Toy Story makes record debut at box office - Sci Fi

LONDON (Reuters) - Woody and Buzz Lightyear shot to the top of the British box office over the weekend, making "Toy Story 3" the highest-grossing opener of the year so far.
The third instalment of Pixar's animated series took 21.2 million pounds in the first three days of its release, knocking cerebral sci-fi thriller "Inception" from top spot to second, according to Screen International on Tuesday.
"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" held on to third place, whilst "Shrek Forever After" dropped from second to fourth.
Romantic comedy "The Rebound," starring Catherine Zeta-Jones as a divorcee who seduces a man 15 years her junior, made its debut at five.
Sixth, down two, was sci-fi film "Predators."
New at seven was "Khatta Meetha," a Bollywood satire on corruption.
At eight was Russell Brand in "Get Him to the Greek," down three places from last week.
"Splice," in which Adrien Brody and co-star Sarah Polley splice together human and animal DNA to create a monstrous hybrid came in at nine, just above "Leaving," down one at ten.
