Disney and Pixar's "Lightyear."Pixar's"Lightyear," an origin story about the astronaut who inspired the Buzz Lightyear action figure from the"Toy Story" movies, nabbed $51 million in ticket sales at 4,255 locations across the U.S. and Canada during its debut weekend, according to studio estimates — a respectable but lower-than-expected haul.
"Lightyear," Pixar's first major theatrical release since early 2020, pulled in $34.6 million from international markets for a worldwide opening weekend total of $85.6 million, according to estimates from Walt Disney Pictures, the corporate parent of Pixar Animation Studios. Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at Comscore, said some filmgoers may not have realized that"Lightyear" was a spinoff of the popular"Toy Story" saga, while others might have expected it to premiere on the streaming service Disney+ like the three previous Pixar movies,"Soul,""Luca" and"Turning Red."
