Toy Story 3 added an estimated $59m in North America to sweep past $200m in its second weekend as it held on to pole position despite a spirited launch by Sony’s comedy Grown Ups.

The Pixar film is released through Buena Vista and has reached $226.6m in North America and $326m worldwide, factoring in the early $100m international box office after less than two weeks.

Grown Ups stars a comedy ensemble of Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider and launched in second place on $41m.

Some way behind in third on $20.5m was Fox’s action comedy Knight & Daywith Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz reuniting for the first time since Vanilla Sky in 2001. The film opened last Wednesday and has grossed $27.8m to date, which would be in line with studio expectations given the poor early tracking and critical response.

Sony’s The Karate Kid in fourth place has grossed $135.6m after three weekends, while Fox’s The A-Team in fifth stands at $62.8m after the same time.

Tweens and their mothers around the globe rejoice as next weekend’s wide releases bring Summit Entertainment’s The Twilight Saga: Eclipsestarring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Paramount releases action fantasy tale The Last Airbenderdirected by M Night Shyamalan.
