New Line Cinema’s The Golden Compass may have tanked at the US Box Office, but thanks to an impressive international run the fantasy film now has a cumulative gross of $315 million at the worldwide box office.
The adaptation of Philip Pullman’s novel Northern Lights has earned only $67 million in the United States to date, but its strong performance in various other territories (particularly the UK, Spain, South Korea and Australia) has seemingly come to the rescue of the big budget production (and possibly its potential sequels).
New Line Cinema’s Marketing Chief Rolf Mittweg said in a press statement: ‘The box office revenue has been nothing less than astonishing overseas. With the forthcoming premiere in Japan, we can expect a significant boost to our worldwide box office.’

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
