In a setback for Warner Bros.' revamped DC movie operations, Supergirl was no match for Toy Story 5 at the box office, opening a distant second to the Pixar blockbuster. After posting a near-record debut for an animated movie, Toy Story 5 remained No. 1 at the box office this weekend with $70 million in domestic ticket sales and another $89.1 million overseas, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Walt Disney Co. release has in two weeks amassed $585 million globally, making it one of the biggest hits of the year, the AP reports. Supergirl, on the other hand, failed to lift off. It opened with $38 million in US and Canadian theaters. It added $30 million in overseas markets.
Paramount Pictures' Jackass: Best and Last was the weekend's other new wide release. The latest stunt compilation from Johnny Knoxville and company opened with a modest $8.4 million from 2,855 North American theaters. While that's a good result for a movie that cost just $10 million to make, the 2022 installment, Jackass Forever, debuted with $23 million before ultimately grossing $80 million worldwide. Olivia Wilde's dinner party comedy The Invite notched one of the best per-screen averages of the year. Opening on seven screens in New York and Los Angeles, it debuted with $379,104, good for a per-screen average of $54,158. The micro-budget horror phenomenon Obsession took third place with $9.8 million in its seventh weekend of release.
