The crowds were not quite as thick as pea soup, but the horror remake The Fog (review) pulled in enough fans to win a close race at the weekend boxoffice with an estimated $12.2 million debut, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Finishing second was the previous weekend's No. 1 movie, the animated adventure Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which took in $11.7 million to lift its total to $33.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Cameron Crowe's quirky romance Elizabethtown (review), starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst, overcame poor reviews to open at No. 3 with approximately $11 million. The weekend's other new wide release -- Tony Scott's action thriller Domino (review), with Keira Knightley -- flopped with roughly $4.7 million, coming in sixth.
