Unfazed by World Cup: 'Toy Story 5' Earns 479.6 Billion Won in Opening Week, Second-Highest for Pixar

Returning after seven years, "Toy Story 5" has achieved record-breaking box office results both domestically and internationally.

According to Box Office Mojo, a U.S. box office tracking site, "Toy Story 5" took the top spot with a global opening weekend revenue of $312 million (approximately 479.6 billion won). It earned $160 million in North America and $152 million in international markets. This marks the second-largest opening in Pixar's history, following "Inside Out 2" ($384 million) in 2024.

Although there were concerns that the release of "Toy Story 5" would be negatively impacted by the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, the effect of the tournament remained limited.

Despite the Group A match between Mexico and South Korea taking place on the 19th (local time), the same day as the North American release of "Toy Story 5," Mexico generated $26.6 million over the weekend (June 19 – 20), marking the highest box office revenue outside of the U.S. However, Box Office Mojo projected that "there is a possibility of an impact as the quarterfinals approach next week or the final in early July."

"Toy Story 5" also topped the box office in South Korea. Released on the 18th, the film secured the number one spot by attracting 870,000 viewers nationwide through its first weekend.
