Could "Toy Story 5" Reignite Disney?
The famed sheriff and his space ranger sidekick are back again with the weight of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) on their animated shoulders. Toy Story 5 opens in theaters on Friday, June 19, and it won't be just another Pixar movie for the entertainment conglomerate. This time around, the 31-year-old franchise will see if it can move the needle for a company in need of a win.
The early signs look good. The film should gross more than $200 million in its opening weekend. Yet, it's not just the movie depicting toys versus tech that could propel Disney. The Toy Story franchise is a serious business across Disney's entire business model. The film will provide momentum for Disney's licensing and merchandise, as well as a renewed reason to visit the theme parks. All told, a successful release would translate into billions in revenue for Disney.
