| | |  The 'Incredibles' can't beat 'Potter'
Thanks to HPANA for this article Quote:
Pixar's latest film The Incredibles raked in over $70 million in U.S. theaters over the weekend, barely besting the company's 2003 debut of Finding Nemo, according to Reuters Quote:
The three-day weekend total was the best ever for a film released by Disney, and Saturday's $29.4 million was the highest single-day tally for Disney. Incredibles is the sixth release from Pixar Animation Studios Inc. and The Walt Disney Co. and all have been hits. Pixar makes them; Disney distributes them. Quote:
One record it couldn't break, however, was the best November 3-day weekend opening ever, which belongs squarely to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone with over $90 million in 2001.

I saw The Incredibles last night at a press screening here in Oslo (Norway). The movie isn't released here until this weekend, Friday the 12th of Novemeber.
It was SO AWESOME!!!!!
Seriously, this is the best movie I have seen this year - surpassing my other two favorites Spider-man 2 and The Passion (yes, they are two completely different films).
The action and comedy was non-stop and it had the best animation I have ever seen in an all-cgi movie.
I would warn parents that it is a bit "heavier" than the previous Pixar films, so I'd probably rasie the age-limit to around 10 years instead of 5 or 6 which Nemo was good for. But, if in doubt, go see it first and then take your kids.
I'm going with my whole family (wife and four kids) this weekend. I can't wait to see it again!!  |

Oh man, I want to see The Incredibles so bad. It looks excellent! Pus, I love all Pixar movies. I'm actually rather suprised it didn't beat the record set by Harry Potter...

The Incredibles looks darling. I really want to see it. I love Jason Lee and its awesome that he does the voice of the villain. He has such an excellent voice. | |

Ya well Hp1 was SOO SO SO SO awaited I remember there was like a rush for the cinema when it was released and some people here kept seeing it over and over and over again.
I can't wait for Hp4 mostly, i think it will beat Hp1's records, since it's like the most expensive movie EVER!!

Though the Harry Potter movies are good, I don't find them to be the greatest films. My favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Those movies, I believe beat HP at the box office. But I can't wait to see GOF, its my favorite book. | |

I can't wait for "The Incredibles" to be released in here, I admire (yes that's the word) everyone at Pixar, they're amazing!!! I couldn't believe that HP1 made that much money, and I can't believe that it still has the best 3-day weekend opening ever.
Go Pixar!!!!

I don't know if I want to go see the incredables. It looks like a super hero movie gone wrong. Maybe thats the way it's supposed to be I don't know. I was watching the news and it said that it beat sales records of Shrek 2. Didn't Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban do better than Shrek 2?
