There

How would you write and say this sentence
" There is a movie, toy story 3, on tonight"

I think it's wrong because "toy story 3" is a pronoun and a pronoun can't modify a noun "movie" unless it's funcationing as an adjective but i doubt it's an adjective in the sentence above.

So the sentence as to be written like this" There is a movie, called toy story 3 on tonight"

Can you also point out the punctuationing with the comma please.

There is a movie, Toy Story 3, on tonight. That is fine. SuwitCee "toy story 3" is a pronoun No, it is not; it is the title of the movie, a proper noun.

if it's an appositive wouldn't the sentence be like this? "Toy story 3, the movie is on tonight" or " The movie, toy story 3, is on tonight".

Those are also OK. All three exhibit apposition.
