National Treasure and SpongeBob Overtake The Incredibles

New Lines Pierce Brosnan thriller, AFTER THE SUNSET, finished in sixth place with $5M and $19M to date. Universals RAY occupied seventh position with $4.5M and a cume of $59.1M. Sonys THE GRUNGE followed in eighth place with $3.8M and a nifty $104.4M. Focus Features SEED OF CHUCKY plummeted to ninth with $3.2M and $13.4M.
