Toy Story 3 Is Ready To Break The 2010 Box Office Records

With its bulletproof track record, Pixar returns with a sequel to its only sequel - Toy Story 3. It should have no problem breaking the opening weekend record for the company which is still held by 2004's The Incredibles with $70.5M. My prediction Toy Story 3 will score $90 - $100M mark this weekend, considering most of the moviegoer will watch it in 3D cineplex. While Karate Kid should finish 2nd this weekend as the critics are so positive and has 'a very good word of mouth' from the audiences as well. Jonah Hex, sorry to say, for me it might be a kind of disasterous flop...hrmmm hard to say. Let's see how it goes Monday. - Ibrahem.S

Toy Story 3 welcomes Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), Buzz (voice of Tim Allen) and the whole gang back to the big screen as Andy prepares to depart for college and his loyal toys find themselves in... day care! These untamed tots with their sticky little fingers do not play nice, so it's all for one and one for all as plans for the great escape get underway. A few new faces-some plastic, some plush-join the adventure, including iconic swinging bachelor and Barbie's counterpart Ken (voice of Michael Keaton), a thespian hedgehog named Mr. Pricklepants (voice of Timothy Dalton) and a pink, strawberry-scented teddy bear called Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear (voice of Ned Beatty). Directed by Lee Unkrich, produced by Pixar veteran Darla K. Anderson, and written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Michael Arndt, Toy Story 3 is a comical new adventure in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D.

Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone...and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His only human connection is with Lila (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead. Based on the legendary character from the graphic novels, "Jonah Hex" is an epic adventure thriller about one man's personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil.
