‘Toy Story 5’ Wins Best Monday of 2026 So Far at Domestic Box Office, Bringing In $17.3M

Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 delivered its strongest Monday of the year so far on June 22, generating $17.3 million at the domestic box office, according to Deadline’s box office tracking published June 23. The performance made it the best Monday seen during 2026 year-to-date, placing it ahead of other major studio releases’ Monday openings within the same calendar period.

Deadline compared the Monday figure to Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s first Monday, dated April 6, which earned $16.8 million domestically. With Toy Story 5 edging that mark by $0.5 million, the film took over the top spot for the best Monday so far in 2026’s domestic box office history.

The Monday total also came in ahead of a prior holiday Monday benchmark from Disney and Lucasfilm mentioned in Deadline’s report, referencing a Memorial Day Monday performance. Deadline did not provide an alternate figure in the excerpt available here beyond identifying Toy Story 5 as surpassing that earlier Monday result.

In practical terms, Monday grosses are often used by distributors and theaters as an early indicator of whether a film’s opening-weekend audience is sustaining beyond the first surge. A top-ranked Monday can also impact how studios and exhibition partners weigh marketing spend and screen allocation during the remainder of the week, especially for family-oriented titles that can depend on steady attendance from week to week.

Toy Story 5, as framed by Deadline, is now leading the domestic Monday rankings for 2026 year-to-date. That matters for Disney and Pixar because the brand is typically used as a cornerstone for family viewing, and because major animated franchises often rely on repeat viewings and weekend-to-weekday momentum to maintain overall box office performance.

As of this report date, the central data point remains the same: Toy Story 5’s $17.3 million domestic Monday, the highest Monday total in 2026 so far, according to Deadline’s comparisons. Additional updates would typically follow once later midweek and full-weekend numbers are tallied, allowing analysts to assess whether the Monday performance translated into broader week totals.
