hope1972 | Ape Wins -- But No Chest-Thumping Yet

The lion and the ape ran neck and neck at the box office over the weekend, and when it was over it appeared that the ape had won -- as Universal's King Kong posted an estimated $31.4 million in ticket sales over the four-day holiday and $21.3 million for the weekend. Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe appeared to have placed second with $30.1 million for the holiday and $20.4 million for the weekend. However, the estimates were so close that analysts generally noted that the positions of the two films could be reversed when final figures are released later today (Tuesday). Meanwhile, two comedies that debuted on Wednesday did so-so business, with Sony's Fun With Dick and Jane earning about $23.5 million for the four days and Fox's Cheaper by the Dozen 2, $14.8 million.
