The King's crown may be slipping. A potential tie is shapping up at the box office this weekend between "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," which has been on top for two consecutve weeks, and newcomer "Big Fish."

Preliminary figures show Tim Burton's "Big Fish" as tops with $14.5 million, closely followed by "The Lord Of The Rings" with $14.1 million, but final figures could flip-flop those rankings. "Cheaper By The Dozen" was third.

But with just $400,000 between the two top films, analysts said the rankings could change after the final numbers were released Monday.
