Though no one doubted the long-anticipated, critically-beloved film&#8217;s ability to dominate the box office, a number of media outlets initially pondered whether &#8220;Story&#8221; could reach the $100 million mark in its first weekend.  It now looks set to surpass that milestone with an eight-figure value to spare.<\/p>\n<p>Though it is not a lock for the record, &#8220;Toy Story 3&#8221; is at least in play for a shot at the best opening weekend for an animated film in history, which currently belongs to &#8220;Shrek the Third&#8221; ($121.6 million).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jonah Hex,&#8221; meanwhile, gave no indication that it would open whatsoever, although there was at least faith from some the studio that it would flirt with a reduced expectation of $10 million.  That is not going to happen, with the film reportedly only garnering $1.9 million for fifth place Friday.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;margin-right:5px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/entertainment\/megan-fox-the-jonah-hex\/image\/9143649?term=megan+fox\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/view4.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/image\/9143649\/megan-fox-the-jonah-hex\/megan-fox-the-jonah-hex.jpg?size=234&#038;imageId=9143649\" border=\"0\" width=\"234\" title=\"Megan Fox at the JONAH HEX Premiere in Hollywood\" height=\"384\" oncontextmenu=\"return false;\" ondrag=\"return false;\" onmousedown=\"return false;\" alt=\"Jonah Hex Premiere held at The Arclight Theatres in Hollywood, California on June 17th, 2010.
