2 1 Happy Feet $12,904,413 -26.5%% 3,650 -154 $3,535 $137,932,841

86 82 Fuck: a Documentary $2,021 -47.2%% 3 -2 $673 $19,791

113 Captain Sabertooth $502 1 $502 $104,443
"Happy Feet" caught a break. Had "Charlotte's Web" opened last weekend it
would've plummetted. But that movie's opening this weekend while "Apocalypto"
and "Blood Diamond" opened last weekend. So it was James Bond who took the big
dive while "Happy Feet" had no competition ( Like anyone was going to see
"Unaccompanied Minors". :-) and so had a very small decline in boxoffice. The
penguins might no longer be #1, but they still hold on to a strong second.

Think the people who didn't know the book thought it was a "Babe"
ripoff, and those who did weren't impressed by falling horses, farting
cows, and a CGI Steve Buscemi doing contemporary wisecracks.
(Plus, if Paramount had waited till AFTER Christmas, like they'd
originally planned to, they wouldn't be suffering the Treasure Planet
Syndrome of opening early...)
I wrote a tirade about this in alt.fan.furry.:
