The summer's back. (Mostly.)


Toy Story 3 grossed a blockbuster $109 million at the weekend box office, estimates showed.



Then there was Josh Brolin's and Megan Fox's Jonah Hex, which proved a throwback to the season's lesser days of Macgruber.

The $40 million comic-book Western debuted with a barely there $5.09 million on nearly 3,000 screens.

Among comic-spawned flicks, Jonah Hex ranks down there with The Phantom and The Spirit for ineptitude, per Box Office Mojo stats.



The bomb comes at a bad time, career-wise, for Fox, who either jumped or was pushed from the Transformers franchise.
