Golden Compass Tops Box Office, Juno Huge in Limited Release



Despite some pretty rough reviews, Golden Compass managed to top the box office this past weekend, bring in $26.1 million, according to Box Office Mojo. Enchanted was a repeat #2, with $10.7 million, followed by This Christmas ($5 million), Fred Claus ($4.6 million) and Beowulf ($4.4 million).

In limited release news, Atonement wracked up $817K on 32 screens. while Juno did boffo business at just 7 screens, bring in $531K for a per-screen average of $60K. Wow! Word of mouth is great on this one -- I've got two friends who saw it this weekend, and both loved it.

Overall, a pretty weak showing. Here's hoping the Christmas releases spark it up a little.
