"Bee Movie" had a solid first weekend. $38M is about the same order of
magnitude as the opening weekends of "Chicken Little" and "Happy Feet". But,
"Bee Movie" had only a lukewarm critical reception.

It remains to be seen whether the word of mouth will take "Bee Movie" up the
successful path of "Happy Feet" or the crash and burn of "Chicken Little".
