Fans of Buzz and Woody will be happy to hear that Disney has given the go ahead to a third installment in the Toy Story series. Moviehole reports that Jared Stern, one of Disney’s feature animation story developers, has been tasked with progressing a storyline he devised to further the adventures of the popular toys voiced by Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. However, all may not be rosy. As previously noted here the relationship between Disney and Pixar, the team behind the first two films, has ended, and will officially close at the end of their current project ‘Cars’. Without a last-minute deal this film will be Disney’s alone, and ‘Toy Story’ without Pixar may be cause for concern.

Turns out a sequel to a terrible movie about a blind superhero wasn’t the great idea somebody, somewhere thought it was. This weekend’s highly publicized sequel to ‘Daredevil’ – ‘Elektra’ – starring Jennifer Garner stumbled to a fifth place debut with a $12.5 million haul. It fell behind not only Samuel L Jackson’s ‘Coach Carter’ – a much less publicized debut – but also the barely discussed Dennis Quaid/Topher Grace ‘In Good Company’. Not good.
1 Coach Carter $23.6M ($23,600,000)
2 Meet the Fockers $19M ($231,000,000)
