It made $550 internationally (not counting DVD), making it Universal's 3rd highest grosser behind the first two JP's.
It wasn't considered a flop, but an underperformer. Peter Jackson and $200 million budget usually has visions of billions dancing in studios heads.

Yeah it made $550 million Worldwide at the box office bringing back more than two and half times its production budget.

If you crunch the numbers thats about a $95 million profit for Universal.
But making a $95 million profit off of a $207 million investment is considered modest. Studios like to make thier budgets back in pure profit. I think Universal was expecting King Kong to pull in $600-$800 worldwide.
On the postive side, I exchanged E-Mails with the guy who runs www.the-numbers.com and he estimated King Kong brought in roughly $300 million worldwide via DVD sales. That would mean it made over $800 million. Thats not including the almost $40 million in DVD rentals (North America) and almost $30 million for the television rights.
