Fox is happy if 'Chipmunks' finishes second to a 'Legend' Dec 14, 2007
Fox has showed a knack for counterprogramming, as when "The Devil Wears Prada" held its own against "Superman Returns" in summer 2006, although its misfires include the 2005 Martin Lawrence basketball comedy "Rebound," which hardly upstaged "War of the Worlds.".

Big Momma's House 2 Jan 31, 2006
Then again, his films since then have included the lame buddy comedies "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" and "National Security," the wannabe feel-good basketball flick "Rebound" and his dud of a concert film "Runteldat.".
