Toy Story 3 earns $41 million on Friday

Toy Story 3 earned an estimated $41,000,000 at the North American box office on Friday, the best opening ever for an animated film. In comparison, WALL-E and Up both earned less than $25 million on their first days in theatres.

Yesterday's opening puts 'TS3' on track to easily reach $100 million or more this weekend, which would surpass the record set by The Incredibles in 2004, $70.5 million, as Pixar's all-time best opening weekend.

Toy Story 3 is currently playing at over 4000 theatres across Canada and the United States.

I'm hoping that this one sets records that last a decade or more. It certainly deserves it!
