US Box Office
Little Chicken is the title, but it’s pretty huge at the box office. Opening at a higher than expected $40.1 million, it shows Disney can do 3D animation well on its own (after parting ways with Pixar).
Another higher than expected surprise at number 2 is Jarhead, a based on true facts war movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx, with $27.7 million.
This makes the Saw II a little bit blunt at number 3, with still an edgy $17.2 million income. The Legend of Zorro drops harder, and has to do with the fourth spot with a paltry $10 million. Rounding out the top 5 is Prime, with a lowly $5.3 million, but since it’s just a 18% drop from last week, it could be seen as something positive.
