Toy Story 5 set to dominate box office as Supergirl and Jackass debut

Toy Story 5 is expected to remain No. 1 as Supergirl and Jackass make their theatrical debuts this weekend

Toy Story 5 is expected to remain the top film at the North American box office this weekend despite the arrival of two major new releases, Supergirl and Jackass: Best and Last.

According to industry projections reported by Variety, Pixar’s latest animated sequel is forecast to earn between $80 million and $90 million in its second weekend, comfortably holding the No. 1 position. The film has already generated approximately $176 million domestically and $328 million worldwide after only a few days in theatres.

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.

Meanwhile, Jackass: Best and Last is targeting a domestic opening between $10 million and $12 million from 2,800 theatres. The comedy sequel reunites franchise veterans Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Wee Man for what is being promoted as the final instalment in the long-running series.

The strong performance of Toy Story 5 continues a successful run for animated sequels and contributes to a thriving summer box office season. Industry analysts note that 2026 theatrical revenues are approaching pre-pandemic levels, supported by both franchise films and surprise original hits.
