BOX OFFICE REPORT: Why Did LIGHTYEAR BOMB!? - Jurassic World Dominion #1 and TOP GUN MAVERICK Top 3
Lightyear, Pixar’s first full-throated global theatrical release since Onward in March of 2020, opened with a mediocre $50 million over its Fri-Sun frame and around $55 million over the Juneteenth holiday weekend. That would be a slight miss even for a straight-up Pixar original, let alone a film that was sold as essentially Toy Story 4.5 or Toy Story 0.5. It’s a stand-alone, disconnected original story prequel for the Buzz Lightyear character, presented as “the movie Andy watched in 1995 that made him a fan of Buzz Lightyear.”
