Disney made box office history in April with “Avengers: Endgame,” and the studio is going after another record this weekend. With critical acclaim behind it, Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” will take aim at the all-time animated film opening weekend record set last year by “Incredibles 2,” continuing a 2019 defined by Disney domination.
Since the review embargo dropped, critics have praised director Josh Cooley’s addition to Pixar’s flagship franchise, saying that while it doesn’t reach the poignant heights of the Best Picture-nominated “Toy Story 3,” it is a hilarious and worthy addition to the series. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 98% “Fresh” score, matching its predecessor’s critical performance.
