The animated underwater adventure "Finding Nemo" reclaimed the No. 1 slot at the North American box office on Sunday, while the Harrison Ford police comedy "Hollywood Homicide" failed to arrest moviegoers in its first weekend.
"Finding Nemo" sold an estimated $29.2 million worth of tickets across the United States and Canada during the three days beginning Friday, swapping places with the street-racing sequel "2 Fast 2 Furious," which garnered $19.1 million in its second weekend.
After three weekends, "Nemo" has soared to $192.3 million, while "Furious" has banked $84 million. "Nemo" was released by Walt Disney Pictures, a unit of Walt Disney Co., and produced by Pixar Animation Studios Inc . "Furious" was released by Universal Pictures, a unit of Vivendi Universal SA .
"Hollywood Homicide," in which Ford plays an Los Angeles Police Department veteran who moonlights as a realtor, opened at No. 5 with $11.7 million.
"Certainly we're disappointed," said Rory Bruer, president of domestic distribution at Columbia Pictures, a unit of Sony Corp . He had hoped the $75 million-budgeted film would open in the $18 million to $20 million range.
