US Box Office
The Incredibles use their superhero powers to cling on to the first place with a magnificent $51 million. The WB however, must’ve gotten a real cold chill down their spines, as the $270 million worth of producing and marketing of The Polar Express (which features 5 times the “performance capturing” of Tom Hanks) led to a second place with only a $23.5 million premiere. Now that’s what I call a cold reception.
At 3, Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek star in After the Sunset, stealing $11.5 million. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason opened at number 4 with $8.9 million. Seed of Chucky, the fifth of its series already, is worth$8.8 million rounding off the top 5.
