ENTERTAINMENT
Cinemark Achieves All-Time Best Domestic Opening Weekend for a Family Film with Toy Story 5.
Cinemark Holdings, Inc., one of the world’s largest and most influential theatrical exhibition companies, has announced a historic milestone: the biggest three‑day domestic opening weekend ever for a G‑ or PG‑rated film with the release of Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5. The achievement also delivered Cinemark’s highest‑ever domestic June weekend box office and its top‑performing weekend of 2026, underscoring the enduring power of family films and the theatrical experience.
The record‑setting weekend was driven by strong carryover from recent releases such as Disclosure Day and Obsession, combined with massive audience turnout for the latest installment in Pixar’s beloved franchise. Cinemark auditoriums across the country were filled with moviegoers of all ages as Toy Story 5 “soared to infinity and beyond,” according to Cinemark President and CEO Sean Gamble, who praised both the film’s creative team and Cinemark employees for delivering an exceptional opening weekend.
A Landmark Weekend for Cinemark
Beyond box office performance, the weekend also set new highs for food and beverage sales, with Cinemark reporting its highest June weekend domestic food and beverage per‑capita revenue in company history. Elevated menu offerings, including expanded selections and fan‑favorite classics, paired with strong demand for Toy Story 5‑themed merchandise contributed to the record‑breaking results.
The success highlights the growing importance of premium in‑theater experiences. Cinemark continues to invest in amenities such as Luxury Lounger recliners, enhanced concessions, and premium formats like Cinemark XD, all of which help create a more immersive and memorable outing for guests.
A Strong Summer Lineup Ahead
The momentum is expected to continue as Cinemark prepares for a packed summer slate. Upcoming releases include:
Supergirl (June 26)
Minions & Monsters (July 1)
Moana (July 10)
The Odyssey (July 17)
Spider‑Man: Brand New Day (July 31)
Later in the year, audiences can look forward to major titles such as Practical Magic 2, Resident Evil, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Dune: Part Three, Avengers: Doomsday, and Jumanji: Open World.
This steady cadence of high‑profile releases positions Cinemark for continued success as families and fans return to theaters for shared, larger‑than‑life storytelling.
A Milestone That Reinforces the Power of Theatrical Storytelling
Gamble emphasized that the record‑breaking weekend demonstrates the unique ability of movie theaters to bring people together for unforgettable experiences. The performance of Toy Story 5 not only reflects the strength of the franchise but also the resilience and relevance of theatrical exhibition in today’s entertainment landscape.
With strong audience enthusiasm, elevated in‑theater offerings, and a robust slate of upcoming films, Cinemark is poised for a standout year, one that reaffirms the magic of seeing stories unfold on the big screen.
