"Toy Story 3," Pixar's 11th feature-length animated film and thought by many to be one of its greatest, won the box office race by a landslide this past weekend with $109 million in ticket sales, according to Entertainment Weekly. The G-rated movie also holds the title as the highest grossing opening weekend for the esteemed animation studio. Boosting its numbers was the fact that the film was shown at 2,000 3D locations, which accounted for 50 percent of its earnings. "Toy Story 3" is the third chapter in the franchise and continues the story of a group of toys owned by Andy, who is now headed off to college. It looks like the entire trilogy has been an enormous success for Pixar. "Toy Story," the first feature-length film released by the studio, took in $361 million worldwide, while "Toy Story 2" accrued over $485 in ticket sales around the globe. However, it's safe to say every movie Pixar has produced has been an enormous commercial and critical success. In fact, since the Academy Awards began handing out honors for Best Animated Feature, they have been nominated for every one of their films.
