LITTLE FOCKERS Takes #1 Spot at New Year's Box Office

The threequel to the Meet the Fockers franchise, 'Little Fockers,' which was released on December 22, has taken the number one spot at the box office for New Year's weekend. The film earned $26.3 million during the holiday weekend, bringing its total box office earnings to $103 million.

New to the Focker franchise this time around is stage and screen vet Harvey Keitel (DEATH OF A SALESMAN, Jerry Springer THE OPERA at Carnegie Hall). The movie will also feature the return of everyone's Focker favorites, including Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, and Owen Wilson. Additions to this newest installment also include Laura Dern and Jessica Alba. The movie will be directed by Paul Weitz for Universal and Tribeca Productions.

The film is produced by Jane Rosenthal and Jay Roach and is overseen by Universal's Tracy Falco and Maradith Frenkel. It features a screenplay by John Hamburg (rewritten from Larry Stuckey's original script). The 'Fockers' franchise, which began in 2000 with 'Meet the Parents,' stars Ben Stiller as Greg Focker, a liberal, do-no-right husband and Robert De Niro as his conservative, unforgiving father-in-law.
