Toy Story 5 Expected to Remain No. 1
Toy Story 5 is forecast to hold the top spot at the North American box office for the second consecutive weekend, despite the release of two major new films, according to industry projections reported by Variety. Pixar's latest animated sequel is expected to earn between $80 million and $90 million in its second weekend, comfortably maintaining the No. 1 position.
The film has already generated approximately $176 million domestically and $328 million worldwide after only a few days in theaters. Its strong performance continues a successful run for animated sequels and contributes to a thriving summer box office season.
Supergirl Opens with Solid but Lower Numbers
DC Studios' Supergirl is projected to open with $47 million to $50 million in North America. Starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, the superhero adventure follows the character on a cosmic journey alongside Krypto the Superdog. Directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira, the film serves as the latest chapter in the rebooted DC Universe following the success of Superman.
While Supergirl is expected to deliver a solid debut, its opening is likely to fall short of Superman, which launched with $125 million last year. The film reportedly carries a production budget of $170 million before marketing costs.
Jackass: Best and Last Targets Modest Opening
Jackass: Best and Last is targeting a domestic opening between $10 million and $12 million from 2,800 theaters. The comedy sequel reunites franchise veterans Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Wee Man for what is being promoted as the final installment in the long-running series.
Summer Box Office Recovering
Industry analysts note that 2026 theatrical revenues are approaching pre-pandemic levels, supported by both franchise films and surprise original hits. The strong performance of Toy Story 5 further bolsters this trend, with animated sequels continuing to draw large audiences.
