Pixar’s billion-dollar sequel was the No. 1 movie on Disney+ in its first week of streaming, beating the five-day start of Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch.
Woody and Buzz just had a very good week on the couch.
“Toy Story 5” pulled in 20 million views in its first five days on Disney+, TheWrap reported Monday, Sept. 28, citing Disney. It was the No. 1 movie on the service during its premiere week.
The Pixar sequel started streaming Wednesday, Sept. 23.
How many people watched Toy Story 5 on Disney+?
20 million views in five days. That puts it among the top 10 theatrical movie premieres in Disney+ history, per TheWrap.
It also beat a recent Disney hit. The live-action “Lilo & Stitch” drew 14.3 million views in its first five days on Disney+, per TheWrap.
How does Disney+ count views?
Disney counts a “view” as total hours watched divided by the movie’s runtime. So 20 million views doesn’t mean 20 million separate households. It’s more like 20 million full watches’ worth of streaming.
Netflix uses the same kind of math for its charts, which makes the numbers easier to compare across services.
Is Toy Story the most-watched franchise on Disney+?
Yes. “Toy Story” is the most-watched film franchise on Disney+, with more than 2 billion hours streamed around the world, per TheWrap.
“Toy Story 5” was pumping up that number before it ever hit the service. Since its first trailer came out, the new movie has driven 168 million hours of viewing to the older “Toy Story” films, per TheWrap. Plenty of families clearly did a rewatch before the new one.
How much did Toy Story 5 make at the box office?
More than $1 billion worldwide. It crossed that line this summer, per TheWrap.
That makes three “Toy Story” movies in the billion-dollar club, joining “Toy Story 3” (2010) and “Toy Story 4” (2019). All five “Toy Story” films together have earned more than $4 billion globally.
The movie opened in theaters June 19.
What is Toy Story 5 about?
Toys versus tech. Disney’s official logline reads:
“The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s ‘Toy Story 5,’ and this time it’s Toy meets Tech. Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and the rest of the gang’s jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad, a brand-new tablet device that arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what is best for their kid, Bonnie. Will playtime ever be the same?”
Any parent who has lost a kid to a screen for an afternoon probably felt that one.
Who is in the Toy Story 5 cast?
The voice cast includes:
Tom Hanks as Woody
Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear
Joan Cusack as Jessie
Greta Lee as Lilypad
Conan O’Brien, Scarlett Spears, Shelby Rabara, Mykal-Michelle Harris and Craig Robinson
Andrew Stanton, who co-wrote the original “Toy Story” and directed “Finding Nemo” and “WALL-E,” directed the film, with Kenna Harris as co-director.
