Nearly 10 years after the last “Toy Story” film, enthusiasm for the franchise clearly has not waned. “Toy Story 4”, Woody and Buzz Lightyear’s fourth big-screen adventure, is a non-mover atop the global box office. The animation grossed more than $138.5 million on its second week in theaters, taking cumulative grosses to over $496 million worldwide since its release in the United States on June 21.
After being released in China, “Spider-Man: Far From Home” debuts at number two in the global box-office ranking. The superhero, played by Tom Holland, returns to the big screen two years after “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, grossing some $111 million ahead of its U.S. release, July 2. “Spider-Man: Far From Home” ousts “Aladdin”, which had been in second place for four weeks. The remake of the Disney classic drops to fourth place this week, behind “Anabelle Comes Home”.
The latest horror movie in the “Conjuring” franchise enters the box-office ranking in third place following its U.S. release, June 26. “Annabelle Comes Home”, the sequel to 2014’s “Annabelle”, grossed some $65.3 million worldwide.
“Avengers: Endgame” climbs back up to the 10th place at the global box-office thanks to a new, enhanced version, in theaters since June 28, featuring a new “unfinished scene” deleted from the original release, as well as a video introduction from one of the directors, Anthony Russo. This extended version of the blockbuster helps add to the movie’s global grosses with an extra $7.8 million this week.
