Entertainment New movies hit box office hard By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer LOS ANGELES Incredibles" lived up to their name at the box office as the animated superhero adventure debuted with $70.7 million in its opening weekend, continuing an unbroken string of hits for Pixar Animation. If numbers hold when final fig ures are released Monday, "The Incredibles" would have the sec ond-best opening weekend among animated flicks, coming in just ahead of Pixar's 2003 blockbuster "Finding Nemo," which debuted with $70.3 mil lion. "Shrek 2" holds the animat ed debut record with $lOB mil lion. The horror hit "The Grudge," the No. 1 movie the previous two weekends, slipped to third with $13.5 million, lifting its total to $89.6 million. "Ray," starring Jamie Foxx as musician Ray Charles, remained No. 2 for a second straight weekend with $13.8 million. It has grossed $39.8 million in 10 days. Jude Law's "Alfie," a remake of the 1960 s hit about an incorrigi ble womanizer, debuted weakly with $6.5 million, coming in at No. 5. Despite the big opening for "The Incredibles," overall Hollywood revenues fell, continuing a box office slump that has lingered for r o ai d 0 L., N On the Square in Middletown. We offer great food, a full bar, and a friendly atmosphere, and we're just a short walk away. (We're the closest pub to Capital Campus!) 930-0466 Good times, good people, lousy parking most of the autumn. The top 12 movies took in $136.1 million, down 5 percent from the same weekend last year, when both "The Matrix Revolutions" and "Elf" opened. Playing in 3,933 theaters, "The Incredibles" averaged a whop ping $17,971 per theater, com pared to an average of $2,935 in 2,215 theaters for "Alfie." Featuring the voices of Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson and Jason Lee, "The Incredibles" tells the story of a family of superheroes pressed back into action years after they had been forced underground as ordinary suburbanites. The film drew a mainly family audience, though teenagers and adults without children account ed for about one-third of the crowd, according to distributor Disney. With stellar reviews, "The Incredibles" maintained the per fect critical and commercial record for Pixar, whose previous hits were "Finding Nemo," "Monsters, Inc.," "A Bug's Life" and the "Toy Story" movies. "It's more important to have a great story and then to use the technology to bring it to life, and they have never lost sight of that," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney, which has released the Pixar movies. "They deliver absolutely the best story first and meld it with the most unbelievable technology out there." Disney's deal with Pixar expires after next November's release of "Cars." Negotiations to extend the deal fell apart earlier this year, though there has been speculation the two companies still might partner up again in the future. "It's a shame they can't get this together, because it's been such a successful partnership," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "This formula has worked for years, consistently, with every movie out of this Disney-Pixar alliance." Pixar has been talking with other studios about distributing its films. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures will be released Monday 1. "The Incredibles," $70.7 mil- lion. 2. "Ray," $13.8 million. 3. "The Grudge," $13.5 million. 4. "Saw," $11.4 million. 5. "Alfie," $6.5 million. 6. "Shall We Dance?", $5.65 million. 7. "Shark Tale," $4.6 million. 8. "Friday Night Lights," $3 mil lion. 9. "Ladder 49," $2.6 million 10. "Team America: World Police," $1.9 million.
