'Finding Nemo' regains top spot with $29.2 million weekend

LOS ANGELES -- Cartoon fish still have audiences hooked as the undersea adventure "Finding Nemo" regained the top spot at the weekend box office with $29.2 million.

The previous weekend's top movie, "2 Fast 2 Furious," fell to No. 2 in its second weekend with $19.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Another holdover movie, "Bruce Almighty," was third with $14.2 million.

New flicks had soft openings. The animated "Rugrats Go Wild," which blends the Nickelodeon "Rugrats" and "Wild Thornberrys" cartoon franchises, took in $12.5 million to debut at No. 4.

Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett's buddy-cop comedy "Hollywood Homicide" opened in fifth place with $11.7 million. The idiot-buddy prequel "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd" debuted at No. 6 with $11.1 million.

Theater business is expected to heat up again this weekend with the comic-book adaptation "Hulk." "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" arrives a week later, followed by "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" and "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" over Fourth of July weekend.

The Disney-Pixar collaboration "Finding Nemo," which had a No. 1 debut and a record opening for an animated movie two weekends ago before falling to second place last week, has raised its total domestic gross to $192.3 million in 17 days of release.
