Toy Story 5 Breaks Opening-Weekend Records, Boosting Disney's New CEO

Summary
Toy Story 5 delivered a record-breaking opening weekend, giving new Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro an early win as he settles into the top job.
The film's strong debut was driven by a return to the original franchise's appeal, contrasting with recent Marvel and Star Wars releases that underperformed.
D'Amaro still faces broader pressure across Disney, with theme park attendance down, overall cinema sales below pre-pandemic levels and Disney+ yet to turn a profit.
That leaves the hit as an important but limited test of whether Disney can restore momentum across its film, parks and streaming businesses.
