Toy Story 5 ‘maybe after 2.5 years’, Toy Story 4 pushes franchise to $3bn mark

Josh Cooley-directed Toy Story 4 was released on June 21, 2019. The success of this Pixar movie opens another door Toy Story 5. Read the texts below to get more updates.

Toy Story 4 in the series has accumulated USD 922.9 million globally that pushes the entire franchise’s lifetime gross to USD 2.893 billion. The fourth movie played to 3,610 theaters, and averaging $2,896 per theater for a weekend total of $10.4 million. Forbes reported that total is just a 32.8 percent drop over the previous weekend, when the fourth franchise film pulled in USD 15.6 million.

Toy Story 4, which is currently in the sixth week, is showing minimal signs of slowing down as huge competition continues to hit the big screens. It has maintained the momentum going over the last six weeks and good to say that it is in line with Toy Story 3’s earnings.

As far as Toy Story 5 is concerned, the making of this movie is yet to be announced. But we believe this is too early to receive any update from Pixar and Walt Disney on the making of another movie. Remember Toy Story was released in June 2010 and it took 4 years for Disney to announced Toy Story 4 at an investor’s call in November 2014.

Even there were 9 years between Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 films, a similar gap of 11 years between the second and third movies. This clearly indicates we will have to wait for few more years to get the announcement and almost a decade to see the premiering of Toy Story 5.

“Well, no-one is planning on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere two-and-a-half years from now someone has this kernel of an idea that could become it,” Tom Hanks said to Ladbible.
