Kevin James Shockingly Tops Weekend Box Office

Kevin James can open a movie. The late Notorious B.I.G. can pack theaters. And, Clint Eastwood can still kick butt.

Those were the findings from a monster holiday weekend at the box office that was led, surprisingly, by James' Paul Blart: Mall Cop, a $26 million, mustache-sporting goof that grossed a serious $38 million Friday-Monday, per the latest studio estimates released today by Exhibitor Relations.

Eastwood's Gran Torino ($26 million), last weekend's No. 1 film, slipped to second, but stayed strong.

Notorious ($24 million), the Sean Combs-produced biopic about his friend, the slain rap star, debuted in fourth, but made more money per theater than any film reporting grosses.
