It must be pandemonium in Cineplexes right now.

“Toy Story 5” actually crossed the $200 million line yesterday. It took five days (six if you count previews).

That’s $45 million ahead of “Toy Story 4” back in 2019.

Some of the overwhelming enthusiasm probably has to do with Taylor Swift singing that title song.

But also, school is out, there’s not much to see for families where kids and adults can sit together without embarrassment.

Still, “Toy Story 5” has really set the box office ablaze.

Compare that to the horror hit of the spring, “Obsession.” It’s made $220 million, but it’s taken 40 days.

Not all good news. “Disclosure Day” will go down in the books as the rare Steven Spielberg failure. Right now, the box office is at $83 million. The $100 mil target is far away in another galaxy. I’m not surprised. Everything about the way this film was presented to the press was weird. There something off, a little sour, about the momentum.

You can’t win them all, and Spielberg isn’t done by far. But maybe next movie, don’t have a party after the opening and deny its obvious existence. Still my favorite story of 2026!
