This weekend’s box office results delivered one of the most chaotic late June slates in recent memory, with fifteen films jostling for position across multiplexes nationwide. Toy Story 5 held off Supergirl’s box office debut as Pixar’s fifth installment ruled again with a second-weekend haul that kept it firmly in command of the marketplace. The overall domestic box office is officially at the halfway mark of 2026, sitting around $4.55 billion for the first half of the year.

From an animated juggernaut to a struggling superhero tentpole, a YouTube-born horror hit, and a quiet Australian queer thriller, this week’s box office results numbers tell a story about who Hollywood’s audiences are actually showing up for. Below is the full countdown from fifteenth place to the top spot, with the financial performance and basic context for every title that made the chart.

‘The Sheep Detectives’ (2026)

With Supergirl already being framed as a costly setback for the DC Universe and Toy Story 5 closing in on franchise records, which of this weekend’s fifteen contenders do you think will look different in the history books a year from now?
