Box Office: 'Tower Heist' Wins Friday, But 'Puss in Boots' Should Take Weekend

On Friday, Brett Ratner's Tower Heist -- with a cast led by Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and Matthew Broderick -- took in an estimated $8.1 million. However, Puss in Boots wasn't far behind with $7.8 million -- a narrow 18 percent drop from the previous Friday.

Senh: Looks like "Puss in Boots" will win another weekend because family films tend to do better on weekends. "Tower Heist" did decent business, although you kinda expect it to do better with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy.

Critics Consensus: Tower Heist is Solid Escapism

This week at the movies, we've got a crime caper (Tower Heist, starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy) and yuletide merriment (A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, starring John Cho and Kal Penn). What do the critics have to say? If you're in the market for a solid, escapist escapade, critics say Tower Heist should do the trick -- just don't expect much more from this all-star action comedy.
