After wrapping up an incredibly long 196-day run in the movie theaters, Sandra Bullock's true story film has managed to break a box office record. Oddly enough, it's a record previously held by an Adam Sandler flick.

Since 2010 has come and gone, the numbers for the year have been collected, compiled and compared. Now, those numbers have been released.

I had a feeling Avatar would be the best selling DVD since it did so well in theaters. But, didn't expect Toy Story GET HIGHEST GROSSING MOVIE, NICE.
Honestly, I would've expected it to be the other way around. With Avatar running a long time in 2010 as well, plus having the re-release. And just how huge the movie was. Though, I guess it just wasn't factored into the numbers they released due to it actually being a 2009 release. That being said though, if you do count what Avatar did at the box office in 2010, it ranks right up there with Toy Story 3 and possibly surpasses it just a bit.
I also expect that Toy Story 3 and Avatar race in the DVD section was pretty close as well considering how long Toy Story 3 has stayed in the Top 10 charts.

Sandra deserves everything she has coming to her. A gorgeous, multi-talented actress who you'd rarely find in the tabloids. Congrats on a new record!
It's a really great movie. One of the best I've seen in a while.
