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

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.
