WEEKEND MOVIE WRAP-UP


The animated Toy Story 3 was the top film at the box office for the second weekend in a row, easily outperforming new releases from Adam Sandler and Tom Cruise.

The ensemble comedy Grown Ups, starring Sandler and Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider, opened well in second place with a $41 million take, despite being pummeled by critics. The movie features the five funnymen as boyhood friends who reunite as adults for the funeral of their old basketball coach. Salma Hayek co-stars.

Cruise's Knight and Day opened disappointingly in third place, taking in only $20.5 million, the worst debut for an action movie from the Hollywood A-lister in 20 years. Cruise stars as a spy who romances a civilian played by co-star Cameron Diaz while on a globe-spanning mission to protect a dangerous piece of technology.
