oyToy Story 5, najgledaniji film 2026. u Meksiku; ulazi u povijesni top 10

Toy Story 5 has become the highest-grossing film of 2026 in Mexico, with 15.8 million tickets sold nationwide after one month in theaters. The animated adventure, produced by Disney Pixar, has surpassed “Super Mario Galaxy” by nearly half a million viewers, securing its position in the top 10 list of all-time most-watched films in the country. According to data released by the National Cinema Industry Chamber, which includes exhibitors, distributors, producers, and service providers, the film is currently ranked tenth, just behind “Lilo & Stitch” (live-action version), which holds the ninth spot with 17.3 million attendees. The latest weekend saw 677,000 tickets sold, bringing the total closer to the 17.3 million mark held by “Lilo & Stitch.” If this trend continues, the film could surpass the live-action adaptation in early August. However, analysts suggest it will likely remain in the tenth position, unable to climb further up the historical rankings. Despite this, “Toy Story 5” has already become the fifth most successful animated film in Mexican cinema history, according to industry records. The film’s success was somewhat unexpected given its initial performance during its opening week. It premiered on June 17, almost simultaneously with the start of the FIFA World Cup, which traditionally draws large audiences. Nevertheless, the film managed to maintain steady ticket sales and gradually gained momentum. Its popularity reflects the enduring appeal of the franchise, particularly among younger audiences who have grown up with the series. The creative team behind the film includes new faces in key roles. This marks the first time John Lasseter, co-founder of the franchise, is not involved in the scriptwriting process. Some fans expressed mild concern over this change, but the film's director and writer, Andrew Stanton, has been deeply connected to the project since its inception. Though this is his debut as a director, he has previously worked on earlier installments as a writer, making him well-versed in the story and characters. Other animated films in Mexico this year include “Minions & Monsters,” which opened later and has recorded a more modest turnout. After three weeks in theaters, the film has attracted 3.1 million viewers, though attendance has declined steadily. Last week alone, it registered 439,000 visitors, indicating a slower pace compared to the success of “Toy Story 5.” Meanwhile, other major franchises such as “Star Wars” and others have seen less traction at the box office. While these properties continue to draw attention globally, they have not matched the local enthusiasm for “Toy Story 5,” which has proven to be a cultural touchstone for many families. The film’s blend of nostalgia and innovation has resonated strongly with audiences, contributing to its sustained popularity. As the summer season progresses, the film is expected to maintain its current trajectory, though it may not challenge the top positions held by older classics like “Intensamente 2,” which remains the most watched film in Mexico with 25.3 million viewers. “Toy Story 4” follows closely with 24.8 million, while “Coco” and “Super Mario, the Movie” round out the top five with 24.1 million and 22.7 million respectively.
