Box office blog: 'Compass' less Golden than expected
A box office-topping $26.1 million isn't a shabby opening, but for "The Golden Compass," expected to bring in $30 million or $40 million in its first weekend, it looks pretty weak. Were people turned off by the controversy stemming from claims that the first part of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series is anti-religion? Or were they uninterested in another Nicole Kidman-Daniel Craig movie after "The Invasion"?
Anyway, "Compass" was the week's only major release—bumping "Enchanted" down to No. 2—though "Atonement" brought in about $817,000 in only 32 theaters. Next week brings lots more box office clout, with the openings of "I Am Legend," "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "Juno."
