'Toy Story 3' Sets Toon Opening Day Record

Wow... We like our Toy Story. This is a timeless tale and leave it to Pixar to make another story driven winner. Read more about the details of Friday's gross of $41 Million. Of interest is this stat-

Toy Story 3 played on approximately 7,700 screens at 4,028 locations, 2,463 of which offered 3D presentations. 3D accounted for 60 percent of Friday's business. The 3D share was in line with Shrek Forever After, which offered 3D at 2,373 of its 4,359 locations on its opening. With the arrival of Toy Story 3 and the requisite loss of 3D showings, Shrek Forever After plunged 63 percent to an estimated $1.6 million on Friday, lifting its total to $219.1 million in 29 days.

3D seems to be leading the way right now for hollywood to make more money. It will be interesting to see where the numbers end up after the weekend completes. By the way Box Office Mojo is becoming one of my favorite sites to go to on the weekends.
