So who is winning the box office race? Hollywood Lot Magazine looks at the first 25 days of each movie in this head-to-head battle. Since Kong opened on a Wednesday and Narnia on a Friday, we begin the day 1 comparisons for each movie on Friday, but include Kong's additional two days in the final box office challenge numbers.
