the church crowds are helping Narnia....kinda like they did for The Passion. Unless Kong gets a big jump today, it will likely finish #2. But it'll end up with a nice total at the end of its run. Its great success overseas can't hurt either.

Do you think it's possible the goodly christians will stay at home with their families or go to church, while the heathens go to the movie and worship their false ape idol?

I don't understand why an average joe being "stupid" has anything to do with a ho-hum reaction to King Kong. It just sounds like more excuses for the less then anticipated US box office gross.

Kong had a nice Sunday and Monday total. Right now, it's about $8 million behind Batman Begins at this point (13 days). I think it can still reach $200 million, but anything more than that will be tough. That will certainly help its Oscar chances.
