Hello! Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of June 19-21, 2026.

## 1\. Toy Story 5

*Weekend gross: *$160M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$160M** 
*Last weekend: *New release** 
*Percent drop: *NA**

We’re still waiting for the first $200 million opening weekend of 2026 (I’m guessing that’ll be [*Spider-Man: Brand New Day* later this summer](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology-newsletter-spiderman-brand-new-day-trailer/)), but *Toy Story 5* easily scored the biggest debut of the year this weekend. The fifth *Toy Story* movie’s $160 million easily blew away *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie*’s $131.7 million from April.

*Toy Story 5*’s $160 million is the second biggest opening weekend in Pixar history, trailing only *Incredibles 2*’s $182.7 million first weekend back in 2018.

This performance continues the trend of Pixar operating on two very different box office tracks. The studio’s sequels have been massive hits, with all of its $100M+ opening weekends coming solely from sequels. An original Pixar story hasn’t debuted higher than the $50 million range since 2015’s *Inside Out* opened with $90.4 million.

## 2\. Disclosure Day

*Weekend gross: *$17M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$78.3M** 
*Last weekend: *1st** 
*Percent drop: *62**

The vibes around *Disclosure Day* going into the movie’s second weekend definitely felt like this film was going to drop off. While the early social media reactions were expectedly enthusiastic — that’s how it works when you want to make sure you’re invited back for future set visits and chats with the stars of a movie — I began to see honest and disappointed posts about *Disclosure Day*.

A 62 percent weekend-to-weekend drop for the **Steven Spielberg** film makes sense.

## 3\. Obsession

*Weekend gross: *$14.2M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$215.8M** 
*Last weekend: *2nd** 
*Percent drop: *25**

*Obsession* had already slipped past the $200 million mark in North America before even going into the weekend, and with just a 25 percent drop, the **Curry Barker** film continued its absurd box office performance.

## 4\. Backrooms

*Weekend gross: *$7.3M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$175.2M** 
*Last weekend: *4th** 
*Percent drop: *37**

I think *Backrooms* will also join *Obsession* in the $200 million club? Maybe. This horror film definitely slowed down after its ridiculous $81.4 million debut. With a $7.3 million fourth weekend, does *Backrooms* have the momentum to add another $25 million to its domestic haul?

## 5\. Scary Movie

*Weekend gross: *$6.7M** 
*Total domestic gross: *$97.6M** 
*Last weekend: *3rd** 
*Percent drop: *53**

The confusingly titled *Scary Movie* keeps climbing the franchise’s box office ranks. At $97.6 million, the sixth film in the series should soon join the original *Scary Movie* ($157 million) and *Scary Movie 3* ($110 million) in the $100 million club. *Scary Movie* also joins *Scary Movie* as the only other *Scary Movie* movie to cross $200 million at the global box office. (I promise that sentence makes sense.)

*Box office numbers via The Numbers and Box Office Mojo based on Sunday estimates.*
