After 3 weeks being #1 at the box office the return of the king drops to #2 as people are starting to look at other movies as the box office list shows this week.

The critics for big fish are very good indeed.I guess that people are tired to see the king several times as Marshall did. :) :)

Not so fast on the de-throning..... check out this site:

In terms of dollars the haul was extremely close, and immediately prompted suggestions that something in the Hollywood kingdom smelt fishy. New Line distribution president David Tuckerman told Reuters on Sunday he believed the estimates for rival Columbia's release "seem a little high," and that Big Fish had probably only earned about $13.7 million. So there's a tiny possibility that the tables could be tipped when final figures are posted Monday.
