to $959.6m.
Masters Of The Universe, from Amazon MGM Studios, managed an estimated $8.5m over its third weekend on global release, edging the under-performing Mattel Studios adventure past the century mark to $102m.
International releases join top ten
Non-US films took three of the five places in the bottom half of the weekend chart, with two of them appearing for the first time.
Indian romance Cocktail 2 opened in 16 territories including the UK and took an estimated $8.8m. The Hindi-language romcom about a couple whose relationship is shaken by an elderly friend, is directed by Homi Adajania and stars Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Ramdanna.
I Know Who You Are opened in its home market of China and took an estimated $8.7m over the weekend through Alibaba Pictures. The Mandarin-language historical drama is directed by Xiaogang Feng and stars Jiaylin Lei and Ge Hu in the story of a soldier who spies on a school teacher for decades after the founding of the People’s Republic.
Chinese family drama Dear You, a surprise hit after opening in its home territory at the end of April, moved up a couple of places on the global chart after adding an estimated $12.5m over the weekend to bring its total to $272.3m.
