The 1995 film, Toy Story, received rave reviews from critics and currently holds a rare 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. At the box office, it grossed $401.2 million worldwide, and its success was followed by four sequels and the 2022 spin-off, Lightyear. Now, all eyes are on Toy Story 5, which is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026.
The combined worldwide earnings of the four Toy Story films and the spin-off are roughly $3.255 billion. So, for the franchise to surpass the $3.5 billion mark, the fifth installment would need to earn at least $245 million at the global box office. Keeping in mind the track record of the earlier Toy Story films, it is likely to achieve that target.
Now, let’s take a look at whether Toy Story 5 can earn enough at the domestic box office to rank among Pixar’s top ten highest-grossing films of all time.
Pixar’s Top 10 Highest-Grossing Films (North America)
Here is the list of Pixar’s top ten highest-grossing films at the North American box office, according to data from Box Office Mojo.
- Inside Out 2 (2024): $653 million
- Incredibles 2 (2018): $608.6 million
- Finding Dory (2016): $486.3 million
- Toy Story 4 (2019): $434 million
- Toy Story 3 (2010): $415 million

- Up (2009): $293 million
- Monsters University (2013): $268.5 million
- The Incredibles (2004): $261.4 million
What The Above Numbers Mean For Toy Story 5
Based on the above figures, for Toy Story 5 to crack the top ten highest-grossing Pixar films at the domestic box office, it needs to earn more than $261.4 million in North America.
The first four films in the main Toy Story franchise earned $229.9 million, $245.9 million, $415 million, and $434 million, respectively. So, the per-film average domestic earnings of the Toy Story films are approximately $331 million.
If Toy Story 5 can gross more than the franchise average, it will comfortably surpass the $261.4 million mark and enter Pixar’s all-time domestic top ten. Having said that, the film’s actual box office performance will become clear only after its theatrical release on June 19.
