As expected,
King Kong lorded over the box office in its opening weekend, besting all others with a $51.15 million take — the fourth-best December premiere ever. Rounding out the Top 5 were
The Chronicles of Narnia (with $31.2 mil),
The Family Stone ($12.7 mil),
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ($5.9 mil) and
Syriana ($5.5 mil).
