Wow... no matter how you cut it, the fact that a two-week old Narnia overtook the fresh Kong is not good news for Universal. Also rather disappointing numbers for Cheaper 2, even for a weekday. The first one didn't gross that low until its 12th day.

This weekend should be interesting....we could see one of three movies - Narnia, Kong, Dick & Jane - each one a week older than the older taking the number one spot. It'd be quite a thing if they came in from oldest to newest.

I can't believe Narnia overtook Kong. Then again, I thought it was the better movie of the two... still though, this has GOT to be smacking Universal straight in the grundies.
Glad to see Harry Potter is still pulling somewhat strongly. Where the hell are my cigarettes? FUCK!

Universal should have had test screenings and at those test screenings the audiance would have said "cut an hour off this movie"! And there's plenty to cut from.

For those scoring at home, King Kong has now grossed $202 million worldwide in 8 days. According to box office mojo, Universal is on vacation and Thursday's numbers weren't available. So that total is a tad higher.

Looks Brokeback is going to be playing at 217 screens (more than the 120 or so that was it going to be). If it averages 25,000 per screen, it is going to make 5.4 million dollars bringing its total to 10 million and pretty much the budget of the movie that has only been released limited for 3 weeks. Awesome.

When the film reaches 45mill or so you can start shouting it from the rooftops.

I still like King Kong a lot, it's just not quite as good as it could have been. A minor tweak in the script here and there, and tighter editing would have made this one a great movie rather than just a very good one.

(edited because I end up counting 4 threads of people excusing why King Kong isn't do so well, its like they made the movie or something).
