the sky turns gray where i end and you begin...

After vociferously claiming that Big Fish was this weekend's top film at the box office, Columbia Pictures must now hang its head in shame. Estimating that Tim Burton's film had earned $14.5M for the three days beginning Friday, the actual numbers released today paint a very different picture: $13.8M. After all, what's $700,000, right?

New Line Cinema's The Return of the King remains the top-grossing film for the fourth consecutive week, earning a healthy $14.2M. The film has earned $312.3M to date.
