Up until last weekend, it was among the top 5 in the domestic rankings, but it will not be there anymore this time. However, it has a stronghold at the North American box office and might squeeze in at the last moment. According to the latest numbers on Box Office Mojo, the Pixar sequel has collected $473.8 million at the domestic box office in 57 days. It will hit $480 million at the domestic box office this weekend.

Can it beat The Lion King’s lifetime total in North America?

According to Box Office Mojo‘s data, The Lion King is the all-time #19 highest-grossing film at the North American box office. It is the remake of the 1994 Disney classic of the same name. Jon Favreau directed the 2019 animated remake and became a huge box-office success domestically and worldwide. The Lion King collected $543.6 million in its lifetime at the North American box office.

Toy Story 5 is still almost $70 million short of surpassing The Lion King’s domestic haul and breaking into the all-time top 20 domestically.
