Universal, Little Fockers | featured news

"True Grit" seized the reins at the weekend box office with $15 million, taking the No. 1 spot and becoming the first Western to top the $100 million mark since the 1990s.

Relativity Media’s Season of the Witch opened to an estimated $3.7 million from 2,816 theaters at the Friday box office to place No. 3 behind Paramount’s True Grit -- which all but jumped the $100 million mark -- and Universal’s Little Fockers.

Universal figures "Little Fockers" is more Yuletide fare than summer sizzler. The studio will sit on the recently wrapped comedy sequel until Dec. 22 and instead will unspool two previously unslotted films in swimsuit season.
