Now here is something I did not expect at all in the domestic box office. Peter Jackson’s long awaited King Kong is getting its ass handed to it by The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I love to make the occassional box office prediction, and I can usually detect a guaranteed smash from a mile away. However, this turn out is a curveball. People were speculating that Kong would make so much dough that it may even be the highest grossing film of all time. Boy were they way off.

Anyway, while Narnia is somehow making more money here (I’ve heard it is due in part to large Christian organizations), Kong has managed to make $400 million worldwide. At least this won’t be a failure for Jackson.

In the upcoming January dumping grounds, how will this box office play out? Will Kong make a comeback? Will Narnia continue its Christ-like rule? Will the gay cowboys of Brokeback Mountain spring out of nowhere on their Jan. 13 wide release with big money? Stay Tuned!
