The animated comedy "Cars" raced to first place at the
weekend box office with a $62.8 million debut, maintaining the
Disney-Pixar cartoon brand's undefeated record with a seventh
straight hit. If the numbers hold when final figures come out
Monday, "Cars" would have the third-best opening in the Disney-Pixar
cartoon series, just ahead of "Monsters, Inc." but behind "The
Incredibles" and "Finding Nemo," which both debuted at about $70
million. The movie features the voices of Owen Wilson and Paul
Newman in a story of a hotshot race car that gets a lesson on the
value of slowing down when he's sidetracked in a sleepy
burgh. "Cars" was the first movie directed by Pixar creative
mastermind John Lasseter since 1999's "Toy Story 2." Lasseter also
directed the original "Toy Story" and "A Bug's Life." The six prior
Disney-Pixar films all opened at No. 1 and have grossed a total of
$3.2 billion worldwide.
