Box Office Showdown: Supergirl Takes on Toy Story 5 and Jackass: Best and Last
Pixar's latest movie is set to challenge DC's Supergirl at the box office. Early tracking indicates that Supergirl may face tough competition upon its release this week. Projections suggest that Supergirl could open with $45-$50 million domestically and potentially less than $40 million internationally, resulting in a worldwide opening expectation of $80-$90 million.
In contrast, Toy Story 5, which premiered a week earlier, continues to perform strongly at the box office. The Pixar sequel opened with $159.6 million domestically, making it the biggest US opening of 2026. By Tuesday, it had already surpassed $200 million in North America, with daily earnings of $17.3 million on Monday and $23.7 million on Tuesday. Worldwide, Toy Story 5 has grossed over $352 million and is projected to earn an additional $88-$96 million in its second week.
Paramount's Jackass: Best and Last is also making its debut in theaters this week, with an expected North American box office revenue of around $10 million and approximately $3 million overseas.
Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie, is based on the comic book mini-series "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. The film, with a reported budget of $170 million, is produced by James Gunn and Peter Safran and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The cast includes Milly Alcock as Supergirl, Jason Momoa as Lobo, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, and David Corenswet as Superman.
In conclusion, the box office battle between Supergirl, Toy Story 5, and Jackass: Best and Last is heating up, with each film vying for audience attention and box office success. Pixar's animated hit continues to lead the pack, while Supergirl aims to make its mark in the superhero genre.
