Clash of the titans

Toy Story 3. I think it will be HUGE.

I concur. I'm thinking at least Finding Nemo huge at this point.

Toy Story 3 definitely. Should comfortably be the next biggest OS grosser of the year.

Sex Toy Story BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

As of March 14:

Domestic: $730,344,000 (27.7%)
+ Foreign: $1,908,000,000 (72.3%)
----------------------------------------
= Worldwide: $2,638,344,000

If we go by BOM estimates from last week, that's a $29m week OS i believe.

Well, hey

Looks to fall short of $2bilioon, I say another $200m or so not including the proposed rerelease. It's already beaten Titanic's entire Worldwide gross with just the overseas gross alone.

BTW, according to HR the OS number is $1.914 billion and when it comes to OS numbers I trust HR over BOM.

HR probably has Puerto Rico included in the OS gross, hence it's wrong (since counted twice).

So, you still think $2b is possible, Lecter? Would need some monster late legs...

Would they really be wrong on the worldwide gross week after week?

They were always about $5m ahead week after week, i think that's not a coincidence but as said Puerto Rico.

My additions skills are so bad today...$200m will give it $2.114 billion LOL.

It needs $76m to hit $2billion now, achievable for sure.

Looks like Toy Story 3 takes the lead in the race. Is it really going to be THAT big

Should be pretty big on UK/Japan at least. Wasn't Toy Story 2 pretty massive in Britain? And that was before the international market had its big explosion this decade.

AUSTRALIA (AUD$) - Weekend 13

Not a lot of movies survives this long in the Top 20. Avatar, still inside the Top 10 and looks good for another $4m-5m.

UNITED KINGDOM - All-Time (Pounds)

Toy Story 2 held the record for an animted pic in local pounds for 4 years until Shrek 2. It's the 2nd largest animated flick of all-time and one of only two animated movies to crack 40m pounds.

It almost doubled Toy Story 1's original gross and remains to this date Pixar's largest ever release in the country.

Over the past year, only HP6 and Avatar managed to gross more than 40m pounds. Last year's two biggest animated pics Ice Age 3 and Up topped out at around 35m pounds. While the year before that, Madagascar 2 and Wall-E fought each other at around the 23m pounds mark.

This year looks to be the biggest yet, with Shrek 4 and Toy Story 3 sure to beat 35m pounds now with 3D. Toy Story 3 will beat Shrek 4 for sure due to the nostalgia and i won't be surprised if we saw 50m pounds for this.

In Japan,

Toy Story 2 grossed just over $30m. Bigger than most Dreamworks, Fox and all Pixar pics up to its release.

Since then Ratatouille ($34m), Dinosaur ($42.5m), Wall-E ($44m), Up ($54m), The Incredibles ($55m), Monsters Inc ($80m) and Finding Nemo ($107m) have beaten Toy Story 2's gross. Only Cars has failed to beat Toy Story 2 in the Pixar stable. Though of course, most of the local animated pics by Studio Ghibli and some Pokemon pics have grossed more.

Given Pixar's recent performance and this being a sequel, expect at least $50m with Monsters Inc's total the next target. I don't see this beating Finding Nemo.

The King is dead. Long live the King!!

Avatar became the biggest foreign movie in Poland. It's now at 3 520 585 adm and counting.

In Germany Avatar looks to have dropped around 23% this weekend (in admissions) and should stand at 10.17 million admissions now. Still the #13 movie of all-time (well, since 1968). I think 11 million is not totally out of question yet and 10.5 million is a lock. At worst it'll finish as #12, just ahead of Return of the King. At best it'll end up as #10.
