"Meet the Fockers" continued to laugh its way to the bank and crossed the $200M mark in its third week of release as the box office champ, with an estimated weekend gross of $28.5M. Starring Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, and Barbara Streisand, "Fockers" is the sequel to the 2000 comedy hit, "Meet the Parents," also starring Stiller and De Niro. Despite poor reviews, "White Noise" scared up a surprising $24M and beat out "Big Fish" as January's biggest second week opener. Unchanged from last weekend, "The Aviator" made $7.6M to come in a distant third, while Jim Carrey's dark comedy "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" experienced an unfortunate drop in its perch from second to fourth at $7.4M in its fourth week of release. "Fat Albert" rounded out the top five with $6M.
