'Zathura' never stood a chance. The first weekend estimates are in, and last week's number one movie 'Chicken Little' continues its box office dominance in the face of new challengers. In fact, Disney's first computer animated flick recorded the lowest second week drop for any movie this year, losing only 20% of its audience from last week to capture number one again, this time with $32 million dollars. In two weeks the movie has already made $80 million dollars. It’s not doing ‘Shrek’ or even ‘Incredibles’ business, but the film is clearly a hit, and Disney’s first real animated movie success in years.
