The U.S. box office had a friend in the new Toy Story<\/em> film.
As per Variety,<\/em><\/a> Toy Story 5<\/em><\/a> <\/em>debuted with $160 million, which makes it the biggest domestic opening of the year. The previous record was $131.7 million, set by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/em>. It was also the biggest debut for any of the Toy Story<\/em> films — previously, Toy Story 4<\/em> held the record with $120 million.
Toy Story 5<\/em> — which boasts a new end-credits song by Taylor Swift — scored the second-biggest opening weekend in history for an animated film. Only The Incredibles 2,<\/em> which debuted with just under $183 million in 2018, earned more.
According to Box Office Mojo,<\/a> last week’s #1, the new Steven Spielberg alien extravaganza Disclosure Day,<\/em> slipped to #2 with earnings of $17 million — a drop-off of more than 60% from its debut. 
The horror film Obsession<\/em> fell from #2 to #3. The only other new entries in the top 10 were the supernatural horror film Leviticus<\/em>, at #8, and Hugh Jackman’s A24 drama The Death of Robin Hood,<\/em> in ninth place.
