The race wasn't expected to be nearly so close, but Wanted somehow managed to blast past early estimates and do huge business in a rare hit for Angelina Jolie. Hold-overs staked out the rest of the top 10:......

But where the hell is Fisher Stevens? | Photo courtesy of Disney Sooner or later Pixar has to release a dud, right? They can't just keep releasing great film after great film can they?

The bad news for......
