1. The Golden Compass - A disappointing $26.1 million weekend proves it takes more than Nicole Kidman, epic battles, and armored CGI polar bear fights to bring in audiences. It also takes a giant robot polar bear that totally eats the shit out of every other polar bear.

2. Enchanted - I can't figure out why America paid $10.7 million to see a fairy tale princess in the real world when we've already had one. Rest in peace, Diana!

3. This Christmas - Why talk about the $5 million weekend gross when Chris Brown could sing about it?

4. Fred Claus - $4.7 million worth of recommendations to not see Fred Claus.

5. Beowulf - After taking in another $4.4 million, what's next for Beowulf? Answer: NEOwulf!

Honorable Mention: Juno only made $420,000, but it only played on seven screens, so that's nutso.

I bet the theater was gearing up for a big weekend. I love when they do that and it turns out dead. I laugh.

We need to remember that The Golden Compass had all that religious stuff wrapped around it for so long.  The reviews were so-so but every single entertainment magazine has had an article about the backstory.

I really dislike religious groups that condemn things before they even read or watch it. Idiots. And so the Catholic league is saying people can't make their own choices with what they read? They protested the Golden Compass so kids wouldn't be influenced in reading the His Dark Materials series. Talk about brainwashing.
