9 Killers $1.94M
10 Jonah Hex $1.63M
"Toy Story 3" beat the competition this weekend again, rising above Sandler's comedy "Grown Ups" and the Cruise-Diaz action romance "Knight and Day."
In 10 days, "Toy Story 3" has made $226.6 million. It crossed the $200 million mark in eight days. "Finding Nemo," Pixar's highest grossing animated film, took 20 days. Will "Toy Story 3" take the top spot out of all the Pixar films? Well, it stills needs around $113 million for that honor.
The competition between funny-man Sandler and action-star Cruise proved that savage reviews and goofball jokes prove better for box office success. That and maybe more parents wanted to bring their kids along to a family comedy.
Overall, this was a pretty slow weekend.Dropping below the Top 4 you see some pretty small numbers compared those top earnings. "Jonah Hex" is in the dead zone with $15 million in total after its $60 million budget. That's a pretty big slap in the face to anyone who worked on that project.
Next week you're either in line for "Eclipse," staying at home to hide from the tweens and Twilight Moms, or planning on throwing garlic and silver to those previous mentioned groups while they wait in movie theater lines. Your choice!

Box Office results for the weekend!
1 Shutter Island$22.2 M
2 Cop Out$18.5 M
3 The Crazies $16.5 M
4 Avatar $14.0 M
5 Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief $9.8 M
6 Valentine's Day $9.5 M
7 Dear John $5.0 M
8 The Wolfman $4.1 M
9 The Tooth Fairy $3.4 M
10 Crazy Heart $2.5 M
"Shutter Island" stayed at the top of the list as the No. 1 film, knocking off two newcomers and managing to earn decent coin while doing so. The Scorsese thriller has reached just over $79 million worldwide and will hopefully continue to do well since its budget was around $80 million.
Watching the trailers for "Cop Out" didn't make me feel good about the film, but I was still hoping to hear positive feedback from other critics. Sadly, I have heard only negative feedback. How long will it stay in the Top Ten if everyone keeps saying it's bad?
As for "The Crazies," everything I hear is good - that it is more than a remake, it is a whole horror reimagining. Besides, I just like Timothy Olyphant as an actor.
"Avatar" refuses to falter. That's eleven weekends in a row its been in the top four, a feat I'd have thought impossible these days. It has now passed $700 million in domestic dollars and is sitting pretty with a worldwide gross of $2,481,904,000. My keyboard just ran out of zeroes for the day.
The rest of the films continue to peter out with "The Wolfman" dropping like a rock and "Valentine's Day" somehow still staying above the surface. I have my theories on this, but I feel a wave of estrogen fury will come my way if I continue to mouth off - both online and off.
Next weekend, "Alice in Wonderland" tumbles into theaters and will most likely take the No. 1 spot.

Videos Galore: Clips, Trailers and Featurettes on Your Favorite Films
"The Crazies," director Breck Eisner's ("Sahara") remake of a George A. Romero film, hits theaters this weekend.
The film centers on the inhabitants of a small town who become unwitting victims of a government bio weapon that turns people into murdering psychopaths. The film stars Timothy Olyphant
("Hitman") and Radha Mitchell ("Silent Hill").
In this featurette, courtesy of Empire, SFX makeup designer Rob Hall describes what kind of thought process went into making "The Crazies" look…well, crazy.

Now here's a little stroke to add to your funny bone in the form of a new clip from "Date Night," the action/comedy that stars Tina Fey ("30 Rock") and Steve Carell ("The Office") as a nerdy couple trying to spice up their marriage via the titular date night custom. When they get bold and decide to swipe a reservation at a fancy restaurant, the couple land themselves in the most deadly case of mistaken identity ever.
"Date Night" hits theaters April 9, 2010.
In this clip, Carell and Fey’s characters are on the run and seek help from a certain shirtless guy you may recognize:
DreamWorks Animation has debuted the final trailer for their upcoming animated movie "How to Train Your Dragon" featuring the voice talents of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jonah Hill, America Ferrera, Kristen Wiig and T.J. Miller.
I've heard good things about this movie (and you can catch a great review here), so I'm hoping the movie will turn out as good as I'm expecting.
"How to Train Your Dragon" soars into theaters March 26, 2010.
Surely you have all seen the "Iron Man 2" theatrical trailer by now – and surely you remember that one of the most kick-ass parts of that trailer is the moment when we see Mickey Rourke in his crude Whiplash armor for the first time, ambushing an armorless Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) while in a race.
That Whiplash ambush sequence is set in Monaco, France and we previously saw some behind-the-scenes footage of the Monaco sequence and now, courtesy of MSN France, we have even more! The video shows a brand new scene presumably set after the events of the Monaco ambush.
"Iron Man 2" hits theaters May 7, 2010.

1 Shutter Island$40.2 M
2 Valentine's Day $17.1 M
3 Avatar $16.1 M
4 Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief $15.3 M
5 The Wolfman $9.8 M
6 Dear John $7.3 M
7 The Tooth Fairy $4.5 M
8 Crazy Heart$3.0 M
9 From Paris With Love $2.5 M
10 Edge of Darkness $2.2 M
"Shutter Island" had a great debut despite it being delayed from its original October release. The studio says it delayed the film for more opportunity to display advertising for the film during the Super Bowl and Olympics. Looked like that extra time paid off.
"Valentine's Day" continues to steal money from hard working individuals as it fell one notch to 2nd place. Some might say this film is doing fine since it only fell one spot. Indeed, that's an accurate statement for monetary reasons as the film's reported worldwide earnings are now up to $122 million. However, if I made a film that hit the $122 million mark and held a 17 percent rating at RottenTomatoes - I'm not sure how high I would hold my head.
James Cameron's sci-fi epic lost out to "Percy Jackson" last weekend, but came back with some extra blue aliens and 3D technology to put the fantasy film in its place - which is beneath "Avatar." And a lot has been said about "Avatar" already… so I really have nothing more to add other than to point out it is now over $2.4 billion worldwide… which is a lot of money.
"The Wolfman" dropped to 5th with $9.8 million. It has earned $97 million so far worldwide and probably won't be getting a sequel (though if you saw the film, you would understand how a sequel would be very...different).
The rest of the films continue to peter out.
Next week we start getting nuts as "The Crazies" makes its horror debut. It's going up against Kevin Smith's police comedy "Cop Out."

New 'The Crazies' Trailer
Overture Films has debuted a new trailer for "The Crazies" remake that stars Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Joe Anderson, Danielle Panabaker and a town full of crazy people.
This new trailer is better than the first as it immediately jumps into things right away and looks pretty damn creepy. It plays more like a serial killer movie than a thriller, but it still has a very intense feeling to it.
The movie is a remake of George Romero's 1973 film of the same name.
"The Crazies" hits theaters on February 26, 2010 next year.

'The Crazies' Trailer
Overture Films has debuted the first official trailer for "The Crazies" remake directed by Breck Eisner. This stars Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker, Joe Anderson, Joe Reegan, and a whole town full of crazies. I actually think this trailer looks pretty damn good, despite it being a remake without one of the strongest directors. George Romero, who directed the original "The Crazies" in 1973 (and then went to on make "Dawn of the Dead") had nothing to do with this remake at all. I don't think it's going to be as good as the original and it's not going to be one of the best movies of next year, but it doesn't look terrible. And might I add I really like Timothy Olyphant as an actor (except in "Hitman").
The song playing at the end just makes me think of "Donnie Darko."
The story revolves around the inhabitants of a small Iowa town who are suddenly beset by death and insanity after a plane crash lets loose a mysterious secret biological weapon into the water supply.
The Crazies will hit theaters on February 26th, 2010.
