Summary

  • Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 5 reached $1.022 billion worldwide, overtaking Michael and Super Mario Galaxy Movie to become 2026’s top-grossing film and Disney’s first $1 billion release of the year.
  • $34.7 million in its latest global weekend pushed the sequel past the milestone, with $448.6 million domestic and $573.5 million overseas; China contributed $41.6 million, behind Mexico’s $75 million and the UK’s $65 million.
  • Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey added $215.3 million worldwide in its second weekend for a $640 million total, slipping just 18% globally and 10% overseas while already ranking as the year’s fourth-biggest film.
  • Imax is powering that run with $140 million so far—53% of The Odyssey’s global total—including a record $48 million sophomore weekend, as 70mm screenings remain sold out into September.
  • The strong holds for both films underscore a robust global summer box office, with Sony’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day still ahead and tracking for a roughly $195 million to $250 million U.S./Canada debut.
