On Friday, Toy Story 3 officially became the seventh movie ever to reach $1 billion at the worldwide box office. By Sunday, the animated sequel's total rose to $1.012 billion, moving past The Dark Knight to rank sixth on the all-time chart. Domestically, Toy Story 3 ranks ninth with $405.7 million, and, on the foreign-only front, it has climbed to 12th place with $606.4 million.

Toy Story 3 stands as the first animated movie ever to pass the $1 billion mark, though its foreign tally still ranks behind Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs's $690.1 million. Also, with varying international exchange rates, inflation issues and the 3D ticket price premium, it's difficult to determine exactly where Toy Story 3 would land in terms of estimated attendance. Based on the information available, it clearly still lags behind Shrek 2, Finding Nemo and The Lion King among other modern-day animated movies.

While becoming a billionaire, Toy Story 3 had another strong weekend at the foreign box office, grossing an estimated $12.7 million. It was up five percent thanks in part to first place debuts in all four Scandinavian markets (Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden) that amounted to $3.7 million. Overall, Toy Story 3's top markets have been Japan, where it ranks behind Finding Nemo as the second biggest-grossing American animation with $115 million, and the United Kingdom, where it has generated $104.7 million and is about to exceed Mamma Mia! and Titanic in local currency.

Following the success of Alice in Wonderland ($1.024 billion), Toy Story 3 marks distributor Walt Disney Pictures' second $1 billion movie of 2010. This is the first time a studio has had two $1 billion movies in a single year.
