‘Kong’ Bomb?

Malarkey, Drudge. It may have had a relatively low opening day, but it opened on a Wednesday in a cold December before anyone has off from work or school with no built-in Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings/Star Wars-style hardcore fanbase that rushes to opening night, and it’s getting outrageously good word of mouth. It’s going to do just fine. It’s also a pretty handy barometer for just how messed up Hollywood has gotten itself that a movie’s being pronounced a bomb before it’s been out 24 hours.
