Family Box Office 2026: Questions & Answers
The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 26 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing family movie in 2026?
Toy Story 5 (2026) leads with $1.1B worldwide, $480.3M of it in the US & Canada. Next come The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) at $1B and Minions & Monsters (2026) at $528.9M. Films released in this period are still earning, so the order can change.
How much did family movies released in 2026 earn?
26 family films released in 2026 report a worldwide gross, $4.6B in all so far, or $178.2M per film on average.
How many family movies released in 2026 made $1 billion?
2 films crossed $1 billion worldwide: Toy Story 5 (2026) and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026). 10 crossed $100 million.
How is the 2026 family box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?
Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2026. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact.
How often is the 2026 family box office chart updated?
2026 is still running: new releases join the chart once they report a gross, and films in theaters climb as their weekly figures come in, so the ranking moves until the period is over.
