The Toys are back in town.
The re-release of Pixar’s Toy Story and Toy Story 2 as a 3-D double feature arrives this week for its two-week limited run in 1,745 theaters. The special presentation also includes the first look at Toy Story 3, due out next summer, also in 3-D.
Other new films trying to keep the toys from the top spot are the horror comedy Zombieland, opening in slightly more than 3,000 cinemas; the Ricky Gervais comedy The Invention of Lying, which arrives in 1,707 theaters, and Drew Barrymore’s roller derby comedy Whip It, at 1,720 locations.
Also expected to stay in the box office race is Sony Pictures Animation’s Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs ‘ whose 3-D version will lose some of its screens to the Toy Story films.
The Focus release 9, a stop-motion film directed by Shane Acker, also remains in release.
