Toy Story 5 opens huge, Spielberg comes back to earth
Pixar's latest is tipped for a $160-170m bow, topping Inside Out 2 and landing the year's biggest opening. The A CinemaScore says it'll have legs all summer, eyeing $600m plus. Meanwhile Spielberg's Disclosure Day drops over 60% in weekend two. Not the hold anyone hoped for.

Sideshow
Faramir finally gets the figure he deserves
Asmus and Sideshow have a sixth-scale Faramir, the Gondor brother who spent two films wrestling with his dad's expectations. A closer look at the sculpt for collectors who already have Aragorn and Boromir on the shelf. One for Middle-earth completists.
