"Narnia 2" #1
at www.wildaboutmovies.com

For the complete weekend movie box office report - just look below. To watch the corresponding movie trailer or check out the corresponding movie poster, click on any link next to the movie box office report.

The Walt Disney and rapidly disintigrating Walden Media coproduction "The Chronicles of Narnia 2: Prince Caspian" opened at #1 at the movie box office this weekend - but barely, and quite embarassingly.

The first "Chronicles of Narnia" big screen adventure opened in movie theaters in 2005, opposite "Brokeback Mountain" and "Memoirs Of A Geisha" with more than $65 million.

"Prince Caspian: Narnia 2," with no new competition at the movie box office took in less than $55 million its first three days in movie theaters, and will undoudbtedly drop precipitously next weekend when "Indiana Jones 4" marches into theaters to clean up anything and everything, new and old, in its way.
