Leftover 'Chicken' Still Tempting

(Hollywood Reporter) – Sony Pictures' "Zathura," Paramount Pictures' "Get Rich or Die Tryin' " and the Weinstein Co.'s debut release "Derailed" will try to knock Walt Disney Studios' "Chicken Little" off its perch this weekend, but it looks as if the CG-animated hit will join the illustrious group of such Pixar animated films as "The Incredibles" and "Monsters, Inc." that each opened in November and held on to the top spot for two con-secutive weeks. After bowing to $40 million last weekend, the first homegrown film from Disney's animators should drop less than 50% its second week in theaters, giving it a $22 million-$23 million weekend gross and the top spot for its sophomore session. The G-rated film also might take a bite out of Sony's highly regarded family film "Zathura," from director Jon Favreau.
