Apparently, NBC's promotion of Bee Movie on practically all of their shows--even during Ellen's Halloween episode where she just so happened to have an audience member dressed as the bee in Bee Movie--did some good, since it's at #1 with $72 mil. Kids, however, are apparently still busy writing their Christmas lists, because hardly any of them went to see Fred Claus, placing it at #3 with $19 mil. I guess Vince Vaughn can't weasel his way back into our hearts playing the cad that he naturally is. (Lol. I could really care less.) Or maybe moviegoers haven't quite relinquished the Halloween season, since P2, a horror thriller, actually managed to break the top 10--granted it's at #8 with $2 mil, but that's impressive for a no-name director. Robert Redford's big political film and Tom Cruise's most recent attempt at an Oscar, Lions for Lambs, came in at #4 with a paltry $6.7 mil. No Country for Old Men, on the other hand, managed to gross a clean million in just 28 theaters. American Gangster, however, is still the #1 drama in the box office, grossing $80 mil.This weekend we'll see if CGI-laden graphic novel adaptations will be taking over the big screens soon when Beowulf makes its geeky debut, faced with the task of having to outdo 300. The kids will be seduced by the playful personalities in Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Women and hopeless romantics will flock to theaters to catch the literary adaptation of Love in the Time of Cholera. While Nicole Kidman and Jack Black scrounge up some indie street cred in Margot at the Wedding, directors Richard Kelly and Brian de Palma try to sell their masterpieces Southland Tales and Redacted.
