Yes, I was wrong, very wrong. The penguins beat the spy. It was a nail-biter and since I didn't even really expect that, I was doubly wrong. In limited release, "The Queen" is still chugging along beautifully, grossing $2.3 mil ($17.9 mil total) on just over 600 screens. But "Fast Food Nation" was a flop -- it shoulda been a documentary. And "Babel" is fading fast; but frankly they probably squeezed out as much money from that unsatisfying movie as they could have so that quick expansion wasn't a bad call. "Volver" is also holding well, while "For Your Consideration" and "Bobby" both showed initial promise. Here's the Top 10, per Box Office Prophets.
1. Happy Feet -- $42.3 million total
2. Casino Royale -- $40.6 mil total
3. Borat -- $14.4 mil ($90.5 mil total)
4. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause -- $8.2 mil ($51.6 mil total)
5. Flushed Away -- $6.8 mil ($48.8 mil total)
6. Stranger Than Fiction -- $6.6 mil ($22.9 mil total)
7. Babel -- $2.9 mil ($12 mil total)
8. Saw III -- $2.8 mil ($74.9 mil total)
9. The Departed -- $2.6 mil ($113.9 mil total)
10. 8 Films To Die For (horror fest) -- $2.5 mil total
