Disney and Pixar's 'Toy Story 5' debuted at the top of the U.K. and Ireland box office over the weekend of June 19-21, 2026, earning £15.3 million ($20.2 million) from over 300 locations, according to industry data verified by multiple sources. This marks the biggest opening weekend of 2026 in the region, surpassing previous records for an animated film.
The film, which continues the adventures of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the gang, received strong audience reviews, with a verified audience score of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes as of June 24, 2026. Critics praised the film's emotional depth and animation quality, though some noted it follows familiar franchise patterns.
Box office analysts attribute the success to strong family turnout and nostalgia for the series, which began in 1995. The opening weekend also benefited from school holidays in parts of the U.K. and Ireland.
Globally, 'Toy Story 5' has earned over $400 million since its release in early June, making it one of the year's top-grossing films. Disney has not yet announced plans for a sixth installment.
