Toy Story 4 is opening... fine, although yet another disappointment compared to expectations this summer. Perhaps people are spent up after Aladdin and Endgame and are waiting to spend their money on certain films like TLK and Spidey. Disney have definitely screwed themselves slightly with so many similar films in such a short frame this year, I reckon one or two should have moved to next year (which is barren in comparison for the mouse).

$45-48m friday incl. $12m previews means its gonna land around the same opening as TS3 way back in 2010 domestically (~$110m). Tracking was saying $140m+ with some thinking a new animated record was possible ($180m+). With some good OS openers like Argentina where it set a new OD record, but some underperformers compared to TS3 like UK, I wonder if this will hit $1b after all. Should be another fun one to follow.

Meanwhile Aladdin just keeps on flying and may well be heading to $1b after all. Legs are just phenomenal everywhere, Japan and South Korea in particular where its looking to make $100m and $75m respectively.
