A spandex-clad family of lovable superheroes continued their heroic reign at the U.S. box office over the weekend. The computer-animated hit "The Incredibles" grossed an estimated $51 million in its second weekend, bringing the film's total gross to nearly $150 million. Another animated feature came in second place, as Robert Zemeckis' "The Polar Express," a holiday tale featuring the voice of Tom Hanks, made $23.5 million in its first weekend. "After the Sunset," a heist thriller starring James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan, opened in third with $11.5 million. The big disappointment of the weekend was the romantic comedy sequel "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," which debuted in fourth with $8.9 million. Rounding out the top five was "Seed of Chucky," the fifth installment in the popular horror series about a doll possessed by the spirit of a serial killer. It made $8.77 million. Rounding out the top ten were: "Ray" ($8.4 million); "The Grudge" ($7.1 million); "Saw" ($6.4 million); "Shall We Dance" ($4.08 million); and "Alfie" ($2.77 million).
