LOS ANGELES - Disney's domination over the box office only seemed to strengthen this weekend as"Toy Story 4" easily topped box office charts.
"Toy Story 4's" bow ranks as the fourth-biggest launch for an animated movie behind"Incredibles 2" ,"Finding Dory" , and"Shrek the Third" . It's also only the third movie this year to cross $100 million in receipts during its opening weekend. The other two --"Captain Marvel" and"Avengers: Endgame" -- were both Disney releases as well.
In a very distant second place, United Artists'"Child's Play" earned $14 million when it opened in 3,007 venues. That represents a solid start for the modestly budgeted horror film, which is a remake of the 1988 thriller about an evil Chucky doll. Aubrey Plaza stars in"Child's Play," which Mark Hamill voices the creepy voodoo doll. It cost $10 million to produce.
