Toy Story 3 Highest Grossing Animated Movie of All Time

It's Official!! Disney•Pixar's amazing Toy Story 3 has just crossed the $920 million globally, which means it has became the Highest Grossing Animated Film of All Time. It is absolutely amazing that a second sequel to a movie can become something this prestigious.

Toy Story 3 is on track to become Disney's 2nd film to pass $400 million domestically and become the 9th highest grossing film in United States by the end of Summer. Also, it is Disney's 4th highest grossing film globally.

Disney chairman Rich Ross released a statement on Friday about the great news and said:

 “In 1995, the talented team at Pixar introduced a cowboy, a space ranger and their friends who have gone on to become some of the most beloved characters in the world. The success of Toy Story is due to the tremendously creative and innovative team at Pixar, led by John Lasseter and Ed Catmull, and our incredible marketing and distribution teams around the world. In Toy Story 3, director Lee Unkrich, producer Darla Anderson and the incredible team at Pixar have given audiences a film that continued the rich storytelling and character building that have become synonymous with every Pixar release.”

Toy Story 3 is set to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on November 2, 2010.

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.

Avatar Sinks Titanic

James Cameron's Avatar has officially passed Cameron's last film Titanic to become the Highest Grossing Film of All-Time. That is a major record-breaker because the record has been standing for over 12 years.
 James Cameron must feel a sense of accomplishment because he has two of the Highest Grossing Films of All-Time with one still earning more. The Titanic had a total box-office of $1,843,201,268 and Avatar has passed that with $1,858,866,889. Avatar is history in the making for movies and technology.
 Avatar still has many weeks left in theaters to gross more. The only other major record it has to break is Highest Grossing Film Domestically because Titanic still hold that record (for now) with $600,788,188 and Avatar after just 39 days has passed $554,981,691. I will say it, Avatar will beat that record and then some.

 I cant wait to see what it will do when released on Home Video.

Avatar Passes The Dark Knight

According to early reports, James Cameron's Avatar has passed Christopher Nolan's 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight as the second highest grossing movie domestically. The Dark Knight had a total earning of $533 million in theaters and Avatar as just passed $553 million and still going. Also, Avatar's $36 million in its 6th weekend also set a record for a film's gross in it's 6th week of release. Avatar seems unstoppable, for now. Next up for major record breaking is beating James Cameron's last film Titanic. Titanic has had the record of highest grossing film of all-time for over 10 years and it seems reasonable that the director's other film should beat it. Look for Avatar to beat Titanic's $600.8 million sometime next month. Hollywood must really want to get their hands on James Cameron for future use. Cameron is king of the world (pun intended) of box office success.

I will update weekend box office later or tomorrow with international box office to see if cameron has passed Titanic as the highest grossing film globally (which it has most likely done)
