"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.

"The Karate Kid" has won a 1980s showdown at the box office against "The A-Team."
The remake of 1984's "Karate Kid" debuted at No. 1 for the weekend while big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV series "The A-Team" came in at No. 2 with less than half what "Karate Kid" made.
After three weekends at No. 1, "Shrek Forever After" slipped to No. 3, raising its domestic gross to $210.1 million, becoming the fourth movie released this year to top $200 million.
Other films continues to slip n' slide to DVD land. Some making modest amounts of money, some not even making back its budget. All in all, this has been a slow summer so far and might not pick up but for a few more films. Next summer is going to be a doozy though.
Expect "Toy Story 3" to dominate the weekend. I really have no idea where "Jonah Hex" is going to wind up, but it does have Megan Fox in it...

"Shrek" bested four new movies this week to stay on top for three weeks in a row. Not something that happens too often in the summer with all the big tentpole films. But this summer has been lacking so far...
And "Get Him to the Greek, the faulty but still funny comedy from the guys behind "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," is supposed to be this summer's "The Hangover." Don't think it will be making the same amount that film did.
"Killers" came in third - giving Ashton Kutcher more things to tweet about.
The big surprise was "Marmaduke" beating "Splice." Maybe the kid factor had its hand in making parents take their kids to see a talking, dancing dog rather than a genetic creature that gets into all sorts of creepy trouble.
Look for "Shrek" and the debuting "A-Team" to sit beneath "The Karate Kid" next weekend as it is expected to open big. Despite how mediocre the film is, and the fact that it's a bunch of little kids fighting (and a remake that bears little resemblance to the original except for plot structure), it's tracking well and is getting lots of positive buzz. It better do as much business as it can because "Toy Story 3" comes out the 18th and is going to crush any movie that tries to get in its way.

Second 'The A-Team' Trailer
Fox has debuted the second full-length trailer for Joe Carnahan's "The A-Team," which stars Quinton Jackson as B.A. , Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Bradley Cooper as Face and Sharlto Copley as Murdock
As badass as the first trailer was, this one is even better. It gives us more of an idea of the style of action in the film (luckily it’s not all as ridiculous as parachuting out of a plane in a tank from the end of the first trailer) as well as the plot. We also get to see a bit more of Jessica Biel as Captain Charisa Sosa, the ex girlfriend of Face (Cooper) and Patrick Wilson as the man trying to track the Team down.
Having never being an avid watcher of the television show (not a child of the 80's) and since I mostly stick to films, I don't know how well this trailer reflects upon the show. If you are a fan of the original show, does this trailer make it look like the film might do the show justice?
I have to say that I still think the action still looks a little over the top, but the previous few trailers posted on this blog have all been full of action that defies the laws of physics.
"The A-Team" hits theaters on June 11, 2010.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

'The Losers' Gets Delayed for a Head-to-Head Against 'The A-Team'
Anyone who got excited about the above trailer for "The Losers" can go back to relaxing now. Warner Bros. has decided to delay the film two months.
The release date for Sylvain White's adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comic book series has been pushed back from April 9 to June 4.
What makes the decision regarding "The Losers" a tad bizarre, and more than a little ballsy, is that it will now be competing directly with Fox's "The A-Team."
"The Losers" stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, Zoe Saldana and Idris Elba, among others.
"The A-Team" hits theaters a week after "The Losers." Now, which group of special agents will be the winners?

'The A-Team' Trailer Has Been Hired Online
The first official trailer for "The A-Team" has been released and it’s something you’re going to want to see if you're a fan of the series or have never seen an episode in your life.
The film, directed by Joe Carnahan ("Smokin' Aces") is a feature film adaptation of the 1983-87 television series that starred George Peppard, Mr. T, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz as a crew of Vietnam vets convicted of crimes they didn't commit. They escape and become a crew of armed mercenaries known as "The A-Team."
In Carnahan's film, the Middle East will stand in for Vietnam and the story will be presented as an origins tale starring Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as Sgt Bosco 'B.A.' Baracus, Sharlto Copley as Capt. 'Howling Mad' Murdock and Liam Neeson as Col John 'Hannibal' Smith. Jessica Biel and Patrick Wilson also star.
I will admit to never watched the show religously, but judging from what I have seen, the trailer keeps the classic music and feel of the television series but really pushes the action to the extreme.
If you are a big fan of the classic series, is this what you expect to see out of an "A-Team" film? Your thoughts on how close the characters are to the television series?
