Toy Story 5 to Beat Supergirl, Jackass at Box Office

Key Points:

• "Supergirl" is projected to debut with $47 million to $50 million from 3,600 theaters, while "Jackass: Best and Last" aims for $10 million to $12 million from 2,800 venues; however, neither is expected to challenge "Toy Story 5," which is estimated to earn $80 million to $90 million in its second weekend.
• "Supergirl," a $170 million DC Universe film directed by Craig Gillespie, follows Kara Zor-El and her dog Krypto on a cosmic quest, but faces the challenge of appealing to audiences less familiar with the character compared to "Superman," which grossed $618 million globally.
• "Jackass: Best and Last," the final installment of the stunt comedy franchise, is likely to have the lowest opening in the series due to its compilation format, but with a modest $10 million production budget, it is positioned to be profitable despite a lower box office debut than the previous film.
• "Toy Story 5" continues the strong performance of animated sequels, having already grossed $176 million domestically and $328 million worldwide in just a few days, contributing to a robust summer box office season.
• Hollywood's summer box office is nearing pre-pandemic levels, with revenues just 1.8% shy of 2019 figures, driven by a mix of original hits and franchise sequels, and is expected to surpass the $4 billion mark for the four-month period, a milestone last achieved during the 2023 "Barbenheimer" phenomenon.
