The weekend actuals are in and, as we suspected yesterday, King Kong beat Narnia over the weekend by a little more than $18 million. (Although it’s worth noting that, in a rare moment of candor, Universal’s Sunday morning estimate was almost dead-on with Kong‘s actual total. How can they guess that close without the Sunday numbers even have happened yet? They have rooms full of math scientists using test tubes and slide-rules.)
If you’ve followed the saga of Narnia watch, you’ll remember that Hugh Hewitt was quick to gloat after Narnia‘s opening weekend, but has been silent on the subject in recent days now that the dream of a Narnia over Kong second weekend has died.
Anyway, this was such a wildly unfair bet that I feel a little guilty even bringing it up. And I certainly don’t expect any fabulous prizes. (Although what self-respecting runner wouldn’t want a Hugh Hewitt Running Club t-shirt?)
