Ang Lee's Hulk smashed and grabbed its way to a June record $62.6 million opening weekend gross.

The Animatrix is likely to be the number one best-selling anime title in the U.S. in 2003.

Finding Nemo broke all the opening weekend records for animated films by amassing a total of $70.6 million in its opening 3-day frame.

With a four-day Memorial Day weekend estimated total of $86 million, the Jim Carrey comedy Bruce Almighty delivered a convincing blow to The Matrix Reloaded .

Critics will surely point out that the nine segments of the Animatrix are uneven in style, tone, and relevance to the Matrix mythos, but it is hard to deny that watching this 90-minute, nine-part anthology provides viewers with new insights into the Matrix films as well as plenty of sheer entertainment. More importantly, given the enormous popularity of The Matrix Reloaded the features should help expand the audience for anime.

The Matrix Reloaded earned an estimated four-day total of $135.8 million, sending it past Spider-Man's $125.9 million for the all-time best four-day cumulative box office receipts.
