Toy Story 5 shattered records during its opening weekend, dominating the global box office and proving the Pixar franchise remains an unstoppable force. The animated sequel easily outperformed DC Studios' highly anticipated gritty Supergirl reboot starring Milly Alcock, securing the top spot worldwide despite fierce competition.
Record-Breaking Performance
According to analysts, the film earned an estimated $450 million globally in its first three days, setting a new benchmark for animated releases. This figure surpasses the previous record held by Incredibles 2 by 15%.
Supergirl's Strong but Second-Place Debut
Supergirl, directed by James Gunn, earned $280 million worldwide, a strong opening but no match for Pixar's family appeal. Analysts note that while Supergirl earned praise for its bold direction, it was no match for Pixar's multi-generational pull, highlighting a trend of family franchises outperforming superhero blockbusters.
