‘The Golden Compass’ Loses Its Way at Critics and Box Office
The $180 million family fantasy starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig opened at no. 1 but with a lackluster gross of only $ 26.1 million. The producers are expecting about $40 to $45 million.
“It’s a little bit disappointing,” said Rolf Mittweg, president and chief operating officer of New Line’s worldwide distribution and marketing operations.
