"Little Fockers," the critically panned sequel in the "Meet the Parents" series, landed No. 1 at the Christmas weekend box office despite soft sales.
The latest Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro matchup had sales of just $34 million during the three-day holiday weekend.
Its five-day take was $48.3 million, well below the $60 million the studio had hoped for.
Six years ago, the first sequel "Meet the Fockers" earned $46 million its first weekend and $70.5 million in its first five days.
Just 11% of the top critics on Rotten Tomatoes liked "Little Fockers," according to the review aggregation website.
Jeff Bridges starred in the second- and third-place movies, but in very different roles.
"True Grit," the Coen brothers' update of the John Wayne western, opened at No. 2 with weekend sales of $25.6 million.
Last weekend's champ, "Tron: Legacy," fell to No. 3 with sales of $20.1 million. Bridges reprises his role from the obscure 1982 film "Tron" as a video game developer trapped in a virtual environment called the Grid.
