I have to say, it's a shame The Incredibles won't be Incredible at the box office. (down 27.3% from last friday.) Heh, you know you're in a class of your own when $225m is considered to be a bit under-achieving.
Bridget Jone's low theater count (530) is definitly helping the per-theater average, but I think it was pretty much set to make a good buck regardless.
I'm a bit befuddled as to what King's Ransom - with its release pending for March 2005 (-111 days til release) is doing on there. Probably just a cross post meant for Kinsey.

Incredibles is holding up beautifully, actually. That $11 million Thursday, even for a Veterans Day, was mammoth.
If it retains a 27% drop-off rate, its on track to make over $330 million.
At 33% - $274 million.
Only if the drop-off rate drops to 40% will the gross stall at $225 million. So far that is not the case. With great Word-of-mouth and an upcoming holiday season, this should make bank.

The Incredibles held up phenomenally this weekend and Polar Express opened to a disappointing number - but will likely have legs as the Christmas season approaches.
All in all, I'm glad the Incredibles is doing, well, incredibly.
Seed of Chucky did about what I would have expected, Bridget Jones is off to a good start (goes wide next week).
Ray is still going fairly strong - and doing great for a film nobody wanted. The Grudge continues to impress (lackluster as it may be).
On a side note, I'm amused by how quickly The Incredibles is approaching Shark Tale's numbers. There's definitly a demand of family entertainment, but it shows people actually do like quality on occasions
