Toy Story 3 held its No. 1 spot at the North American box office this weekend, bringing in $59,337,669 according to Box Office Mojo, which just published final figures. This weekend's earnings brings the film's total domestic gross so far to $226,889,351.The Los Angeles Times notes that 'TS3' made nearly as much money in its second weekend in theatres as this week's two major new releases combined.
The film also hit the $100 million mark at the foreign box office, having opened in a handful of markets in Central and South America, Europe, and Asia, but no major ones like France, Japan, or the U.K. Toy Story 3's worldwide gross earnings now total an astonishing $326,889,351.
Finding Nemo has held the title of Pixar's highest grossing picture since 2003. It made $339.7 million domestically, a figure '3' will "have no trouble surpassing", in the opinion of one industry watcher who spoke to MTV News.
Not many people are talking about this yet, but when you consider that Finding Nemo's total worldwide gross was over $867.8 million, and take into account inflation and current ticket prices and trends, Toy Story 3 may very well reach 1 billion dollars worldwide before it finishes its run. Agree?

Definitely agree. This film is drawing crowds that even include people who don't go to theaters regularly.
Agreed. It had sure better, anyways.
I'm quite sure '3' will reach 1 billion dollars woldwide! Can't wait to see it here in Italy!
Ha, ha, I loved the Hamm poster as part of the box-office post, funny...
And I desperately hope it gets 1 billion, or at the very least beats out Shrek 2 for highest grossing animated feature (it already beat out Shrek Forever After in both domestic and worwldwide, HA!). It deserves it SO much. I'm going to see it at LEAST 5 times and in every format possible! Woo-hoo! C'mon everybody, let's get it to a BILLION!
Indeed the great talent at Pixar should be rewarded handsomely!
Excellent film. PDF of screenplay, perhaps?
I hope it does! I'm going to see it Thursday in Bahrain (that's a small island country next to Saudi Arabia's East Coast). I think it's the first day it will be playing there.
What Zaji said - I can't wait for the PDF screenplay to be released by Disney on their "for you consideration/Oscars" page. I've already collected the screenplays for WALL-E, Up, and Fantastic Mr. Fox (can't remember how I got that one), and now I need to add another.
I agree with all you guys! Lets make it to a BILLION BUCKS!!!!!!
