Before the film’s release, the movies collectively grossed over USD 3 billion, while also taking in billions from sales. Although the series seemed to reach a conclusion with ‘Toy Story 3’ in 2010, the decision to revive the franchise almost a decade later – while controversial – was extremely profitable.Among animated films, only ‘Incredibles 2’ in 2018 had a bigger opening weekend at the US box office with a haul of USD 182.7 million.
Toy Story 5 USD 250 million budget
Continuing with the ‘Toy Story’ movies is getting more expensive, though. The fifth movie cost USD 250 million to make, not including marketing. It returns a voice cast led by Tom Hanks (as Woody), Tim Allen (as Buzz Lightyear) and Joan Cusack (as Jessie).In the sequel, toys are put aside when Bonnie gets a new tablet.

‘Revelation Day: ‘ moved to second place
After its chart-topping debut, Steven Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ slipped to second place with USD 17 million in its second weekend. That’s not the grip Universal Pictures was hoping for. A 61% drop from its first weekend suggests that ‘Disclosure Day’ may not find the legs that Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller needs to come out this summer.However, the USD 115 million budgeted movie, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor and Colman Domingo, grossed USD 160.4 million worldwide in two weeks. ‘Disclosure Day’ stands a good chance of remaining the top choice for adults in theaters in the coming weeks.
‘Obsession: ‘ scored a USD 333 global haul
The top horror pick remains ‘Obsession’, the microbudget phenomenon of 26-year-old Curry Barker. In its sixth weekend, it nearly equaled the USD 17 million opening weekend from mid-May. The Focus Features release, which cost less than USD 1 million to make, added USD 14.2 million to bring its domestic total to USD 215.8 million and its global haul to USD 333.3 million.
‘The Death of Robin Hood’ flopped with a $2.6 million collection
‘Toy Story 5’ faces a bit of competition from newcomers. A24’s ‘The Death of Robin Hood’, a brutal revisionist take on the ancient legend, fell to USD 2.6 million on 1,762 screens. The film, starring Hugh Jackman and directed by Michael Sarnoski, has a modest budget of USD 20 million. But after seeing mixed reviews, the audience didn’t go to the movie either. It earned a “C+” CinemaScore.
‘Leviticus’ defeats ‘Robin Hood’
Neon’s ‘Leviticus’ came out ahead of ‘The Death of Robin Hood’, with USD 2.7 million from 1,076 theaters. Written and directed by Adrian Chiarella, the terrifying low-budget horror film is about two teenage boys who meet in conversion therapy. This is a good start for an indie with a small budget of USD 3.5 million and good word-of-mouth. But ‘Leviticus’ also faces unusually strong competition from the still-powerful horror hits ‘Obsession’ and ‘Backrooms’.
The summer box office saw a good growth
