As expected the guys over at Pixar continued to dominate the competition in theaters across the nation this weekend, with Toy Story 3 ruling its second consecutive frame over incoming Adam Sandler’s Grown Ups and Tom Cruise’s Knight & Day. While the former did put up a fight with Sandler’s vehicle taking in $41.0 million in its debut, it couldn’t come close to the Pixar release. The top two films of any report taking in $100 million combined sounds like a decent one-two punch, but the rest of the top 10 only pulled in another $54 altogether. This means the race had a 19% drop over the same frame last year.
The third Toy Story stood atop both the domestic and international races for this report with it taking in another $59.0 million in the states and $36.1 million in 32 foreign markets. Dropping only 46%, the latest numbers has it nearly surpassing in two weeks what DreamWorks’ Shrek Forever After has had six weeks to accumulate, with the domestic gross sitting at $226.5 million. With the feature’s foreign take sitting at $79.5 million, Pixar has global cume of $306.0 million after 10 days of release. This impressive launch has it already in third place in the global summer list below and guarantees that it will be in the second spot sometime this week.
Sony's ensemble comedy Grown Ups found itself premiering in 2nd place over the weekend. Featuring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and other notable comedian attractions, the film laughed up an impressive $41.0 million in its first three days of release.
20th Century Fox’s Knight and Day also premiered over the weekend, landing in 3rd place with $20.5 million. The film really opened on Wednesday and shot up a tally of $27.8 million over the five day premiere. Launching into 12 oversea markets on 2,238 screens the Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz effort grabbed another $12.6 million in foreign sales to make for a worldwide bow of $40.3 million.
Continuing to rack in the profits for Sony is The Karate Kid, which found it kicking up another $15.4 million for the 4th place spot. With its third weekend in the books the Jaden Smith-led remake has a domestic gross of $135.6 million. Very decent numbers since the budget was only $40 million. Foreign numbers included, the release has accumulated $150 million worldwide.
And taking down the 5th place spot is Fox’s adaptation of The A-Team. The action film shot up another $6.0 million in its third weekend of release, increasing its domestic total to $62.8 million. With the film grabbing another $38.7 million overseas, the latest weekend numbers has pushed its worldwide cume to $101.5 million. The budget is set at $110 million.

It should be noted that Robin Hood and Prince of Persia are poised to hit the notable $300 million mark worldwide though we’re sure the studios were hoping for much more.

The stat box says that Toy Story 3 had a budget of $200 million. Is that right? That just sounds crazy for a 90 minute cartoon, I don't care how good it is.
