STREISAND Screws Wingnuts (FOCKERS)
Wingnuts hate that woman so much. I'm happy her movie is raking it in and that she is having fun.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - North American box office champ "Meet the Fockers" helped push overall movie sales to a new record in 2004, and the sequel film earned almost as much after two weekends as the original, "Meet the Parents," drew in its entire run, according to studio estimates on Sunday.

"Meet the Fockers," a lowbrow family comedy starring Robert De Niro (news), Ben Stiller and Dustin Hoffman, easily retained the No. 1 position at the New Year holiday box office. It sold about $42.8 million worth of tickets in the three days beginning Friday, setting two records in the process. Its total after 12 days rose to $163.4 million. "Meet the Parents," released in October 2000, ended its run with $166 million. ....

"Meet the Fockers" set two records over the weekend. Its Friday haul of $12.2 million was the best for New Year's Eve, beating "Cast Away's" four-year-old record of $8.5 million. It continued its winning ways the next day with sales of $18 million, surpassing the New Year's Day record of $12.8 million set last year by "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." Universal estimated "Fockers" accounted for about one-third of weekend box office sales. ....

.... ..."Meet the Fockers" saw just a 7 percent decline at the box office from its opening week. The film has attracted an older audience interested in seeing De Niro, Hoffman and Streisand, as well as younger fans who like Stiller. ....

1. "Meet the Fockers," $42.8 million.

2. "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events," $14.7 million.

3. "The Aviator," $11.2 million.

4. "Fat Albert," $10.7 million.

5. "Ocean's Twelve," $9.2 million.

6. "National Treasure," $7 million.

7. "Spanglish," $6.3 million.

10. "Uh, they're Yoga mats?"
It was pretty funny. Had a lot of erroneous stereotypes about Sex after 50, but if you overlooked that, it was funny....

9. I Thought Republican's Were The Ones Going in Droves
I like all the actors in this movie, but sequels are not my cup of tea. I find it sad with all the more interesting movies out right now that this movie is doing so well.

15. She was fantastic, as was Hoffman
I hope she continues to work.

I also like Ben Stiller a lot. I haven't seen Meet the Parents yet but plan to now.
