Toy Story 3 Sets Pixar Record

Toy Story 3 has an estimated Weekend box office total of $109 million and that means it's a new opening weekend record for Pixar films. The previous holder was 2004's The Incredibles with $70.5 million. Also, only the third animated film to open over $100 million behind Shrek the Third with $121.6 million and Shrek 2 with $108 million. 

This shows you that "threequels" are not bad at all if they are thought out and made with heart. Also, everybody still loves Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang. 

In other news Comic-book film Jonah Hex tanks at box office with just a measly $5 million. That pretty funny considering director Jimmy Hayward used to be an animator on Pixar films including Toy Story 2. At least he had a hit with Horton Hears a Who! back in 2008 with about $300 million. Maybe he should just stick to animated family films.

Trailer of the Week - Jonah Hex

It's a little late, but better late than never. The Trailer of the Week goes to the anticipated DC Comics adaptation Jonah Hex. This western/supernatural film is directed by Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears A Who!) and starring Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men), Megan Fox (Transformers), John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich) and Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds).

Jonah Hex (Brolin) is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone... and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His only human connection is with Leila (Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead.

Here is trailer
