'Wall-E' and 'Wanted' open 1-2

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Two new movies, "Wall-E" and "Wanted," debuted a strong 1-2 in U.S. theaters this weekend, Box Office Mojo reported.

"Wall-E," an animated science-fiction flick featuring the voices off Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight and Sigourney Weaver, grossed an estimated $62.5 million in its first weekend, while "Wanted," an action thriller starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie, sold an estimated $51.12 million in tickets.

Last week's top draw, "Get Smart," slipped to No. 3 at $20 million, while "Kung Fu Panda" moved down one spot to No. 4 with $11.75 million in sales and "The Incredible Hulk" was No. 5 at $9.23 million after placing second last week.

Rounding out the Top 10 were "The Love Guru," $5.44 million; "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," $5.03 million; "The Happening," $3.85 million; "Sex and the City," $3.77 million; and "You Don't Mess with the Zohan," $3.2 million.

Gone from the top tier were "Iron Man" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince of Caspian."
