Jeff said... I think that $200 million figure can't possibly be right. I know it's on the IMDb trivia page but I don't think it's right.

There's too much King Kong hype online to dig through to find another source right now, but that does sound a lot more reasonable. 11:57 PM Zach said... Jeff, thanks for the Wikipedia link.

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
