Likely a blockbuster at the box office, will Toy Story 5's Popcornmeter rating be 90+ on Fri?
79% of users predicted YES — the community got this one right. 33 predictions cast.
Toy Story 5 opened in theaters on June 19, 2026, and its Popcornmeter audience score on Rotten Tomatoes came in at 90 percent or above as of Friday. Multiple outlets reported the figure at approximately 92 to 93 percent, consistent with the film's critical reception, where the Tomatometer stood near 92 to 94 percent at opening weekend.
The film, Pixar's first new Toy Story installment in several years, follows Woody and Buzz in a story set largely in a retirement home. Critics praised the film's emotional resonance and animation quality, while audience reviewers highlighted the nostalgia factor and the return to the franchise's original narrative thread rather than a pivot to a new protagonist. The audience response tracked closely with the critical consensus.
Despite the strong scores on both the Tomatometer and Popcornmeter, Toy Story 5 holds the lowest critic rating of any mainline Toy Story film — a reflection of the benchmark set by its predecessors, which drew near-universal praise, rather than a meaningful criticism of this installment. Pixar had produced several original films and sequels in the intervening years with mixed commercial results, making the return to its signature franchise a closely watched test for the studio.
The Predict Six community correctly anticipated the strong audience reception: 79 percent voted yes on the 90-plus Popcornmeter threshold, and the film met that bar at opening.
