Explained simply
Spider-Man is a Marvel superhero who first appeared in comics and has since featured in films, television and video games. The character is part of a long-running franchise, with different films following his adventures and attracting audiences around the world.
Box office figures track ticket sales, usually separating a film’s earnings in the United States and Canada from those in other countries. Worldwide totals combine these markets, and comparisons with other releases show how a film is performing commercially; they do not measure its cost or profit.
Toy Story is a separate animated film franchise made by Pixar, which is owned by Disney. Comparing the two series’ cinema earnings offers a snapshot of the year’s biggest releases and the scale of the audiences they have reached.
