'Wall-E' Rolls Into Top Spot With $62.5 Million

 
Angelina Jolie's 'Wanted' No. 2 with $51 million. Pixar and Disney's animated robot love story 'WALL-E' finished first in the weekend box office race with an estimated $62.5 million, the third highest opening for a Pixar film.   The family flick, utilizing the voices of Ben Burtt , Elissa Knight , Fred Willard , John Ratzenberger and Sigourney Weaver , was in a league with 'The Incredibles,' which debuted at $70.4 million in 2004, and Pixar's 'Finding Nemo,' which opened with $70.2 million in 2003. The movie's main character WALL-E -- an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class -- is a mobile trash compactor in the year 2700 who discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. The two develop a romance and embark on an adventurous journey across the universe with a cast of characters including a pet cockroach and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.   [link]
