Minority Report, the Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg sci-fi thriller, took in $36.9 million in its first weekend, enabling it to squeak past the latest Disney animated feature, Lilo & Stitch, which debuted with $35.8 million.
The weekend's other new wide release, Juwanna Mann, debuted at No. 7 with $6 million.
The race for the top spot was extremely tight and, when final figures are released today, Lilo & Stitch may very well finish ahead of Minority Report.
In other box office news, Scooby-Doo came in a strong third with $24.4 million while The Bourne Identity finished in fourth on $14.8 million. The Sum of All Fears rounds out the top five with $7.9 million.
