Fox’s ” Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip ” also showed some endurance, adding .7 million to its .4 million domestic gross.
The yellow card – his fifth of the season – will cause him to miss Chelsea’s next game against Manchester United. His bad relations with the Portuguese had escalated in the last couple of games, so the Spaniard had the motive to show his deadly instinct in front of the goal.
