Toy Story 3' Breaks Records At The Weekend Box Office With $109 Million - [UNBELIEVABLE THIS IS MOVIE'S YEAR] JUNE 2010

Toy Story 3, the final entry to a beloved series, gathered a massive $109 million over Fathers Day weekend, extending Pixars streak to an unbelievable 11 first place debuts in a row.

If the estimated figure holds, the 3D sequel will hold the highest June opening of all time (over Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) and easily the largest opening for the animation studio in its fifteen year history.

The return of Woody and Buzz brought in $41 million on Friday, the biggest first day for an animated film, besting Shrek the Thirds previous record. Though it fell short of Shrek 3s $121 million start in 2007 for second place among animated weekends. TS3 is also the biggest animated debut on IMAX, taking $8.4 million on the specialty format alone.

Not surprisingly, Toy Story 3 impressed critics, who collectively turned in 155 positive reviews to Rotten Tomatoes for a nearly perfect 99% score. Contrarian critic Armond White turned in one of only two negative reviews on the site.

Jonah HexThe only other wide opener was Warner Bros supernatural western, Jonah Hex, which made only $5.1 million in an embar****ing eighth place. Thats a huge bomb for the reported $80 million comic movie starring Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, and John Malkovich. The only DC Comics adaptation to perform worse was 1997s Steel starring Shaquille ONeal.

Karate Kid dropped 48% from its surprising win last Friday through Sunday, but not before crossing the $100 million mark. The $40M film has brought in $106.3M domestic, earning the inevitable sequel. Meanwhile, The A-Team continued to struggle in third.

The Duplass brothers awkward, yet very funny comedy Cyrus pulled an impressive average of $45,075 for each of its 4 locations in Los Angeles and New York. The Fox Searchlight film expands next weekend. Source: NewsInFilm.com
