Toy Story 5’s franchise-record $160 million domestic opening in June anchors its overwhelming 95.5% market-implied odds for third-biggest 2026 debut. The Pixar sequel benefited from pent-up brand loyalty after a seven-year gap, strong critical reception, and broad family appeal that delivered the year’s largest start to date, surpassing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s $131.7 million bow and prior Toy Story entries. With few remaining wide releases positioned to challenge the top tier before year-end, traders see limited realistic paths for an upset unless a major December title like Avengers: Doomsday posts an outsized debut that reshuffles the final ranking.
Rules
This market will resolve according to the title of the movie which grosses the third-most domestically on its opening weekend among all movies in 2026. The "Weekend Box Office Performance" table on the page for the relevant movie on https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/year/2026 will be used to resolve this market once the values for the 3-day opening weekend are final (i.e. not studio estimates). This market will resolve to "Yes" if the relevant movie grosses the third-most on its 3-day domestic opening weekend among all movies in 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The named movies will be primarily ranked by domestic opening weekend gross. If two or more movies are tied on domestic opening weekend gross, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the movies' listed titles. This market will resolve to the movie that occupies the third-highest finishing position after applying this ranking. Please note, this market will resolve according to the The Numbers figures provided under Weekend Box Office Performance for the 3-day weekend, regardless of whether domestic refers to only the USA, or to USA and Canada, etc. Resolution will be based specifically on the figures provided for this movie's 3-day opening weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), regardless of whether the movie has a 4 or 5-day opening weekend. If another movie's opening weekend box office performance surpasses the 3rd-place ranking after numbers for both are finalized, this market may immediately resolve to "No". If there is no final data available by January 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, another credible resolution source will be chosen.
