Dancing penguins continued to tap dance their way to the top of the box office. “Happy Feet” was the winner of the Thanksgiving festivities, paying back its $100 million production budget in just two weeks, according to Box Office Mojo. The penguin’s chief competitor, the penguin-suited James Bond, still trailed just moments behind “Happy Feet” with a $31 million gross putting it at $94 million. While the super-spy has a little bit longer way to go to breaking its $150 million production budget, there’s little doubt Daniel Craig’s first outing was a critical success.

Tony Scott’s “Deja Vu” was a distant memory to the top two, however, at just over $20 million. And with the exception of the snow in “Happy Feet”, audiences seem unwilling to choke down the holiday season just yet – at least in the comedy department, with “Deck the Halls” opening with $12 million. Even further back, Darren Aronofsky’s long-awaited opened with $5.4 million next to Jack Black’s “Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny”, with $3.1 million.

The bottom rounded out with the mockumentary “For Your Consideration”, which just $2 million.

Next week sees the “The Nativity Story” opening alongside the Reynold-less “Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj” (okay, he makes a cameo) and the horror-thriller “Turistas”.
