Toy Story 3 held on to first place in a unique battle of sentimental family flicks, holding off Grown Ups. In its second weekend, Pixar‘s trilogy entry brought in $59 million, justifying its $226.5 million domestic gross so far. The toys now hold the 7th-largest 10-day opening in box office history.
Adam Sandler continues to prove his comedic worth, no matter how low brow the comedy, as Grown Ups had an impressive opening weekend, earning $41 million in the runner-up position. It over-shot the other wide debut, the star-driven action comedy Knight & Day, which earned $20.5 million. Another sign that Hollywood movie stardom is losing its financial luster?
The Karate Kid continues to outperform The A-Team in the 4th and 5th spots, respectively. The former earned another $15 million, bringing its total to $135 million, while Hannibal and the boys are fizzling out quickly, with a small $6 million in its third weekend. It has now earned only $62.8 million, meaning that the plan didn’t quite…come together.
