Toy Story 5's record-breaking box-office opening might be an indicator that we aren't done with the Toy Story universe anytime soon. The fifth film in the franchise was released on 19 June and sees Woody, Jessie, and the gang deal with a new threat: technology, in the form of Lilypad.
In the US, the film's opening brought in $160 million (£121 million), making it the second-biggest for Pixar behind 2018's The Incredibles 2 at $182.6 million (£137.7 million).
Worldwide, Toy Story 5 opened with $312 million (£235 million), again the second-biggest for Pixar - this time behind Inside Out 2's $384 million (£290 million).

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie still stands as the highest-grossing film of the year, taking in more than $1 billion worldwide. However, this is not uncharted territory for the Toy Story franchise, with the third and fourth instalments having previously reached that milestone at the box office.
Critical and audience reception to Toy Story 5 has also been looking good, with the film currently standing on Rotten Tomatoes at 94% and 95% respectively. Some reviews have been highly positive, with Metro writing: "Toy Story 5 is an impressively strong sequel, one of the best this far into a franchise."

Here at Digital Spy, we described Toy Story 5 as a "fresh start for the series", adding: "It might not be the same Toy Story you remember, but even toys have to move with the times."
If the opening weekend is anything to go by, then there's a possibility that a sixth Toy Story could be in the horizon, though star Tom Hanks has said it should be for a "worthwhile" idea.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor said: "If you're gonna do another Toy Story, it better be worthwhile. It better be great. You better be examining some theme that is not just dragging it out because people like the title.
"I mean, it is a huge corporate business without a doubt, I'm not gonna discount that. But unless it's good, new, fresh, there's no reason to do it at all."
