KONG NIPS NARNIA
Christmas-night business nudged
King Kong to a $31.4 million payday — a slim $300,000 margin of victory over No. 2 finisher
The Chronicles of Narnia — in the holiday-weekend box-office contest. Rounding out the top five were
Fun with Dick and Jane (which I came
thisclose to seeing, before remembering that
Jim Carrey films often disappoint),
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (which, I figured, probably carried the prerequisite of seeing the original, lest one be hopelessly lost) and
The Family Stone (which no matter how many times I see the title, makes me think of
Sharon).
