Toy Story 3 crushed the box office competition over the weekend, raking in $109 million -- the second-biggest opening-weekend gross for an animated film. Only two other cartoons have opened to more than $100 million -- Shrek the Third with $122 million in 2007, and Shrek 2 with $108 million in 2004.

The weekend's other new offering, Josh Brolin and Megan Fox's Jonah Hex, debuted with a disappointing $5.09 million on nearly 3,000 screens. The comic-book Western had a $40 budget that it seems unlikely to recoup.

Last week's top-earner, The Karate Kid, held up strong, coming it at number two with another $29 million. That brings its domestic gross to $106 million so far.

The box office results are as follows:

1. Toy Story 3, $109 million
2. The Karate Kid, $29 million
3. The A-Team, $13.8 million
4. Get Him to the Greek, $6.1 million
5. Shrek Forever After, $5.5 million
6. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, $5.3 million
7. Killers, $5.1 million
8. Jonah Hex, $5.09 million
9. Iron Man 2, $2.7 million
10. Marmaduke, $2.65 million
