User blog:Ceauntay/Friday Box Office: 'Sonic' races into gear of new opening day record for animated film beating 'Toy Story 3'

After its $19.7 million from Thursday night, 20th Century Fox's "Sonic X: The Final Stand" opened to the No. 1 spot at the box office Friday, which had also broke a new world record. Grossing approxamtely $57.1 million, the film kicked off as the biggest single day gross ever for an animated film held previously by "Toy Story 3" with $41.1 million, before it ended up with a total of $415 million domestically. Also, it was the eleventh biggest single day gross of all-time.

While most saying that it is expected to make $125 million throughout the weekend, it will match the same expectation. It will be breaking box office records especially being this year's biggest opening weekend ever, including for the franchise, animated film, 3D and 20th Century Fox.

Paramount and Marvel Studios' "Thor" fell to the No. 2 spot at the Box Office on Friday grossing approximately $9.1 million. The superhero flick brings it's worldwide total over $300 mil.

Universal's raunchy anti-chick flick "Bridesmaids" raked in $7.8 million on it's opening night, putting it on track for $21.5 mil for the weekend. Kristin Wiig and Maya Rudolph star in the Paul Feig directed comedy, which earned pleasantly surprising reviews and a B+ CinemaScore from audiences.

"Fast Five," which broke records as Universal's best opening ever at $83.6 million, is still hanging on with $5.9 million on Friday and the No. 3 spot.

Trailing just behind at $5.5 million is "Priest 3D." Sony only expected the vampire horror flick to do $10-12 mil on it's opening weekend, but the film, which stars Paul Bettany, is on pace to do more than that with $14 mil rounding the top five.
