Any idea how well Bee Movie is doing vs the promotional run that's been behind it?

Is it safe to consider Mr. Magorium a bomb? I figured this would've been the king of the Christmas season box office, but it just drops by the week.

Five movies join the sub-$1,000 club. That might be a record, but I have a feeling since I didn't check this till Saturday, while I usually do on Tuesday, that more moves were added.

Plot from wikipedia:

 

Bob Maconel, is a disillusioned office worker with ideas of murdering his co-workers. However, on one particular bad day, Bob crosses the line from potential killer to inadvertent hero — a fellow co-worker "goes postal" and shoots up the office before Bob does. Bob stops the shooter's plans by killing him with the gun he planned to use on the others, and in the process saves Vanessa's (Elisha Cuthbert) life. The former invisible nobody is suddenly thrown into the spotlight of public notice, he is considered a hero by those he wished to murder, promoted by a grateful boss to "VP of Creative Thinking" with all the perks of higher management, and saves the object of his desire only to have her ask him to end her life, although her life was saved, her injuries have left her confined to a wheelchair.
