Mammoths and multiplexes go hand in hand, apparently, especially if said mammoths are of the CGI variety. According to Boxofficemojo, 10,000 B.C., Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX) prehistoric epic, pounded the rest of its competition like an angry caveman warrior clubbing a saber-toothed tiger (I didn't see the film, but I assume this happened at some point during the plot). The film is estimated to have taken in over $35 million (final numbers are due later today) at domestic theaters over the weekend. Disney (NYSE: DIS) couldn't even come close to Time Warner -- its family comedy, College Road Trip, right now stands at a gross of $14 million, which was at least good enough for second place. Erstwhile Disney Channel phenomenon Raven-Symone star in the flick, so at least there was a little bit of synergy in that respect -- Disney is nothing if not about synergy, as we all know.

Sony's (NYSE: SNE) Vantage Point came in third, and Time Warner's Semi-Pro, starring the hilarious Will Ferrell, came in fourth. Lions Gate's (NYSE: LGF) The Bank Job, which achieved fifth position, actually did pretty well, considering that its per-theater average of approximately $3500 was much higher than the per-theater average for the two films above it.

CBS Corp. (NYSE: CBS) is in need of a solid new hit. While CBS has consistently been America's "most-watched network" for several years, the trend may be in danger. Perennial ratings powerhouses such as the CSI franchise, Two and a Half Men and Survivor are getting a little long in the tooth and may only have a few years left before fickle viewers tire of them.

Meanwhile, fall season has started off slowly for the venerable network, as two of its returning drams ... the two-year-old James Woods vehicle Shark and the procedural drama Cold Case -- beginning its fifth season -- saw sagging ratings. At 10:00 p.m. Eastern, Shark attracted an all-time low of 11.5 million viewers, roughly 6 million less than Without a Trace drew when it premiered in the same time slot last year.

12.3 million viewers tuned in to Cold Case, airing at 9:00 p.m., down from the fourth-season premiere, which drew 17.6 million households. Next week, the competition builds as Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) ABC Network premieres Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters.

For the night, CBS took second place, behind General Electric's (NYSE: GE) NBC Network, which won the night easily with Sunday Night Football.
