The remake of Alvin and the Chipmunks, starring Jason Lee of the TV series My Name is Earl, might be a bomb with critics but it made #2 in the box office for this opening, topped only by I am Legend (starring Will Smith), which set an all-time December opening record with $76.5 million. The Chipmunks took in $44 million on Friday and Saturday combined, thanks probably to Saturday matinees with screaming kids.
