Disney’s Toy Story 5 scored a huge £9.2m second weekend at the UK-Ireland box office, as Warner Bros’ Supergirl replicated its flat worldwide performance with £2.1m.
Toy Story 5 fell just 36% with £9.2m, far better than its 55% North America drop and in line with its drop in international markets. It is up to £29m already in the UK and Ireland, with its second weekend figure and total to date the best for the five-film series.
Woody, Buzz and co have passed the likes of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical (£28.6m) and The Grinch (£28.2m) already, and will be looking to hit the £50m mark within a few weeks.
Disney’s 2019 The Lion King (£76m) remains the highest-grossing animated film of all time in the territory, with Toy Story 3 (£74.1m) close behind. Such figures are a massive ask for number 5, although the £66.2m of 2019’s Toy Story 4 is slightly closer.
Supergirl made a sluggish start with its £2.1m coming from 639 sites at a £3,361 location average. This is down on the £7m start at a £9,990 average of last year’s Superman, the first film in the rebooted DC Universe; as well as being down on the openings of superhero films led by women, such as the £5m at an £8,280 average of Warner Bros’ Wonder Woman from 2017.
Supergirl made £2.7m total including its previews on Thursday 25.
Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day dropped 49% on its third weekend in cinemas for Universal, with £880,506 bringing it beyond the £10m mark, to £10.8m total. It has already passed the £7.8m of Spielberg’s 2021 West Side Story, although the £16.1m of 2018’s Ready Player One looks a massive ask from this position.
Jackass: Best And Last opened to £780,000 for Paramount from 545 sites at a £1,431 average. It is the second-lowest opening of the five main Jackass films so far, above only 2006’s Jackass: Number Two with £735,274. The highest-grossing title in the series is 2013 spin-off Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa with £6.5m, while of the core Jackass titles, most recent entry Jackass Forever from 2022 is top with £6.3m. Best And Last will need a lengthy tail to catch either.
Curry Barker’s horror sensation Obsession held on to a top five spot for an extraordinary seventh consecutive weekend. The film added £584,317, with a drop of 37% less than most of the market. It is up to a huge £16.5m, overtaking both last year’s horror hit Sinners (£16.2m) and genre comparison Black Swan (a lower £16.5m) and with horror staples such as The Silence Of The Lambs (£17.1m) and Se7en (£19.5m) not too far ahead.
