'Bee Movie' Takes Weekend Top Spot

1. Bee Movie - As it turns out, last week's box office win by American Gangster was not because it was the superior movie, but because people somehow missed the non-stop media barrage and didn't know there was a movie about cartoon bees. ($26 million)

2. American Gangster - Still doing well at $24.3 million, it could have done better were it not for rumors of a coming International Gangster.

3. Fred Claus - Failing to knock either of last week's top two from their spots with only $19 million, it seems people are waiting until closer to Christmas for this one. Or until chemicals and violent shaking have addled their brains enough--whichever comes first.

4. Lions for Lambs - $6.7 million is still a lot of people wanting to hear Robert Redford making boring, obvious political points.

5. Dan in Real Life - With his cut of this latest $5.9 million, Dane Cook should buy himself some new leather wristband things. You deserve it, Dane!
