Toy Story 5 took fifth place on Friday with $1.15 million as it entered its eighth weekend, Variety reported Saturday. [1] Rivals projected $4.1 million by Sunday, which would push the domestic haul to about $470.5 million.

Spider-Man overtook it as 2026's worldwide leader on Wednesday, $1.155 billion against $1.067 billion. [1] That crossing is already in the trades. Saturday's news is the eighth-weekend chair, not a new coronation.

Screen compression is the test. A Pixar sequel still sitting in the top five in week eight is a legs story the Spidey file will not pause to tell. The Saturday-safe numbers are $1.15 million Friday and a $4.1 million projection. Sunday actuals are not Saturday facts.

The same Saturday note put Spider-Man at $43 million Friday and a projected $143 million weekend, about a 60 percent drop from a $360 million debut. [1] Pixar's $1.15 million did not need that sentence to be true. It needed the eighth-weekend chair. A $470.5 million domestic projection is legs under compression, not nostalgia. Sunday will print actuals. Saturday printed the seat.

Eighth weekend, fifth place, $1.15 million Friday. That is the chair. [1]

Sunday actuals belong to Sunday. Saturday belongs to the estimate. [1]
