DreamWorks Animations’ new film, Bee Movie, starring Jerry Seinfeld, opened in second place, raking in $39,100,000. That wasn’t enough to take down Denzel Washington’s American Gangster.

I expect both Bee Movie and American Gangster to do well next week as well as the audiences flip. The adults who went to see American Gangster will take their kids to see Bee Movie next weekend while the parents who saw Bee Movie this weekend will check out American Gangster next weekend.

Here’s a list of the top 10 movies this past weekend:

1 American Gangster
2 Bee Movie
3 Saw IV
4 Dan in Real Life
5 30 Days of Night
6 The Game Plan
7 Martian Child
8 Michael Clayton
9 Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?
10 Gone Baby Gone
