How much came from Toy Story 5's Thursday previews?

Toy Story 5 earned $17.5 million from Thursday previews.

Those preview screenings took place before the film's formal Friday opening and were counted as part of its reported first-day domestic gross. The haul was the biggest preview total for any Toy Story movie and one of the strongest preview performances ever recorded for an animated film.

Preview revenue is easy to mistake for a separate opening-day result. Studios typically include late-night Thursday sales in the Friday total, so the $17.5 million helped form Toy Story 5's reported $71 million first-day gross. In comparison, Incredibles 2 had earned about $18.5 million in previews.
