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 .

More importantly, given the enormous popularity of The Matrix Reloaded the features should help expand the audience for anime.
