Yes, but "Nemo" had a few things going for it that "Incredibles" didn't.
For one thing, "Nemo" had a summer release date, which meant that kids were off from school and could go pretty much any day they wanted to.
Also, the only real competition the film had was from DreamWorks' undermarketed (and underrated) "Sinbad", which was a box office disaster.
"The Incredibles", on the other hand, came out in early November, had to compete with "Polar Express", "Spongebob Squarepants" and "National Treasure, and wasn't marketed nearly as much.
As for how well "Over the Hedge" will do, it should be huge for about three weeks, and could finish its run with about $120M-$150M.
Who knows how much "Cars" will make? A lot, that's for sure.
