The Pixar film's total so far is $114.5 million, but it fell 48% from its $60.1 million opening. Pixar's The Incredibles fell only 28% its second weekend in 2004.

Paramount's Nacho Libre, a PG-rated comedy starring Jack Black and directed by Napoleon Dynamite's Jared Hess, was No. 2 with $27.5 million. The race-themed The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift finished a surprisingly strong third with $24.1 million.

The Sandra Bullock/Keanu Reeves romance The Lake House took in $13.7 million, about $1 million higher than expected, for fourth. The Break-Up was fifth ($9.5 million). Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties opened with a disappointing $7.2 million, about a third what the first Garfield did, for sixth place.

Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, a look at the perils of global warming, took in $1.75 million, but enthusiasm appears to be waning. Now in 404 theaters, up from 122 the week before, its box-office take rose just 16%. "It's not March of the Penguins," says Box Office Mojo's Brandon Gray, speaking of last summer's smash documentary that took in $77.4 million. Truth has taken in $6.4 million in four weeks and is the 11th-top-grossing documentary ever.
