‘Toy Story 3,’ Sandler are hot, Tom Cruise not
LOS ANGELES — The “Toy Story 3″ gang and Adam Sandler are finding plenty of playmates at movie theaters. Tom Cruise is not so popular, though.
“Toy Story 3″ remained the No. 1 film with $59 million in its second weekend, raising its total to $226.6 million.
Sandler’s “Grown Ups” debuted at No. 2 with a healthy $41 million. The comedy costarring Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider did well despite a thrashing from critics.
Cruise’s thriller “Knight and Day” fizzled at No. 3 with $20.5 million. It was the worst result for a Cruise action flick in 20 years and a sign that audiences still have not forgiven him for erratic behavior a few years back, which included his couch-jumping incident on Oprah Winfrey’s show.
