Disney/Pixar's animated film CARS easily took the top spot for the week with an estimated gross of $62,800,000. The gross is very solid, and in-line with expectations. Reviews for CARS, while very good, have been slightly worse than past Pixar films.

THE BREAK UP nabbed second place, pulling in $20,495,000. The latest X-MEN installment rounded out the top 3, and became the highest grossing film of the year while passing the $200 million mark.

THE OMEN finished 4th for the weekend, pulling in over $15 million and ensuring that future horror remakes will be on the way for years to come.

It should be noted once again that these numbers are estimates. CARS gross will likely drop when the actual numbers come out, though it should stay north of $60 million.
