Box office blog: Vince gets stung

Holiday movies can be automatic box successes once people catch the Christmas spirit. Not this year, though, as Vince Vaughn's mediocre family comedy "Fred Claus" earned $19.2 million to place third at the box office. On top was Jerry Seinfeld's animated flick "Bee Movie," earning $26 million in its second week and leapfrogging last week's champ "American Gangster," which fell to No. 2 with $24.3 million. Despite the presence of Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, the political drama "Lions for Lambs" made just $6.7 million to place fourth. Thriller "P2" was eighth with only $2.2 million--an opening-week tally much scarier than anything in the movie. "No Country for Old Men," the Coen brothers' phenomenal thriller, took in $1.1 million despite playing in 2,000 fewer theaters than "P2." Are you surprised "Fred Claus" didn't make more? Did anyone see "Lions for Lambs" or "P2"? Just how great is "No Country"?
