The multiplex this weekend belonged to familiar faces — animated and caped alike. Toy Story 5 kept the No. 1 spot for a second straight weekend, while the most-anticipated newcomer, Supergirl, opened in second.

Pixar holds the line

Toy Story 5 took in an estimated $72.5 million domestically in its second weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter — a steep drop of roughly 55% from its record-setting debut, but still more than enough to stay on top. The Pixar sequel's domestic total now sits around $300 million, and Disney had already passed $3 billion worldwide for the year, THR reported. Its $160 million opening last weekend remains 2026's biggest domestic launch.

Supergirl arrives — but not with a bang

Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) and starring the Australian actor Milly Alcock, opened to an estimated $40 million for the weekend, with about $18 million on Friday that included $7.8 million from Thursday previews, per THR and Variety. (Weekend figures are studio estimates and will be finalized.)

For a film with a reported $170 million production budget, that opening is a number Warner Bros. and DC Studios will examine closely. Audiences gave it a "B-" CinemaScore — softer than the "A-" earned last year by Superman, the film that launched James Gunn and Peter Safran's rebooted DC universe — a grade that can foreshadow quicker drop-offs in the weeks ahead.

What it means for DC

Supergirl is the second major theatrical release of the Gunn-Safran era at DC Studios, which has been trying to rebuild audience goodwill after years of uneven results. Superman's warm reception gave the new universe momentum; a more muted Supergirl launch doesn't undo that, but it's a reminder of how hard it is to establish a new superhero lead, even inside a known brand. Studio executives will look to overseas grosses and the film's hold next weekend before drawing conclusions.

For now, the early summer scorecard tilts decisively toward Disney, with Toy Story 5's staying power anchoring the season — and Hollywood, as ever, reading the weekend numbers like tea leaves.
