(AP) Roy Disney said he had heard the myths at Walt Disney Co. for a long time _ that Salvador Dali's artworks from a long-forgotten project were somewhere in the studio's archives. The surrealist master had worked with Disney's uncle, Walt Disney, from 1945-46, producing seven paintings and hundreds of ink drawings for an animated film that never got made, Disney said. The artwork - which Disney valued at $5 million to $10 million - sat in the studio unseen by the public for 58 years. That is. until now. Disney said the company loaned about a dozen Dali pieces to a traveling exhibit in Europe, one of several celebrating the 100th anniversary of Dali's birth on May 11, 1904. Dali died in 1989.

The $70 million, film-noirstyled fantasy starring Jude Law, Gwynelh Paltrow and Angelina Jolie cast its live actors against digitally animated giant robots on a backdrop of 1930s New York. The film was originally slated to debut during the summer blockbuster season, but distributor Paramount pushed back the opening amid post-production delays. "You gotta figure, with a project like this, you don't know what the response is going to be from the audience," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box office tracker Exhibitor Relations Co. "I think they maximized the potential of the movie by taking it out of the summer and putting it here because it was the only way it was going to be No. 1." Wayne Lcwellen, Paramount's head of distribution, acknowledged the film might have drawn a larger opening audience as a summer release. "Absolutely. You have a larger audience in summer than in the fall," Lewellen said. "1 thought we had a great date in June prior to the opening of ("Spider-Man 2"). Unfortunately, they couldn't deliver the picture." The film drew a largely older audience, according to studio tracking, which estimated 70 percent of viewers were over 25. About 55 percent of the audience was male. Paramount said. "Just the look of the picture. the kind of retro look, probably had an appeal to an older audience," Lcwellen said, adding that he hopes the film will attract younger audiences in the coming weeks. Two other debut films broke into the box office top 10. "Mr. 3000." a baseball comedy starring Bcrnie Mac, grabbed the No. 2 spot with a $9.2 million "Wimbledon," a romantic comedy starring Kirsten Dunst as a rising tennis player who falls for a fading tennis star played by British actor Paul Betlany. grabbed the No. 4 spot wilh $7.8 million. Mac plays a retired, egotistical baseball star trying to make a comeback. it's the first leading film role for Mac. who stars in his own television show and has played several supporting characters in films like "Ocean's I I " and "Head of Stale." "For Bcrnie Mac it's solid, in the context of the time of year and how the box office has been in a slump." Dergarabedian said. Zombie' attack fesl "Resident Evil: Apocalypse." starring Milla Jovovich as a bath-towel-wcaring heroine, earned $9 million, a 61 percent tumble from its No. 1 debut lasl weekend. "It's a pretty normal drop for the genre," said Rory Bruer. president of distribution for Sony Pictures. "Wimbledon" appealed mostly to female viewers under 30, according to tracking by Universal Pictures. "It's not a disappointment for us," said Paul Pflug. spokesman for the studio. "It's a movie that opened well, and we believe it will have some payability in the United States." Overall traffic at movie theaters was down over the weekend. Vicwership for the top 10 movies saw a decline of more than 25 percent compared to a year ago. when "Underworld" led the box oflice.
