    Toy Story 5 had the second-highest grossing opening weekend for an animated film with $160 million domestically. It looks like Toy Story 5 will make at least $420 million domestically and has already made $879 worldwide. The estimated cost of the film is $200 million.

    People go to the movies to see things they want to see. If they are only marginally excited to see a movie, they’ll just watch at home. Great movies have just been in short supply recently between covid and the way studios were treating cast members.

    That said, I’m sure Disney has accounted for flops, especially given how poorly many of their live actions have performed. I’m sure they see a bump in ticket sales for their parks after a big movie is released and theres a ton of merchandise between popcorn buckets, pins, and recycling some of the older merch from around the original release.
