Actually, all things considered, "Bee Movie" had a pretty decent opening. It just wasn't on top.
DreamWorks should learn from this that they need to STOP overexposing their animated movies until everyone who's not going to see them anyway is sick of them.

You'd make a big fuss if The Mist beats Enchanted? Come on, it wouldn't be that big of a deal, besides if Enchanted doesn't well then it's Disney's fault.
I would be upset, but not that much. If Enchanted doesn't do great, oh well; it certanly won't be because of Disney, because thus far they've been doing a great job of promoting it.

So you'd blame Stephen King if Enchanted doesn't well? Besides The Mist isn't the only competition it has, there's also Hitman.
I really don't think Hitman and The Mist will give Enchanted much competition. Those R-rated pictures will be battling each other, mostly for an audience that possibly wouldn't see Enchanted even if it was the only film opening that week. With that in mind, even if Hitman or Mist takes the #1 spot for that weekend, I doubt either of them will take much business from Enchanted.
Still, I think the Disney flick will win that weekend. After all, it will be the film to see for those folks craving a comedic, romantic and/or family-friendly movie.

I doubt any responsible parent would let their kids watch an R rated movie at the theater (my mom didn't til I was in the last couple years of high school). Enchanted wins in that scenario.

There are some families who could take their kids to see R-Rated films, I mean last year when I saw Saw III, I saw a mother with two kids watching the film.

I don't believe that many parents will be sick (who will take his child to such movie?) and males can also the Disney Princesses,too,and even if those families are so much streotyps-there's Prince Edward and Pip.
And about Saw III-today some parents take their children to any movie,without even thinking if it's a movie that fit small kids or not (Spider-Man 3,King Kong i heard even Kill Bill) so just becouse you some small kids in a movie it dosn't mean that families goes to those movies (you'll find small children in every movie).
I think that Enchanted will beat The Mist (what's an R-rated movie near a classic Disney movie?).
