The same top 2 goes toe to toe this week, with Happy Feet slightly increasing the lead (this week $37.9 million and racing passed the $100 million mark) over the James Bond adventure Casino Royale (with $31 million and a $94.2 million total).
Newcomer Deja Vu, the third Tony Scott/Denzel Washington, does the title justice. With $20.8 million it’s on par with the two earlier movies (Crimson Tide and Man on Fire) to reach a $80-100 million cume when the movie ends its run.
Another new release at 4, Deck the Halls, a seasonal comedy starring Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito, seems it had its thunder stolen already last month by The Santa Clause 3, reaching only $12 million. Rounding out the top 5 is Borat with $10.4 million.
