That’s an incredible achievement, giving Toy Story 4 the second best preview night performance for any animated movie.
Toy Story 4 opened in theaters on Thursday night for early evening fan events, followed by preview screenings, taking in $12 million all told.
The distinction of first place goes to last year’s Incredibles 2, which took in a heroic $18.5 million in previews in advance of a $182.6 million opening weekend, the best all-time for an animated flick, as noted by Deadline.
