The Notorious B.I.G. biopic Notorious landed in U.S. theaters over the weekend opening at No. 4 with $21.5 million, according to box office estimates.

The film about the late, legendary rapper Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. Biggie Smalls, placed fourth after Kevin James’ Paul Blart: Mall Cop ($33.8 million), Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino ($22.2 million), and My Bloody Valentine 3-D ($21.9 million).

It’s the biggest opening ever for the movie’s distributor Fox Searchlight, which previously released critical favorites such as Juno and Little Miss Sunshine.

Notorious was playing in only 1,638 theaters nationwide compared to the 3,144 theaters No. 1 Paul Blart: Mall Cop was in.

The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend was up 31% from last year, and that was only for Friday through Sunday. The films will benefit from the holiday on Monday.

It’s almost that time of year again when all the feel-good holiday movies start hitting theaters. One of those films is The Perfect Holiday starring Queen Latifah, Gabrielle Union, Terrence Howard, Charlie Murphy, and Katt Williams.

Nancy (played by Gabrielle Union) is a divorced mother of three who is so busy raising her children that she’s forgotten to take care of herself. With Christmas approaching, she decides to take her kids to the mall to meet Santa Claus, not knowing that her youngest daughter is determined to use her time with Santa to make her mom happy again. The daughter hooks her up with Santa, who is an office supply salesman and struggling songwriter. He ends up giving Nancy just what she wants for Christmas and so much more.

The film opens in theaters December 12th.
