The revenue of this series is closely related to Duke. After leaving the premiere theater and returning to Malibu's home, Duke immediately updated his instant sharing and official website messages, firmly promoting films that benefit him.
“Toy Story 3 by Pixar Studios has been 17 years away from the first movie, and it has been more than 10 years since the second movie. As an animated cartoon, such a time span means the earliest through the first love The small audiences on Woody and Buzz Lightyear have entered adulthood. In fact, this is a very unfavorable situation for the sequel of a children's film."
"But what Pixar is best at is eating all-you-can-eat. The first hour of the film is to entertain new friends, and the second half of the hour is to give back to old friends. Andy has grown from an ignorant boy to a teenager who is about to enter the university campus. It is easy for the audience to feel substituting, because of this, the whole film always permeates a kind of pity and sorrow in a relaxed and humorous atmosphere. It is actually a farewell party."
Like other film companies in Hollywood, Pixar Studios is not a separate company. With the support of a huge platform like Time Warner, it will undoubtedly attract more media attention in terms of publicity.
Feelings are a marketing tool in North America, and "Toy Story 3", which is a big hit, won praise in the media.
"The film uses a main story with clear lines and clear motives, endless emergencies and ingenious resolutions that always lead the audience to integrate into a seemingly far-fetched but interesting process. The main creators of the film interpret the characters even more. To be bold, each character has bright spots and outstanding personalities, including villains such as Hug Bears, who have rich personality levels, especially the design and creativity that use their respective advantages to cooperate with each other in the escape scene."
--"Washington post"
""Toy Story 3" is a far better movie than "Robot Wall" and "Flying House". In 103 minutes, it has never neglected the audience's interest. It has elements of action and horror.

-"Los Angeles Times"

For Duke and Time Warner, as long as the mainstream audience is willing to buy it, everything else can be thrown aside.
The box office of "Toy Story 3" also reflects this appropriately. Although the box office of the Midnight Show is only 8.8 million US dollars, it is an animated film, and it also created the North American Midnight Show box office record for an animated feature film!
In the daytime on Friday, "Toy Story 3" was screened on more than 8,200 screens in 4,028 theaters in North America. Although the film appeared in overseas markets ahead of time, it did not affect the enthusiasm for movies in the United States and the radiation of the audience’s huge reputation. It's all about making the movie's box office icing on the cake.
On the day it opened, the film earned US$48.15 million in North America, which also broke the North American premiere record of the animated feature film held by Pixar Studios. Even if you look at the world, this is an unattainable achievement created by animated films in a single market.

Correspondingly, "Toy Story 3" was a great voice. Netizens posted their opinions on the film on Twitter and instant sharing.
"As the end of the "Toy Story" trilogy. The film arranges an exciting ending for Andy and the toys. For children, toys not only represent a kind of life pleasure and spiritual dependence, but also become a long life. The indelible coordinates of life in China."
"Maybe we can't experience the dramatic gatherings between toys and Yiyi like Andy, but at least the film reminds us of the toys that have accompanied us through our lonely childhood. For most people, I am afraid that there is no Opportunity to do like Andy, whether their missing fate will stir your heartstrings under the inspiration of "Toy Story 3" is a touchstone to test your innocence and feelings."
"The conversation between Andy and the little girl Bonnie actually implies the transmission and continuation of childlike innocence. When Andy passionately introduced Bonnie to these toys that accompany him through his unforgettable childhood, the shock and melancholy produced here are okay. It’s comparable to the opening 10 minutes of "Flying House". The expression is more basic and natural. The last 20 minutes of "Toy Story 3" alone is enough to make this movie immortal, which is also the real Pixar Animation Where the value lies."
For viewers who have watched the first part of "Toy Story", this movie is like a live-action film of "Transformers" to the steel wire, which means too much.
"I see "Toy Story" in the third grade of elementary school, and "Toy Story 3" is a college graduate... I want to say this is a gift from Pixar Studios to our generation. Goodbye, my childhood! Thank you You, Woody! Thank you, Buzz Lightyear! Thank you, Pixar Studios!"
"The touching thing about "Toy Story 3" is that it gave us old guys a formal opportunity to say goodbye to our childhood. When Andy, who was in college, once again carried the Hoodie Cowboy on his back, it took seventeen years. So friendly and gentle disappeared into the sunset in the distance of Muzha House."
"Finally, when Andy counted his toys, it made me realize that I just grew up like this, and my toys will never go back to the past. "Toy Story" has imprinted in my heart since childhood-let I think toys are small lives with emotions, and there are emotions in the dimensions we don’t know. Moreover, compared with real life, toys will bring less pressure to me. Toys will not die, so long as they are not abandoned, so Don't abandon them..."
Amidst praise, "Toy Story 3" also spent its first weekend.
Friday was 41.14 million U.S. dollars; on Saturday, there was a slight decline, but there was also 37.09 million U.S. dollars; on Sunday, the decline expanded again, but the result of 32.06 million U.S. dollars was also impressive enough.
In the first three days, the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached $110.3 million!
As a feature-length animated film with a relatively long period of value preservation in theaters, such a box office in the first week almost indicates that "Toy Story 3" will inevitably be a big seller.
In terms of overseas box office, "Toy Story 3" has performed well in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, New Zealand, Australia and even Latin America. However, in the Far East, due to many reasons such as the character image and the typical Western theme it contains, it has suffered To a certain degree of cold reception.
Especially in the Chinese market where "Avengers" has sold more than 1.598 billion RMB, "Toy Story 3" received mediocre response. In the first three days, it only got less than 40 million RMB at the box office.
Of course, this is not just the reason for "Toy Story 3" itself. The Chinese animated film market has not yet fully formed. The animated films that can be sold in China are not such full-age animated feature films, but are specially made for ten. A completely juvenile movie watched by children aged and below.
However, even if it was cold in the Far East, the overseas box office of "Toy Story 3" in the first week exceeded US$200 million, and the global box office totaled US$328.99 million!
This is already an achievement that allows Duke, Time Warner and Pixar Studios to hold a celebration party.
When the box office of "Avengers", which is a fast-moving consumer product in theaters, turned to be flat, "Toy Story 3" once again stimulated Warner's box office fortune.
When the time is slowly approaching July, the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached more than 297 million US dollars, and the North American box office exceeded 300 million US dollars.
The global box office of the film came to a height of 624.71 million US dollars!
At this time, no one doubts that the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" can exceed 400 million US dollars, and the global box office can exceed 1 billion US dollars!
The ending song of the "Toy Story" series is bound to create the myth of the animated feature film.
At the same time, the popularity of "Avengers" is declining. Up to now, although the scale of theaters is still more than 4,000, the film scheduling rate has already fallen below 30%, and the single-day box office has also fallen to Million dollar level.
However, at the end of June, the "Avengers" created the fastest record of breaking $600 million in North America. (~^~)
