Narnia vs King Kong ..... FIGHT!
Friday, December 16th, 2005Hmm....
On opening day, the new Chronicles of Narnia movie gathered $23,006,856. Yet, also on opening day, the new King Kong movie (which easily had more media support than Narnia, said to be one of, (if not the) best movies of the year) only gathered $9,755,745.
No numbers for this weekend, yet, but current numbers bode well for the Christian-allegory fantasy series. I suppose it's too much to ask that Narnia always stay ahead of King Kong, though. But it would make a statement to the evil publishers that there really is money to be made by making good, healthy, family-friendly movies. (...and, no, I don't mean the creepy stuff Disney's animation studios are trying to pass off as family-friendly.)
Not that King Kong wasn't good, mind you. It was brilliant! But if I had to pick between one or the other, it'd be Narnia.
It's going to be difficult spelling out "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" all over the place, ya'know. I think I'm going to start abbreviating it as CoN:LWW, heh. I think that could work.
