The Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia

When I hear "The Chronicles of Narnia," I think of "Saturday Night Live"'s digital short "Lazy Sunday". (If you don't understand the title to this blog post, you should do yourself a favor and click that link for two and a half minutes of amusement.) But apparently I'm in the minority with that line of thought. The third installment in the "Narnia" series had a solid first-place finish in its box office debut.

From The Associated Press:
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.
