Toy Story 3 crushed Adam Sandler and Tom Cruise at U.S. Box Office
The animated heroes of “Toy Story 3″ crushed the premieres of Adam Sandler and Tom Cruise, leading the North American box office for the second straight week, according to studio estimates released Sunday.
“Toy Story 3″ from Walt Disney and Pixar Animation, sold nearly 59 million worth of tickets in the United States and Canada during the weekend of three days beginning Friday.
Total tickets sold in 10 days reach 226.6 million dollars, making it the fourth highest grossing film of the year behind “Alice in Wonderland”, “Iron Man 2″ and “Shrek Forever After,” which earned only 3 million dollars more.
The comedy starring Sandler, “Grown Ups,” was second with 41 million dollars, the fourth best on his production career. In the widely criticized movie produced by Columbia Pictures, a unit of Sony Corp, also act Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade.
The action comedy starring Tom Cruise, “Knight and Day,” was on the third place with $ 20.5 million and is far from his last great films (“Mission Impossible IV” in 2006 with 48 million, and “War of the Worlds” in 2005 with $ 65 million).
The movie “Knight and Day” has cost $ 107 million in which also acts Cameron Diaz and was released on Wednesday by 20th Century Fox by News Corp, scoring a total of five days of $ 27.8 million.

long before the couch, the ‘glib’, the brooke shields, the scientology tape leak, cruise was losing his box office appeal; as his films in general were costing more, but bringing in less at the box office. cruise has had an amazing career. he was a top ten box office draw for 20 years! out of those 20 years he was number one 7 times which is more than any other star ever. for some reason the media (again in general) has decided that now is the time for his comeback and that This is the film to propel that comeback, but the public is in rejection of that notion. the media seems bent on shoving cruise down everyone’s throat and the public (in general) is merely regurgitating hollywood’s hard sell. cruise will continue to be a star. he will continue to have a career, but the truth is he just isn’t the star he once was. 20 years with 7 at number one that is an incredible run. just how big is the hole in cruise’s ego that he must continue to win or at least attempt to win the attention of the public? how much reaffirmation and ego stroking does he need? when will hollywood realize that their plastic, manufactured star/golden boy has run his course? diaz and cruise previously worked together on vanilla sky. i wonder why no one mentions that while promoting This film?
