Which Toy Story film has the highest worldwide box office (nominal)?

Toy Story 4 has the highest worldwide box office of the Toy Story films in nominal dollars.

Released in 2019, the fourth feature earned about $1.074 billion worldwide. It narrowly passed Toy Story 3, which earned roughly $1.067 billion, making the margin surprisingly small despite the films being released nearly a decade apart. “Nominal” means these totals are not adjusted for inflation, so the comparison uses the dollar amounts reported at the time.

Toy Story 4 followed Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the other toys as they encountered Forky, a toy created from discarded craft materials. Josh Cooley directed the film, while Tom Hanks and Tim Allen returned as the voices of Woody and Buzz. The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

A common mix-up is confusing worldwide gross with domestic gross or inflation-adjusted attendance. Toy Story 4 leads on unadjusted global revenue, while different rankings can change when ticket prices, re-releases, or inflation are considered.
