FRIDAY PM: Disney/Pixar Studios’ Toy Story 5 is holding onto No. 1, as we knew it would, but pre-weekend estimates were a bit high. The second weekend now is looking more like $74M at 4,425 sites, which would get the Andrew Stanton-directed animated mover over the $300M domestic in 10 days. And that’s nothing to whine about.
The pic’s second Friday is looking like $22M. At $74M, that’s a -54% second-weekend hold, which is close to the -56% second weekend hold of Incredibles 2 ($80.3M), which was coming off the record domestic opening for an animated movie ($182.6M).

Warner Bros/DC Studios Supergirl right now is coming in at the low end with $40M at 3,602 after having her superpowers depleted by critics at 57% on Rotten Tomatoes. Friday is looking like $18M, which includes the $7.8M domestic previews. No update on international. Earlier today, Warners reported $5.2M so far.
Third place currently is looking like Paramount’s Jackass: Best and Last at 2,855 theaters with $3.6M-$4.3M today (including last night’s $1.2M previews) and 3-day between $8M-$10M. The big-screen version of the MTV reality show is great with critics at 88% fresh and moviegoers as well at 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Focus Features’ seventh weekend of Obsession at 2,965 sites is looking at $8.5M, -37%, for a running cume of $232.6M. Today is $2.7M for Curry Barker’s toxic-romance pic.
Fifth belongs to the third weekend of Universal/Amblin’s Steven Spielberg movie Disclosure Day, with $7M, -60%, at 3,357 sites. Running cume by Sunday is $93.2M.
PREVIOUSLY, FRIDAY AM: ‘Supergirl’ Takes Off With $13M First Day At Global Box Office
DC Studios’ second production under the James Gunn-Peter Safran administration, Supergirl, made $13M in its first day at the global box office, a number not far from the first day of Universal/Amblin’s $115M Steven Spielberg movie Disclosure Day, which did $12M two weeks ago.
Broken down, domestic previews were $7.8M, that’s combined from Wednesday fan events and Thursday showtimes that began at 3 p.m. That’s a number above Disney/Marvel Studios’ The Marvels previews of $6.6M ($46.1M U.S./Canada opening in 2023); above DC’s Black Adam, which made $7.6M and opened to $67M in 2022); and under what DC’s The Flash, which did at $9.7M ($55M opening in 2023).
Supergirl overperformed in 11 U.S. markets so far: Los Angeles was 22% above normal levels, New York was +24%, Dallas was +13%, Chicago +17%, San Francisco +14%, D.C. +22%, Philly +14%, Atlanta +11%, and Orlando +30%.
Supergirl‘s initial wave of foreign markets grossed $5.2M. The hope is that the pic clears $80M+ in its global launch at 46,000 screens in 77 foreign markets. China and Japan are part of the offshore suite opening Friday, with France and Belgium bowing next weekend. Domestic opening forecasts have cooled from $50M+ to the upper-$40M+ range start for the feature production, which I’m told cost $170M but others tell me was net $186M. As we told you, Supergirl has more than $100M in media value from its global promotional partner campaign, DC Studios’ biggest ever. Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 5 is expected to lead the weekend in its second frame with around $90M.
Rotten Tomatoes audience score stands at 77%, which is higher than The Flash (63%), Shazam: Fury of the Gods (49%) and Joker: Folie à Deux (31%) and not far from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (79%).
‘Jackass: Best and Last’
Paramount.
Meanwhile, Paramount’s Jackass: Best and Last grossed $1.2M from Thursday previews across from more than 2,450 locations. The pic’s domestic outlook is $10M this weekend for the net $10M production. The MTV IP also is going in 19 markets including Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom. Six markets will release later, including Australia on July 2.

In another good beat at the summer box office, Paramount Pictures and Miramax’s Scary Movie crossed $100 million at the domestic box office Thursday, becoming the first R-rated comedy to reach the milestone since Girls Trip in 2017 (meaning not R-rated action comedy like the past two Bad Boys sequels, and not R-rated superhero comedy like Deadpool & Wolverine). The film also crossed $100 million at the international box office last weekend, bringing its worldwide total to more than $200 million. Broken down, the cume is $208.5M WW, comprising $100.5M stateside and $108M abroad. The Scary Movie franchise now counts $1 billion at the box office.
