The Toy Story 5 Train Keeps Rolling

You already know how this ends: with Toy Story 5 at the top of the box office. The Disney/Pixar film is expected to bring in $74M in its second weekend, a -54% hold from its massive opening. That's nothing to sneeze at, especially considering it's on track to pass $300M domestic in just 10 days. The real question is, can anything stop this animated juggernaut?

The Competition Falls Short

The answer, at least for now, seems to be no. Warner Bros/DC Studios' Supergirl, which was expected to give Toy Story 5 a run for its money, is underperforming with a projected $40M opening weekend. That's despite a strong start on Wednesday and Thursday, with $7.8M in domestic previews. The film's 57% Rotten Tomatoes score isn't helping, but its audience score of 77% suggests that fans are enjoying it more than critics. Meanwhile, Paramount's Jackass: Best and Last is looking at a modest $8M-$10M opening weekend, but its 88% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes is a promising sign.

What's Working and What's Not

So, what's behind Toy Story 5's continued success? For one, the film's quality is undeniable - it's a beautifully crafted, entertaining movie that appeals to both kids and adults. The fact that it's a known quantity, with a built-in audience from the previous Toy Story films, doesn't hurt either. On the other hand, Supergirl's struggles may be due in part to the crowded superhero landscape, as well as the fact that it's not quite as well-known as some of the other DC characters. As for Jackass: Best and Last, its modest opening is likely due to its niche appeal, but its strong critical reception suggests that it could have legs in the coming weeks. You can catch all of these films in theaters now, and see for yourself which ones are worth the hype.
