Toy Story 3 Takes Crown for Second Time, Grown Ups Settle for Silver

This weekend's box office race was won once again by Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 3.  The newest sequel in the franchise that started Pixar's run of box office hits dropped 46.5% in its second weekend (a modest drop considering the huge opening weekend it had), adding another $59 million to its grosses for a total of $226.5 million in only 10 days.

Second place went to Adam Sandler's ensemble comedy Grown Ups, opening with a very strong $41 million.  Distributor Sony Pictures has a hit on its hands, especially considering the absolutely abysmal word of mouth around the film (as of this writing, its Tomatometer rating is sitting at 9%).

Third place went to another new film, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz's Knight and Day.  The film opened with a moderate $20.5 million, bringing its total to $27.8 million after some sneak preview screenings last weekend and a Wednesday opening.

The Karate Kid fell from second to fourth place, adding another $15.4 million to its total for $135.6 million in three weeks.

Finally, the A-Team dropped 58% in its third weekend to take fifth place with $6 million in box office receipts for $62.8 million so far.
