It's Official! Toy Story 3 Passes the $1 Billion Mark

It’s always heartwarming to hear that a giant corporation who released an established property successfully recouped on its investment, but you may want to grab some tissues for the news that Disney’s Toy Story 3 has just passed the $1 billion mark, which should absolutely melt your insides. That makes it the only animated film and only the seventh film overall to to achieve that milestone. Even more impressive: This is Disney’s second $1 billion-grossing film after Alice In Wonderland, making it the first-ever studio to get two in one year—and all it took was charging inflated 3-D ticket prices. Something tells us that, somewhere, James Cameron just made a derisive snorting noise.

Toy Story 3 to Cross $1 Billion Box Office Mark!

Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 3 is the gift that just keeps on giving at the box office.

The animated movie sequel, which ranks seventh among all-time worldwide grossing films, is expected to cross the $1 billion mark on Friday, according to the studio, making Disney the first company to field two $1 billion blockbusters in the same year

Earlier this year, Disney's Alice in Wonderland, also crossed that line and currently stands in fifth place in the all-time worldwide rankings with $1.024 billion.

Disney has one other previous movie in the $1 billion club: 2006's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," which ranks fourth with $1.066 billion.

Amazing!

Analysis: In the early 90s, Pixar was a struggling company that was reportedly costing then-owner Steve Jobs so much that he considered selling it at a loss. That was of course before Disney released Pixar's first full-length feature, Toy Story, in November 1995. Toy Story went on to gross $191.8 million, in the process making Pixar a household name (further cemented by A Bug's Life in 1998). The sequel hit theaters four years later, improving on the original with a $245.9 million take.

Toy Story 3 sees the return of the entire original voice cast minus Jim Varney (Slinky Dog), who passed away in 2000. Similar to the first two, the plot of Toy Story 3 covers timeless issues like the importance of friendship and family, and does so with a healthy dose of comedy and action. As a result, Toy Story 3 is likely to have the same demographic-defying appeal that other Pixar movies have had over the last 15 years.

As discussed in the Shrek Forever After preview, computer-animated sequels have progressively improved their international takes, even when domestic dipped. This trend was particularly noticeable in the Ice Age series: the second movie, Ice Age: The Meltdown grossed $460 million internationally, while the third movie, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, made $687 million. Only three years separated the Ice Age pictures, though, while Toy Story 3 comes out more than a decade after Toy Story 2, and that was a decade in which rapid globalization has occurred within the movie industry. As a result, Toy Story 3 is almost guaranteed to make significantly more overseas than its predecessors.

With its broad appeal and the strength of the Toy Story brand, Toy Story 3 should open strongly and should have no problem being the ninth consecutive Pixar pictures to reach $200 million and beyond. Add in the higher 3D ticket prices, and it may even be able challenge Finding Nemo for highest grossing Pixar movie of all time.
