6 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time $5.2 M
7 Killers $5.1 M
8 Jonah Hex$5.0 M
9 Iron Man 2 $2.6 M
10 Marmaduke $2.6 M
"Toy Story 3" had biggest debut in June history, taking in $109 million this weekend and extending Pixar's streak of opening at the top of the box office to 11.
The last film of the franchise bested its competition — and predecessors — by a mile. The original movie opened at $39.1 million in 1995, while "Toy Story 2" made $83 million four years later.
This time around, the cartoon added 3-D and Imax to the mix, boosting repeat business as kids checked out the film in different formats.
Sadly the film doesn't have the biggest opening weekend for an animated film, as that title is still held by "Shrek the Third" at $121 million.
Still the film will continue to make big bucks as it has amazing word-of-mouth. And let me tell you it really is a great film. The first thing I did when I got home after the flick was take out all my old toys from the closet that I hadn't touched in years and play with them. I know - that's weird. But the movie practically compels you to. Go see it and tell me I'm wrong.
Other films dropped a respectable amount, with only one other film opening this past weekend.
Poor "Jonah Hex." It bombed terribly. The budget has been estimated at around $60 million and the film only made $5 million its opening weekend. And it will only drop lower from there. There goes Megan Fox's career down the toilet!
Expect "Toy Story 3" to hold the top spot next weekend as well since I don't expect "Knight and Day" and "Grown Ups" beating out the kid factor.

Behind-the-Scenes Featurette on 'Green Zone'
A new featurette that takes us behind the scenes of Paul Greengrass’ "Green Zone" has just been released by Universal. If you found the previous trailers too heavy on action and not heavy enough on story, then this featurette will help remedy that.
Greengrass and star Matt Damon talk at different points during a viewing of the trailer and explain the type of movie it is, hinting at where the story goes, what their aims for it were and how it compares to the "Bourne" films they worked on together.
Official synopsis:
During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission.
Spun by operatives with intersecting agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.
Admittedly, the film still looks like “Bourne in Iraq,” but with those involved on both sides of the camera, and with the subject matter, is that really a major surprise? And an even better question – is that really a bad thing?
"Green Zone" is directed by Greengrass and is based on the book "Imperial Life in the Emerald City" by Rajiv Chandrasekaran. Alongside Damon it co-stars Jason Isaacs, Brendan Gleeson, Greg Kinnear and Amy Ryan.
It’s set to hit theaters on March 12, 2010.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

Another 'Green Zone' Trailer
Director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon have teamed up again for another high-paced action thriller, "Green Zone," and a new trailer for it has been made available online.
The first trailer for the flick debuted online last week alongside Damon’s other upcoming movie, "Invictus."
Here's the synopsis of the film:

Do you think he feels too much like one of the "Bourne" movies?

Trailers and Clips Galore!
A whole slew of trailers and clips have come out in the past day, so I am going to jam them all in this one post so you can enjoy all of them in one sitting.
"Shutter Island"
The first trailer for this film came out back in June, but sadly the movie's release date moved from October 2 this year to February 19 next year. A second trailer appeared last month and now we have a new trailer you can watch below. The creepy factor for this movie has escalated in every trailer, but do you think we are seeing too much of the plot?
"Alice in Wonderland"
The original teaser trailer for this film came out in July, and this new trailer is basically the exact same thing but edited differently and being a second or two longer. Can't wait for a real trailer to come out for this film already.
Alice in Wonderland - Extended Trailer
"Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day"
While the movie right now is only a limited release, you can catch the first five minutes of the film in the video below. Want to see the rest of the movie now?
"Green Zone"
Matt Damon teams up with "Bourne" director Paul Greengrass again to brings us another action movie. It is loosely-based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran's non-fiction book The Imperial Life in Emerald City.
"Invictus"
Clint Eastwood’s latest directorial effort, entitled "Invictus" (which is Latin for “unconquered”) stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, a Rugby player for South Africa. The film centers on when Mandela campaigned, “to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup event as an opportunity to unite his countrymen.” Will this be an Oscar contender?
Yeah, we have two Matt Damon trailers here. Got a problem with that?
