The North American box office saw a clear winner and a notable disappointment this weekend. Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 comfortably held onto the top spot in its second frame, while Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ Supergirl opened significantly below expectations despite being one of the summer’s biggest tentpole releases. Elsewhere, horror hit Obsession continued its remarkable theatrical run, Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day maintained a steady hold, and Jackass: Best and Last posted the franchise’s weakest opening.
Toy Story 5 Remains the Box Office Champion
After delivering the biggest domestic opening of 2026 last weekend, Toy Story 5 continued its impressive run with $70 million in its second weekend, representing a healthy 56% decline from its $160 million debut. The animated sequel has now grossed $297.2 million domestically and $585 million worldwide after just 12 days in theaters.
The second-weekend hold closely mirrors Incredibles 2, which also dropped 56% after its record-breaking debut. With nearly $300 million already earned in North America, Toy Story 5 is firmly on course to become one of Pixar’s highest-grossing releases and one of 2026’s biggest global box office successes. Premium formats also continued contributing strongly, with IMAX alone adding another $900,000 globally to push its cumulative IMAX earnings to $24 million.
Supergirl’s Soft Debut Raises Questions
The weekend’s biggest story, however, belonged to Supergirl. The DC Studios film debuted with $38 million domestically and $68 million worldwide, well below industry expectations of a $50–55 million opening. While the film avoided becoming the lowest-opening DC release, its launch is considered underwhelming for a reported $170 million production budget, with some reports placing the net cost closer to $186 million before global marketing expenses.
The disappointing opening comes after mixed reviews and a lukewarm audience response. Supergirl currently holds a 56% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and received a B− CinemaScore, suggesting that audience word of mouth may not provide the long theatrical legs the film needs. Initial audiences were reported to be 59% male, indicating the film struggled to expand beyond its core superhero fanbase.
One encouraging sign for Warner Bros. came from premium-format screens. Nearly 51% of the film’s domestic opening weekend came from IMAX and other premium large-format auditoriums, generating $10.9 million globally in IMAX receipts. The film reportedly recorded one of IMAX’s highest market shares ever for a superhero release, highlighting continued demand for premium theatrical experiences even as overall attendance fell short.
The performance also raises fresh questions for DC Studios. Following last year’s successful Superman, Supergirl represents the second theatrical release under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s revamped DC Universe. Whether the film can recover will largely depend on international markets and audience word of mouth over the coming weeks, particularly with Illumination’s Minions & Monsters set to arrive during the lucrative July 4 holiday corridor.
Holdovers Continue Their Strong Runs
Outside the weekend’s two major newcomers, holdovers continued to perform well. Focus Features’ horror sensation Obsession remained one of the summer’s biggest success stories, adding $9.8 million in its seventh weekend—a modest 27% decline from the previous frame. The sleeper hit has now earned $233.9 million domestically and $370 million worldwide, delivering one of the year’s strongest returns on investment.
Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi adventure Disclosure Day also posted a respectable third weekend with $8.1 million, lifting its domestic total to $94.3 million and worldwide earnings to $193 million. While the film still has ground to cover before reaching profitability, it continues to demonstrate steady audience interest.
Jackass Opens Below Franchise Standards
Paramount’s Jackass: Best and Last debuted with $8.4 million, marking the lowest opening weekend in the franchise’s history. However, with a reported production budget of just $10 million, the comedy is still positioned to generate a theatrical profit if it performs steadily in the weeks ahead.
In the specialty market, A24’s The Invite impressed with $379,000 from just seven theaters, translating into an excellent $54,158 per-theater average ahead of its nationwide expansion.
Weekend Takeaways
Despite Supergirl’s disappointing launch, the overall theatrical market remains healthy. Domestic box office revenue for 2026 has reached approximately $4.7 billion, running 15% ahead of last year and only about 9% behind 2019, the last pre-pandemic benchmark. Summer revenues have already crossed $2.1 billion, reflecting continued audience enthusiasm for theatrical releases.
The coming weekend will present another major test for the marketplace as Illumination’s Minions & Monsters is expected to headline the July 4 holiday frame. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. will be hoping Supergirl can stabilize through international markets and stronger-than-expected weekday holds, while Pixar’s Toy Story 5 looks poised to continue its march toward becoming one of the year’s biggest box office hits.
