Toy Story 5 Battles Tablet, Wins Billion Dollars in Tech Fight

KEY POINTS

•Pixar released 'Toy Story 5' in the summer of 2026, grossing over $1 billion worldwide despite competition from tablets.
•Universal’s 'Jurassic World Dominion' crossed $1 billion after three months, aided by bringing classic cast and new actors together.
•'Michael', starring Jaafar Jackson as the King of Pop, became the highest-grossing biopic ever in 2026.

In 2026, Pixar proved it still knows how to squeeze dollar signs from plastic nostalgia with 'Toy Story 5,' grossing $1.02 billion worldwide. Woody, Buzz, and Jessie face their toughest rival yet - tablets - in a cinematic showdown for precious childhood attention spans. Meanwhile, Universal Studios quietly raked in just over $1 billion with the notoriously critically mauled 'Jurassic World Dominion,' mostly thanks to the charm of combining dinosaur OGs with the new kids. Throw in a 2026 Mario bros galaxy adventure surpassing $1 billion, a surprisingly bestselling Michael Jackson biopic starring his nephew, and Tim Burton’s Alice hitting the billion mark back in 2010 — and Hollywood's all about sloooowly breaking billion-dollar records like it's a programming hobby, not business.
