Check out the global totals of the Toy Story movies from highest to lowest
- Toy Story (1995) – $405.2 million
- Toy Story 2 (1999) – $497.4 million
- Toy Story 3 (2010) – $1.06 billion
- Toy Story 4 (2019) – $1.07 billion

Toy Story 5 needs less than $1 billion to push the franchise past the $4 billion global milestone!
So, Toy Story 5 needs to gross around $967.4 million worldwide for the franchise to cross the $4 billion milestone. Therefore, it is a target below the $1 billion mark. Since the movies have seen significant jumps with each installment and are tracking to earn $150 million to $175 million on their opening weekend at the domestic box office, earning $1 billion should not be an impossible task. However, the box office is quite unpredictable, and things have to be near-perfect for it to enter the $1 billion club.
It is a major global milestone for any film, and if it lands within this opening-weekend range, it is already getting a strong head start. Directed by Andrew Stanton, Toy Story 5 will be released on June 19.
