Box office blog: 'Beowulf' roars to the top

The legendary hero proved his strength this weekend, with "Beowulf" earning $28.1 million to top the box office. Robert Zemeckis' performance-capture animated epic is surprisingly entertaining, which can't be said for the Willy Wonka-ripoff "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium," which came in at No. 5 with only $10 million. Producers of "Love in the Time of Cholera," a weak adaptation of Gabriel Garcia
Marquez's novel, are probably feeling ill after the movie made only $1.9 million to place tenth for the week. Did the story of "Beowulf" excite you, or did you just see it for the naked animated version of Angelina Jolie? Is Dustin Hoffman goofy or embarrassing as Mr. Magorium? And how come screen versions of beloved books never live up to their source?
