Box Office Preview: “Toy Story 5” Targets a Near-$90M Second Weekend, Closing the Gap With “Supergirl”

Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5” is aiming for roughly a $90 million second frame, while Warner Bros.’ DC Studios title “Supergirl” is described as the comparative benchmark heading into the weekend.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5” is set for its second weekend in theaters with expectations anchored around a near-$90 million total, according to a Deadline box office preview published June 24, 2026. The report frames “Toy Story 5” as positioned to play better than “Supergirl” over the same period, noting that it will have “more friends” than the James Gunn and Peter Safran-era DC Studios feature. The preview describes “Toy Story 5” as entering its second weekend as part of Disney and Pixar’s continuing run in multiplexes. It also ties the movie’s current theater performance to broader attendance patterns, comparing the momentum of Pixar’s latest installment to Warner Bros.’ “Supergirl,” which has been in theaters long enough for its own second-weekend trajectory to become a relevant point of comparison. On the Warner side, the Deadline report characterizes “Supergirl” as a $170 million DC Studios production, the second production under the James Gunn and Peter Safran operation at Warner Bros.’ comic book division after “Superman,” which the report says opened with a $125 million domestic debut last summer. In that framing, “Supergirl” is positioned not only as a franchise entry, but also as an early gauge of how the DC Studios leadership approach is landing with domestic audiences. The Deadline preview also places the movies in a specific release and distribution context. It reports that “Supergirl” is expected to open in the upper $40 millions at 3,600 theaters stateside, describing the wide theatrical footprint that typically shapes the opening weekend ceiling and the early second-weekend hold. Although the report emphasizes the comparative weekend story, it stops short of detailing specific ticket counts, week-to-week percentage holds, or full studio breakdowns beyond the headline figures. The core takeaway is the weekend ranking question, with “Toy Story 5” expected to land close to $90 million in its second weekend total and to outperform “Supergirl” in the preview’s “more friends” comparison. The next measurable benchmarks will come from weekend final box office numbers and the subsequent week-to-week changes that studios and exhibitors track through actual weekend grosses, theater counts, and screen utilization. Those figures will clarify whether the early comparative framing holds up once daily grosses and final reporting are completed for the June 24-28 weekend period.

Why It Matters

  • Weekend final grosses help studios, exhibitors, and distributors evaluate momentum beyond opening weekend, including how well films hold attention into their second frame.
  • The “Toy Story 5” versus “Supergirl” comparison is effectively a test of how Disney and Pixar’s brand strength is performing alongside Warner’s DC Studios slate under the Gunn-Safran framework.
  • The preview’s theater-count and opening-weekend framing underscores the practical economic stakes for wide releases, where screen availability and early audience demand can influence the full run.
  • For DC Studios, the reported placement of “Supergirl” within the Gunn-Safran early lineup makes its weekend trajectory part of the public performance record for that production slate.
  • As final numbers arrive, they will provide a concrete basis for how each studio’s theatrical strategy is translating into domestic audience retention, not just first-weekend impact.
